On June 9, Father Bernard Ardura, president of the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences, said that the note had recently been discovered in the archives of the Archdiocese of Kraków.
L'Osservatore Romano has printed a previously unpublished note in which Cardinal Jan Puzyna recorded the events of the five-day conclave of 1903. Cardinal Puzyna, the bishop of Kraków, had been created a cardinal by Pope Leo XIII only one year earlier.
According to the note, the first ballot resulted in 27 votes for Cardinal Mariano Rampolla, then Secretary of State; 17 votes for Cardinal Girolamo Maria Gotti, the Discalced Carmelite who served as Prefect of the Congregation for Propagation of the Faith; and 7 votes for Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto, the Patriarch of Venice.
The second ballot resulted in 29 votes for Cardinal Rampolla, 16 votes for Cardinal Gotti, and 10 votes for Cardinal Sarto.
Cardinal Puzyna presented the Austro-Hungarian imperial government’s veto of the Rampolla candidacy to Cardinal Oreglia, who refused to accept it. Cardinal Puzyna then presented the letter of protest to Cardinal Rampolla himself.
The next ballot resulted in 29 votes for Cardinal Rampolla, 9 votes for Cardinal Gotti, and 21 votes for Cardinal Sarto.
Cardinal Puzyna announced the imperial government’s veto to all the cardinals. According to the note, he spoke with other cardinals about the need to elect a pious, great-hearted Pope who understood the work of a diocesan bishop. Cardinal Adolphe Perraud, the Oratorian bishop of Autun, France, spoke out against the veto.
The result of the next ballot was 30 votes for Cardinal Rampolla, 29 votes for Cardinal Sarto, 6 votes for Cardinal Gotti, and 2 votes for Cardinal Oreglia.
Cardinal Rampolla spoke out against the veto but did not mention that Cardinal Puzyna first spoke with him privately.
The next ballot resulted in 29 votes for Cardinal Rampolla and 27 votes for Cardinal Sarto.
Following the ballot, Cardinal Sarto told the cardinals that he would not accept election.
The next ballot, however, resulted in 35 votes for Cardinal Sarto, 16 votes for Cardinal Rampolla, and 7 votes for Cardinal Gotti.
Cardinal Francesco Satolli, the Prefect of the Congregation for Studies, told the cardinals that Cardinal Sarto would accept election.
The final ballot, according to the note, resulted in 50 votes for Cardinal Sarto, 10 votes for Cardinal Rampolla, and 2 votes for Cardinal Gotti. Cardinal Sarto accepted the election and took the name Pius X.

In the papal election of August 1903...cardinal, Mariano Rampolla del Tindaro, was by far the most popular candidate. But Cardinal Rampolla...was blocked by the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph through powers known as the Jus exclusivae, which allowed a select group of Roman Catholic monarchs to veto any would-be pope of whom they disapproved.
