Murphy there; the" latter remaining at
his home in Oak Park on account of
sickness.

they traded me." said the Cub leader Just
before boarding his train, "but I would

WIRES HITCHCOCK RESULT
Secretary McArthnr Informs Nation
al Committee of Oregon's Hand
some Majority Added to Taffs
Overwhelming Victory.
' There were smiles and plenty of red fire
last night at Republican headquarters:
in fact there was so much red fire that It
interfered with the flashing of bulletins
and C. N. McArthur, secretary of the
Republican State Central Committee, or
dered tills part of the Taft victory cele
bration stopped so as to give the large
crowd on the street below a chance to
read Taft is snowing Bryan under. Be
cause there were so many places over
the city that were flashing the returns
and because the weather was so perfect
outside, the crowd was small inside.
Shortly after 5 o'clock. Secretary McAr
thur received a telegram from Chairman
Hitchcock, announcing that Taft would
carry New York State and making anx
ious Inquiry about the results in Oregon.
The news that Taft had carried New York
State was received with great satisfac
tion by Secretary McArthur and he wired
Hitchcock that Oregon would give Taft
at least 20.000 and he explained that the
polls in the state did not close until 7
o'clock.
Only a few of the Republican leaders
stayed at the headquarters to near the
returns as they were flashed over the tele
graph instrument and by telephone. Con
gressman Ellis was among the early call
ers. Mr. Ellis was deeply Interested in
the outcome in Ohio and in New York and
when Taft bci-an to roll up his majority
in New York and throughout the state,
he expressed deep satisfaction. The vote
In Ohio, although Taft's election had been
assured by the telegraphic advices, Mr.
Ellis was anxious to see how far the state
would go. Wallace McCamant was an
other Republican who arrived at head
quarters early and stayed until all of the
excitement was over.
Out in the main room of the headquar
ters chairs were provided and among the
men seated around were a number of
women who seemed to take as much in
terest in the returns as the men. Secre
tary McArthur's voice was in fine condi
tion and during the early part of the
night he was kept busy reading aloud the
returns as they came over the wire. At
9 o'clock when the returns from the state
began to come in, he sent Hitchcock a
telegram, confirming his earlier prediction
and sent another at 10 o'clock.
