Hundreds of pilgrims in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican eagerly anticipate the election of the new pope.<br/> <br />If white smoke rises from the Sistine Chapel it would signal that a new pontiff has been selected.<br/> <br />So far though, only black smoke has risen, indicating that the conclave's elections have so far proved inconclusive.<br/> <br />The process began on Tuesday evening, with two morning and two afternoon votes on Wednesday.<br/> <br />Despite not seeing the white smoke they had hoped for, visitors said they felt a positive outcome would come soon.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. TOURIST MATT WESTOVER FROM BOSTON:<br/> <br />"Well they didn't select the pope so hopefully they'll do it tonight so we'll come back tonight, at seven o'clock to see if the smoke is white."<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (Italian) PILGRIM SILVIA FROM GERMANY:<br/> <br />"I am very moved, I can't wait to see the new pope who will unite the whole world."<br/> <br />The 115 cardinals tasked with electing the new pope will remain sequester
