HI'GHKS SAYS HE WIU, NOT SAXCTIOX THREATENED VOTE CONTESTS CHAIRMAN WIL COX WAS NOT WILLING TO CONCEDE DEFEAT. WILSON'S ELECTORAL VOTE 272 President Wilson Maintains Lead in California, X or Hi Dakota and .New Mexico Hughes JamkIs in Minnesota. NEW YORK, Nov. 11 Charles E. Hughes will withhold his congratula tory telegram to President Wilson until the official count of votes in Calfironia, New Mexico, North Da kota and New Hampshire is received-. If the official count confirms the Democratic victory, Mr. Hughes will not sanction court proceedings and vote contests.

Unofficial returns show that Presi dent Wilson's lead in California Is 4000 votes, New Mexico 2300, North Dakota 1200, and New Hampshire 100. Hughes' lead in Minnesota is (iOO votes, with the soldier vote still uncounted. The Republicans figure that Hughes will carry Minneesota, mak ing a total of 255 electoral votes. It the recount shows New Hampshire, North Dakota and New Mexico He publican, and Hughes Gains a por tion of California's votes through the split there, he may be elected. Defent Not Conceded. NEW YORK, Nov. 11. Republi can Chairman Wilcox refusesd to concede defeat, He said: "We are getting many charges and sugges tions of fraud. They came In letters and telegrams, and we turned them all over to the state chairmen, ask ing an Investigation. The National committee itself is making no inves tigation, it is simply waiting for final returns." Wilcox especially emphasized mis takes in counting, rather than fraud charges. He cited the fact that the Democrats in 1912 claimed Califor nia by 3000 votes, while the official returns split the vote. Mr. Wilcox conferred with Mr. Hughes thjs af ternoon.

Horns, belts and all other manner of peace disturbing contrivances were combined wilh hundreds of loyal Democratic throats in most "pleasing harmony" upon the streets last evening, when the enthusiasm of the local supporters of President Wilson hurst all bounds and vented itself in furore of noises and enthu siasm.

DAVID KOBKIU;, OF POBT LAD, SAYS Til K PKOPLK OF IIOSI IU IU; SIKH LD Dl MAND A .MIMCIPAL I li: A LTD OFIT- ci:iei i:stk;ati:s dkath. CONFfRRED WITH MAYOR RICE Dr. Il(d)crg Was 'alled Hero to In vestigate (he Death of Bayiuoiul Itiddlc, Who Passed Away . Last Fveuing. That Uoseburg is badly in need of t municipal health officer and that, iucii an official should bo appointed jy the city council at tho earliest possible date, was the statement made here (his morning by Dr. David N. lioberg, stato health officer, who arrived In Kosehurg last night from Cortland. Dr. Koberg came to Kose hurg lo investigate Ihe death of 111 tlc Kaymond Kiddle, who died at the home of his parents in this city at 1 1! o'clock last night, following an illness or a week. His death was due .o scarlet fever, according to the at tending physicians. While there is no cnuse for alarm :it the present time, Dr. Koberg. said very municipality Ihe size of Kose hurg should have a competent health officer in order that the citizens may be given Ihe greatest, protection 1 gainst contagious diseases. Al though the slate health officer has been unable to determine how Itay uond Kiddie contracted the fatal nalady, he said it might have been he result of lax methods practiced ') Hie health authorities of this vi cinity as long as two years ago. In cases of contagious diseases, Mich as scarlet fever, Dr. Koberg said, it was absolutely necessary that t hey should be handled by men of .vide experience in tlie medical pro esidon. First of all. he said, tho iwelllng in which the patient was loused should1 he (juarant inert and ti trustworthy person should he placed n charge to prevent anyone leaving u entering ihe duelling. This quar tuiine, he said, should be maintained (until ihe patient had fully recovered 1 ti tl was in a proper physical condi tion to co 1 ne in con I act with his friends and neighbors. In cases where death follows, Dr. Koberg aid, the body should be placed in an lir tight casket and interred without 1 public funeral. Probably the most important thing iif all, according lo Dr. lioberg, Is the 'nmiUittlon of the dwelling in which he patient was housed during Ill ness. This (ask should be. placed ,n Ihe bands of a competent physl ian, and the work cannot be done oft ihoroiif,hly, according to Dr. Ito )crg. Without proper fumigation, )r. Kohcrg said, a contagious dls ase may be contracted from some garment worn by the patient after a period of I wo years. Because of this possibilit y. I r. Koberg says. the health authorities of a community i-aiinol be too careful in their work. Another matter which calls for the appointment of a capable health ifficer in every town and city In Ore gon at the present time, according to Dr. lioheig, is the anticipation of an epidemic if infant ile paralysis on he Pacific Coast wiihiu the next 21 uonihs. Dr. Koberg said this dis ;ra has been rampant in the Kast--rn stale;; for more- than a year, and Western physicians are almost cer tain Dial it will eventually spread to Hie I'acllir Coast. Py taking proper precautions al this time, it Is Ills opinion that hundreds and possibly thousands of deaths may be averted. In view of existing conditions, and the ptohahility of infantile paralysis piciulitiK to ibis section of the I'uit ed States soon. Dr. Koberg urges Ihe appoint m en I of a municipal health otlicer here at once, In add it ion to conferring with a number of local physicians today, Dr. Koberg this afternoon held a coufer- letice with Mayor !t!ee. He expects ! lo leave for his home in Portland to nh:hl. It is expected that the mat j let- of appointing a city health officer I will be hikcu up bv the council next ' week.
