CARDINAL GIBBONS —-f Now Stated That He May Be Candidate for Throne REPORI IS I ROM KOMI Cardinal Wanted to Head Movement Against Ultra Conservatives— Modernization of Vatican Also Desired. Romo, July 28.- The arrival of Car dinal Gibbons in Rome lias brought preconclave politics to new pitch of intensity. All day yesterday ai the (V-adian college of St. Sulpice the cardinal received a constant stream of vsitors, which continued until lute last night. To all visitors not in clerical circles Gibbons, while friendly, is non-com mittal. From others it is learned that he is looked upon as the natural leader of (he modern and foreign element against flip Italians and the ultra con servatives. The chief movement of reform in which Gibbons’ friends wish him to lake the lead is the modernization of the Vatican. While no Catholic de sires no change in the religious con duct of die church, the purely business side of the Vatican administration has become antqunted, many ceremonies connected with the death, of a pope losing much/of their due impressive ness from their management. The second reform is the appoint ment of cadtnals among the nations according to Catholic population, thus depriving Italians of predominance in the sacred college. It is recognized that t.b'e only way ho secure these reforms is by the elevation of some cardinal to the papal throne who Is in sympathy with them. While it is still improbable, it is now recognized as a possibility that if the support a few Cardnals can he secured, Gibbous him self may he asked to forego his objec tions and become a candidate for elec tion. w IS ATTRACTING INTEREST.
