Cardinals fail to pick new pope on day one of the conclave

By Lauren Kent, CNN
Rome (CNN) — Black smoke rose from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel on Wednesday, meaning that cardinals did not elect a new pope on the first day of the conclave.
They’ll return to the Santa Marta residence, where they’ll remain sequestered until a second day of voting begins tomorrow.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
