Notes

1 2 Canada and Hawaii defaulted after being drawn away to European entries, because of the difficulties of travel.^[7] The withdrawals of Japan and the Philippines were likely for the same reason; in the following year the draw would be divided into geographical zones to lessen the amount of travel required.^[8]
