The convention then will hear the reports of the committee on repre- sentation, and will eleot its president for the eiection. It has been the cu tom to elect the head of the standing committee as the presiding officer, but owing to the fact that Dr. Dud- ley is one of the most prominently mentioned men for the bishopric, it is likely that some other clergyman will be elected to preside over the session: Nominations then will be in order. The two houses will vote separatel: a majority of both houses being nec- essary to election. There will be about eighty-one Cclerical delegates and something like eighty-four or more lay delegates, so that he who is elected bishop will have to poll at least forty-one of the clerical vot: and forty-three or more of the votes.

He was examined last ! week by a physician in Washington Court House, Ohio. his old home. He joined Attorney General Daugherty in Columbus last Saturday and was advised by the latter not to return ith him to Washington. but to go either to a sanitarium or a hos- pital until he was improved phy-| sically. Mr. Smith had Jost con-| siderable weight in the last half year. | He refused, however, to follow the suggestion of Mr. Daugherty and said that he would feel all right after he ot back to Washington. and was on the job, as he expressed it. Upon re- turning to Washington Monday night, Mr. Smith went to the Wardman Park Hotel and Mr. Daugherty went to the White House to stay a few days. Be- the latter that night Smith assured Mr. Daugherty that he felt much better than he had for several weeks. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Smith ae- companied the Attorney General to the golf course of Edward B. McLean at_Friendship, where he played for more than an hour. From the golf course Mr. Smith went to his office in the Department of Justice bullding, where he was business engaged for an hour, and then Mr. with Mr. Martin walked to ‘Wardman | Park. He com glllned to Mr. Martin that the walk ad been too long and wanted to retire early. Mr. Martin, room, said that they went to bes about 9 o'clock last night and that up to that time Mr. Smith had given no indication of ending his life other than complaining of feeling very tired.
