DescriptionExact date held is unclear. After the initial round result of 10-9-9, a runoff was held to break the tie for second place. Livingstone voted McIntosh in the runoff, expecting him to be the easier foe to face, but lost in the end by one vote with two abstentions (one a strong Harrington supporter).
