Good Effect of America's
.Election Handicapped by
Casa Blanca Incident.
STOCKS GO DOWN FAST
Franco Accepts Germany's Proposal
to Arbitrate OTer Desertions.
Kaiser's Government Then
Backs Down on One Proviso.
PARIS. Nov. 4. The generally good
' . r u.inn i.nnm financial H.Ill 1 mPIl t ill
thi city produced' by the election of
Trt has Deen more man onset, i
temporarily, by the renewed anxiety
over the attitude adopted by Germany In
the matter of the Casa Blanca incident.
Thte Is the case of the desertion of sev
eral Germans who had enlisted in ths
foreign legion of the French army. Ger
many asked arbitration for the question
Df International law involved in the right
of Germany -to protect her subjects who
had enlisted In the foreign legion and
who subsequently deserted.
France Accepts Offer.
France accepted this proposal, provid
ed that the arbitration should cover ths
question whether or not Germany in
spired the desertions in question. Ger
many refused this counter offer and
France has declined to modify her atti
tude. This situation created alarm on the
Bourse this morning. which opened ex
cited and lower. A gnylual calmness
settled, but the usual measure of call
ing the German Federal Council together
to consider the political situation contin
ued to hang over the market. The con
viction, however, that Taft's election
means a resumption of prosperity in
America with the consequent reflection
In Europe, turned prices upward in the
middle of the session.
The Bourse weakened again at the
close on the rumor that Germany had
demanded the recall of the French Con
sul at Casa Blanca. No confirmation of
this report, however, could be obtained.
An official statement made public this
afternoon sets forth that Franca in
tends to insist firmly upon arbitration
both In the matter of the law and the
facts in the Caea Blanca Incident. She
will make no apology for the actions of
the French officers at Cssa Blanca un
less the arbitrators decide that an
apology Is due.
VON" BILOW HAS MAJORITY
Reichstag Assembles With Neither
Chancellor Hot Ministers Present.
BERLIN1, Nov. 4. The Reichstag re
assembled here today. Long before
the designated hour the members gath
ered in the lobbies and the committee
rooms and discussed the position of
Chancellor Von- Bulow.
Neither the Chancellor nor any Min
. istf r appeared at today's session and
the exceptionally full House faced a
row of empty Ministerial seats.
Four Interpellations were moved, ask
ing the Chancellor to explain the Im
perial Interview. Two were by Social
ists, one by a Radical and another by
a Conservative. -The House carried by
a large majority a resolution to post
pone discussion of these Interpellations
to another sitting. The Impression to
day is that Prince Von Bulow will be
supported by a majority In the House.
TAFT MAY GET MARYLAND
(Continued From First Paire.)
have come, as stated, the pluralities
for one or the other as figured by the
local correspondents. Using these fig
ures. Taft's vote In state and city
combined Is 111.254 and Bryan's 111.131.
In the city, with all precincts reported
on, Taft has 50.SS2 and Bryan 49.0S2,
giving; the city to the former by Just
1803. But here again the official
count may change the apparent result.
Throughout the state the votes
polled by the Prohibition, Socialist and
Independence Party candidates made
only a trifling total. ' The figures are
not obtainable tonight. Indeed all re
turns from this election In Maryland
have been unusually difficult to obtain.
While thi Maryland delegation In
Congress remains unchanged In politi
cal complexion. It Is changed In per
sonnel. Kronmlller, Hep., replaces
Wolf. Drm., In the Third district, and
Covington. Dem., succeeds Jackson,
Rep.. In the First. The great surprise
appeared In the heavy reduction of the
majorities of Congressman Mudd, In
ths Fifth district, and Congressman
Pearrs In the Sixth. Covington's plur
ality In the First district Is unofficial
ly 2872: Talbot's, in the Second, 2488;
Kronmlller'a. In the Third. 331; Gills.
In the Fourth. 2033: Mudd's, In the

DEMOCRATS SWEEP NEBRASKA
Bryan Han 10,000 With Democratic
Governor and Congressmen.
LINCOLN. Neb.. Nov. 4. Returns today
and tonight on Tuesday's election while
fsr from complete, are sufficiently def
inite to confirm and emphasise the first
report that the temocrats have made a
sweeping victory in Nebraska. While the
pluralities for the victorious party are not
phenomenally large, they are complete,
the state ticket and candidates for Con
gress In most Instances running parallel
with Bryan, who was expected to lead
the ticket by several thousand.
Complete returns from a third of the
counties and scattering precinct returns
from most of the state show that Bryan
wtll have a plurality of not less than
Irt.on and Shallenberger, Democrat, for
Governor, and the remainder of the
IVraorratlc state ticket will have scarce
ly a thousand less.
But the Democratic victory does not
stop there. At least four and probably
five of Nebraska's six Congressmen are
Democratic, only one Republican. Hln
snaw In the Fourth district, escaping de
feat. Nealy complete returns show that
Hinshaw has won by nearly TOO votes,
although h!s district gave Bryan a plur
ality. There Is a close fight nl tha
Fifth district between Norris. Rep., and
Ashton. Dem.. with the chances favoring
the Democrat. Not enough returns have
been received from the Sixth to base an
estimate, hut the trend of ths district Is
Democratic.
Tha greatest surprise of all is the over
whelmingly large majority the Democrats
will have in the Legislature. Of the 1-3
Senators and Representatives elected the
canvassers ofy returns tonight could find
but 18 Republicans who had won. These
returns of course are incomplete, but
the Republican committee concedes that
the Democrats will control both houses.
Lancaster (Lincoln) County, which has
for 30 years elected none but Republican
members to both branches, this year sends
four Republicans and three Democrats.
INDIANA FOR TAFT BY 8000
Republicans Lose Two Congressmen,
Governor and Senator.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. Nov. 4. A rad
ical change In Indiana's representation
In the National House of Representatives
was the most striking feature of yester
day's election. The latest unofficial re
turns complete give the Democratic par
ty 11 members and the Republicans two.
This Is a gain of seven for the Demo
crats, the former representation" being
nine Republicans and four Democrats.
Taft carried the state for President,
according to incomplete returns, by
about 80"0. Thomas R. Marshall and the
entire Democratic ticket are elected,
prtobably by a plurality around 15.000.
As theretums come slowly rolling in
Marshall's plurality Increases, while -the
vole on the Republican National titcket
decreases.
The State Legislature Is probably
Democratic, which means that a Demo
cratic success to Senator Hemenway
will be chosen. In this connection the
name of John W. Kern Is mentioned.
The defeat of Congressman Jesse Over
street and Charles B. LancUs, who were
regarded as fixtures in the lower House
of Congress, was quite a surprise.
Republican State Chairman Goodrich
admitted today that the Republicans
lacked two votes of having a majority
of the Legislature on Joint ballot. They
had been able to count on 74 members
of the Senate and the House and were
wondering where they were going to get
the two additional votes necessary o
give them control. Three Representa
tive districts were still In doubt, but the
Republicans were not making much
claim on them. In fact. Mr. Goodrich
said it looked as if the Republicans
would not be abla to land two of the
three
The returns show that the Democrats
will have XI members of the Senate. In
cluding their noidovers. The Republi
cans will have 44 members of the House
and the Democrats 4t, provided they get
the doubtful districts. This will mean
that the Republicans will control the
Senate and the Democrats will run the
House. ;
The three districts undoubtedly will re
turn Democratic Representatives, accord
ing to the best information obtainable
and the opinions expressed at the head
quarters of both parties.
TAFT; LEADS IN
MISSOCRI
But Back Counties May Wipe Out
His Plurality.
ST. LOUIS. Nov. 4. At 11 o'clock
Taft is 8S92 votes ahead of Bryan on
the returns from 58 counties and the
City of St. Louis. The complexion of
the next Legislature Is In doubt,
though the indications are the Demo
crats will control it by four or five
votes on Joint ballot. This will assure
the re-election of W. J. Stone to the
United States Senate.
The Republican Senatorial nomina
tion Is In doubt between Richard Ker
ens and John C. McKinley.
The Republicans have apparentyl
elected Herbetr S. Hadley for Governor
by at least 8000 plurality, and the
probabilities are that he has carried
the entire state ticket with him
Complete returns from all but two
precincts of the City of St. Louis give
Hadley a lead of 15.605 The two pre
cincts that have not yet reported are
strongyl Republican and will increase
Hadley's plurality In the city to 16,000.
The Democratic counties show a uni
form Democratic loss on the Governor
ship and It is Impossible at this hour
to see how a Democratic majority
outside of the City of St Louis can
wipe out Hadley's lead.
Harry M. . Coudrey. . Rep., of the
Twelfth Missouri Congressional DIs--rict,
whose defeat was indicated last
night, was re-elected.
MONTANA GOES REPUBLICAN
Taft Gets 3000 Plurality Pray Re
elected to Congress.
BUTTE. Mont.. Nov. 4. Advices from
throughout Montana tonight Indicate
that Taft has carried the state by a
majority cIobs to 3000. C. N. Pray, of
Fort Benton, is re-elected to Congress
by about 4000. The Governorship is
still in doubt, with Donlan (Rep.), run
ning about 1600 behind Norris (Dem).
The chances are that the latters lead
will be reduced by votes from normally
Republican counties.
About 30.000 votes are yet to be heard
from throughout the state. Returns in
dicate the election of the Republican
state ticket, with the exception of Gov
ernor, although several Demicrats may
pull through.
BIG MAJORITIES IN CHICAGO

Stevenson Beats Deneen.
CHICAGO, ' Nov. 4. Complete returns
from Cook County. Including Chicago,
were avallabl today. With the excep
tion of Stevenson (Dem.) for Governor,
who carried the county by a scant 1397
over Deneen (Rep.), the Republicans
rolled up handsome majorities on the
National and state tickets. Following
are the Republican pluralities: Taft,
President, 76.413: Oglesby. Lieutenant
Governor, 36,087; Rose, Secretary of
State. 69.567; L. McCullough. Auditor,
67.332: Russell, Treasurer, 69,747; Stead,

Judges have not finished the counting
of Tuesday s votes. Complete returns j
from the state will not be available
for many days, but the final effect of J
their tabulation will be merely to
Increase slightly or diminish the Re
publican majorities, as estimated last
night. These will range from 10.JOO
for the state ticket to 15,000 for Presi
dential electors.

Taft Carries Own State, bnt Harmon

CINCINNATI. 0.. Nov. 4. A plurality
of about 50.000 for Taft was the election
day expression of the voters of Ohio, who
at the same time chose the head of the
opposition state ticket by- a plurality of
probably 3n.". More than hair the pre

cratic leader of Hudson County, was
the one conspicuous Democratic lead
er in New Jersey who favored Bry
an's nomination.
Essex County, the home of ex-Unltea
States Senator Smith, gives Taft about
23.000 plurality. Roosevelt carried the
county four years ago by 25,068.
OKLAHOMA 18.0 00 FOR BRYAN
Republicans Gain Two Congressmen
and Many Legislators.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 4. Com
plete returns from 40 counties In the
central and northern sections of ths
stats received by Chairman J. B.
Thompson, of the Democratic state cen
tral committee, give Bryan a plurality
of 13,000. The counties yet to be heard
from are principally tuose bordering
on Arkansas and Texas, which have
large Democratic votes. These prob
ably will raise Bryan's plurality to
18.000.
Unofficial complete returns from 40
counties and partial returns from other
counties of the 75 indicate that the
legislature will be composed of 110
Democrats and 43 Republicans. This is
a gain of 25 for the Republicans, but
the defeat of United States Senator
Gore Is not threatened.
Marked gains were made by the So
cialists. The party vote in Oklahoma
last year was approximately 10,000.
This year's returns may increase those
figures to 17.000. both old parties los
ing, the Democrats probably more than
the Republicans.
Bird S. McGuire, R. T. Morgan and
C. E. Creger, Republicans, are elected
to Congress from the First. Second and
Third districts, a Republican gain of
two.
DELAWARE ASSEMBLY CLOSE
May Require Official Count to De
termine Control.
WILMINGTON. Del., Nov. 4. The re
turns from rural Newcastle County and
from Kent and Sussex, the two lower
counties in Delaware, are unusually slow
in coming in, but enough information has
been received to show that the entire Re
publican state ticket, with the exception
of Davis for Attorney-General, has been
elected. Gray. Dem., for the latter office,
probably has been chosen by 2000 plurality.
The Democrats claim 20 members of the
Legislature, while the Republicans con
cede them only 18. The Republicans sa;
that they had 17 members of the lowo
branch. The Senate stands 10 Republican
and six Democrats with one tie fron
Sussex County. It will require the offl
