NEBRASKA STANDS BY HIM Ilcnrrs From New York Blast His Hopes and He Retires From Gjr Guests to Ponder OTer His Third Defeat. FAIR VIEW. Lincoln. Neb.. Nov. J. W. J. Bryan tonight received . his home. Fail-view, the returns which early told jiim that for the third time he had been d-feated in the greatest ambition of hia life. Confident of victory to the very last, he was not prepared to believe that hia rauM was fcwt until the pluralities of hia Republican opponent piled up In such pro portions aa to leave no room for doubt. When the early returns came in. he made Inquiry about the home state and found encouragement in the gains he made up date in New York over the Democratic vote of but aa the figures continued to be received he relied on Greater New "York to offset the heavy Taft vote above the Harlem River. Even In that he waa bitterly disappointed and he soon realised that the state was hopelessly gone and with It hia prospects of being elected. Few Crumbs of Comfort.' According to the predictions of hia man agers, he was led to believe that he would be elected without the aid of the Empire State and he turned his inquiries toward Ohio and Indiana. The heavy remocratic gain in the Thirteenth Ohio iistrlct waa a source of satisfaction and prophesies that Ohio would go Democratic followed. He also got much comfort out of a telegram from John E. Lamb, mem ber of the advisory committee, from In diana, stating that the Indications were that Indiana waa probably Democratic and derived a good deal of satisfaction from the fact that his own precincta had given him a handsome majority and In the reports that he would again carry his alate. The sun parlor of his home turned into a temporary telegraph and news paper office. W. J. Bryan tonight watched the returna with manifest in terest. He was. however, perhaps the most unconcerned among those who had assembled to learn the people's verdict. Mi. Bryan divided his time between the sun parlor and his library, where he got special reports from state chairmen and the National com mittee and frequently came upstairs and read aloud the reports lie had re ceived. ' The returns from New York, particu larly from the up-state precincts, were f more than usual interest to the can didate, who declared that the Demo cratic increase over the vote of 1904 about what had been eipected. After nearly three hours spent In his library Mr. Bryan came upstairs and talked to the newspapermen and otherjj who had assembled in the "workroom.' He read some further returns, but they told the . same story of defeat, and 'he announced that he would not have any statement to iilve out to night. A large number of voters of his pre cinct came In to congratgulato him on its being carried for him. and after chatting with them for a while he went into the house, first stating; that he would retire at .10 o-clock. Not One Word From Mack. While a number of Democratic lead ers from all over the country com municated wltii the candidate by tele graph, the absence of any word up to a lato hour from Chairman Mack was the subject of comment. Durtng the evening the friends of tho Bryan family from the surrounding country and from Lincoln dropped in. and. Rfter being received by Mrs. Bryan, showed their Interest in the election by remaining- to hear the re turns. The sun parlor presented a gay appearance, as the ladies, many of them in evening dress, eagerly scanned the hulh tins and endeavored to figure out a Democratic victory, while the men would assemble In little groups to talk over the situation. Mrs. Iavitt. Mr. Bryan's oldest daughter, would not concede that her father had lost his tight, and remained up until a Itite hour, believing that more favor able reports would be forthcoming. At 11 r. M. Mr. Bryan sent down stairs the following statement: "It Is very gratifying to receive mo complimentary a vote In my home precincts of Normal and in the City of Lincoln. We appreciate very much this expression of good will on the pait of our neighbors In Republican strongholds." Gel Freak Messages. At intervals during the early hours of the diy. Mr. Bryan would come Into the sun parlor and chat freely with the correspondents and by way of amusement he brought out a number f telegrams of the "freak" kind which he had received, giving him advice as to what he shouM do in case of his ele. tl.in. hlle waiting for the de tailed returns. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan en tertained a large company at dinner in honor of the correspondents who had been identified with his campaign and who accompanied him on his vari ous tours. The election for the time b.ing was forgotten. Previously to the dinner, the guests assembled in lhe drawing-room and Mr. Bryan treated them to a concert on the pi anola. After resting for an hour. Mr. Bryan rejoined the party in the sun parlor and began reading the returns. His daughters. Mrs. Kuth Leavltt and Miss ?ra-e. and his son. William, were among the jcroup In the sun parlor and spent most of the evening keeping in close touch with the situation, while Mrs. Bryan was content occasionally to come Into the room, although the candidate kept her thoroughly posted on the returns. At f'lS o'clock. Democratic head quarters In Chicago Inquired of Mr. Bryan what personal Information he ha. I and he replied that it was to the effect that the Democrats were mak ing gains where they were expected. The early leturns irom Brooklyn were a disappointment to the candi date, who remurked that it would be necessary for the Democratic vote In that rity to be larger in order to offset the Taft vote upstate. The press and other bulletins giving the Inter re turns were sent to Mr. Bryan in hia library, where he had gone after re maining upstairs for a short time. He read them carefully, bat made no com ment upon them. Taft Expresses Gratification. CINCINNATI. O.. Nov. .
