J. Frank Hanley, of Indianapolis, introduced a resolution asking that the election of a missionary bishop for Singapore be indefinitely postponed, pending reassignment of the territory under the missionary bishops. The conference approved the postponement. Mr. Hanley also asked that Bishops John J. Robinson, stationed at Bombay, India, and William P. Eveland, of Manila, K.I., be elected general superintendents and that one bishop be chosen for Africa, instead of two missionary bishops.

The proposed changes were characterized as radical and "almost revolutionary" by several delegates, and eventually was defeated by an almost unanimous vote.

In the selection of two missionary bishops for Africa, it was provided that one who is to supervise the work in Liberia, must be of African descent.

A deadlock on both offices resulted on the first ballot, but the withdrawal of the negro candidate, virtually assures the election of Alexander P. Camphor, of Birmingham, Ala., tomorrow as bishop for Liberia.

The votes for the other missionary bishop were divided between Eben Johnson, of Sioux City, Iowa, with 97; J. B. Crowther, of New York, department secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, and Albert K. Smith, president of Northern College.
