Conclave of July 31 - August 4, 1903
(Pius X)

Pope Leo XIII died in the Vatican on July 20, 1903. Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto was elected on August 4, 1903 and took the name Pius X. Sixty-two of the sixty-four cardinals participated in the conclave. During the electoral proceedings, on August 2, Cardinal Jan Puzyna, bishop of Kraków, Poland, Austria-Hungary, presented the veto of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria-Hungary against Cardinal Mariano Rampolla del Tindaro, secretary of State of Leo XIII. The cardinals strongly protested the imperial interference and continued voting. There was a powerful current of opinion that someone with a different style from Leo should be elected. On the seventh ballot held on the fourth day, Cardinal Sarto was chosen.
