ELECTION OF POPE
CONCLAVE OF CARDINALS OPENING ON MARCH 1 Received Feb. 22, 5.5 p.m. VATICAN CITY, Feb. 21. The official Conclave of Cardinals will open on March 1. It is expected that all .he 62 Cardinals will then have arrived. Cardinal Eoggiani, aged 76, who is ill with diabetes and is almost blind, has been pronounced sufficiently recovered to participate. Three doctors, one of whom is a surgeon with operating equipment, are being confined in a secret area to attend invalids. Thirty loud-speakers are being erected round the facade of the square of St. Peter’s.
CARDINALS EXCHANGE VISITS
STRONG SUPPORT FOR MASSIML (Independent Cable Service.) Received Feb. 22, 11.5 p.m. VATICAN CITY, Feb. 22. The cardinals all day exchanged visits and conferred before the conclave. A survey of the visits showed that Cardinal Massimo Massimi, legal expert, orator and author received the largest number—l 7. Cardinal Massimi has not previously appeared among the leading candidates, but the number of his supporters, it is believed, substantially exceeds yesterday’s callers, who are known to favour his election.
