WEST GOES FOR WILSON Bigger States in Hast Are Republi can, but Democrats Seem to Have Equal Chance at j Least to Win. ' (Continued From Tlrat Page.l and Republican Chairman Willcox claimed 301. Each was claiming Kentucky, Kan sas, Montana, Nebraska and Washing ton. Missouri,' Indiana, West Virginia, Arizona and Delaware were leaning toward Hughes. Majority of Two Is Claimed. Chairman McCormick, however, claimed the President could have a majority of two. votes in the electoral college without carrying California, Indiana, North and South Dakota, West Virgin or Wisconsin, from which returns wer.e far from complete, but showing a Republican trend. The early morning returns came in slowly. Managers of both parties were anx iously watching Ohio and both were claiming victory. As the hours dragged on it became more and more evident that it would be a close elec tion and there appeared possibilities that in some places it might be neces sary to resort to official counts to de termine the result. Democratic Optimism Gains. At 3 o'clock Mr. McCormick grew even more optimistic with regard to President Wilson's chances, saying that he would receive 291 electoral votes as against 240 for Hughes. Democratic committees from all parts of the country, said Mr. McCormick, had furnished figures on which the deductions were based. "We've got 'em," said Mr. McCor mick, in his statement. "Wilson's Vote is growing every minute." At Republican headquarters Chair man Willcox said he did not desire to change his previous estimates. Chairman Willcox, of the Republi can National Committee, at 8:50 o'clock gave out the following state ment: "The victory is greater than we had hoped for and it shows that the Amer ican people can be trusted to settle the issues of the campaign. The pres ent outlook seems to indicate a clean 6weep. That means Mr. Hughes is elected and that both Houses of Con gress will be Republican. The Ameri can people are to be congratulated."
