This because some of the}, ' delegates: cast their votes in the third ballot before Hon. George — P. Graham had announced his decision to retire and the ballot was thrown out; There was a similat mixup when a number of delegates voted beforc D. D. McKenzie retired. As a result it was decided to take the fourth ballot on number five ballot papers. With the contestants reduced to two in’ number, the interest in’ the final vote.was intense. The vote, as~ an- nounced by Hon. G, H. Murray, chairman of the convention, was 476 for Mr. King and 438 for Mr. Field- ing, majority for the former of 38.
