The President being absent the vice-president was called to the ekiir.

The Kelly men contended that he could vote as a Director, while the Hoover men took the con trary view. The discussion was animated the Directors standing six to six.

Some of the Hoover men, who handle large quantities of cotton, Raid unless an experienced Warehouseman was elected they would store their cotton elsewhere. Mr. Kelly then arose and said that while he desired the position of Su- terintendent, he would not by his candidacy endanger the success of the Warehouse and asked that his name be withdrawn.
