Baltimore May 25 The Methodist Episcopal church conference now current will doubtless be long remembered for the number and peculiar character of the attacks on candidates for the bishoprics.

A telegraphic report about Rev Joseph Hingeley secretary of the conference caused a brief impression in Minneapolis. Rev Dr George T P Eckman of St Paul's Center York is also subjected to dubious tales. A committee later issued a statement defending the integrity of the church and condemning the tactics used against the candidates.
