Whole Republican State ' Ticket Is
Successful Some Politicians
Think Guardsmen Will Cast
Deciding Ballots.
6T PAUL, Nov. 9. Errors In the
transmission of returns from several
rrecincts in Minnesota, discovered late
tonight, changed the standing some
1 -what in the Presidential contest. In
2333 out of 3024 in the state, the cor
rect figures give Hughes 176.545 and
"Wilson 175.511. This is a plurality
1034 for Mr. Hughes, with 85 precincts
to hear from. The correction amounted
to a substantial gain over the figures
earlier in the day.
When returns had been received from
2939 precincts out of 3024 in the state.
Mr. Hughes had a plurality of 737, the
count standing: Wilson, 175,399
Hughes. 176.136.
Except for President, Minnesota de
livered Its customary big Republican
majority as shown In the pluralities of
iovernor J. A. A. Burnquist and Frank
B. Kellogg, candidate for the United
States Senate.
Several prominent politicians ex
pressed the belief that the vote cast by
the Minnesota guardsmen at the Mexi
can border would be a deciding factor
In the Prsldential contest. The com
missioners who took the border vote
Tuesday telegraphed the Secretary of
btate today that Z13S guardsmen had
voted.
The state canvassing board Is to meet
next Tuesday to check the tabulation
Fheets sent In by local officials. At that
time the result of the guardsmen's vote
will be known.
State officials well acquainted with
gathering returns in Minnesota advance
various reasons for the delay in hear
ing from some of the districts. In
some of the counties the distances are
great. One precinct in Cook County Is
40 miles from the county seat, with
poor means of transportation.

MONDELL MAY BE BEATEN
Republican From Wyoming Few
Votes Behind for Congress.
CHEYENNE. Wyo., Nov. 10. Election
returns made the result of the Con
gressional contest in Wyoming doubt
ful, leaders of both parties admitted
early today. Democratic headquarters
claimed that John D. Clark. Democrat,
was leading Congressman Mondell, Re
publican, by 19 votes, with onlv 700
uncounted votes. Republicans insisted
that Mondell was re-elected, but gave
no figures.
President Wilson and John B. Kend
tflrick. Democratic Senatorial nominee,
carried the state by safe pluralities,
according to unofficial figures.
Boys Who Looted Store Arrested.
The grocery store of McBurney &
Brennan, 462 East Burnslde street, was
entered last Wednesday night by three
hoys who stole quantities of grape
Juice, vanilla, crackers, and some
matches and clothes line. Most of the
poods were recovered last night by
bergeant Ennis and Patrolman Thorpe,
who returned them to the store. The
boys will be turned over to the Juve
nile Court.
Logger With Liquor Is Arrested.
Felipe Inchante, a logger, was ar
rested last night at 41 North Fifth
street and charged with violating the
prohibition law. The police seised a
small quantity of liquor as evidence.
Information as to the alleged "blind
pig" was furnished the polico by Do
mingo Ruiz, who also swore out a
complaint charging Inchante with at
tacking and beating him on Novem

blood.
It is unnecessnary to suffer. Start
treatment at once. Get a bottle of

HUGH
ES IS SILENT
Conference Held With Leaders
on Future Course.
RECOUNTS ARE MENTIONED
Mr. Perkins in Afternoon Believes
That Minnesota and New Mexico
Will Go Republican Nomi
nee Remains Indoors.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9. Word that
California had been carried by Presi
dent Wilson on the face of nearly com
plete unofficial returns was carried to
Mr. Hughes shortly before he retired
tonight. He declined to comment on
the situation.- After communicating
with National headquarters, members
of Mr. Hughes' staff said that the ques
tion of a recount would be considered
tomorrow.
Mr. HugheS spent today studying elec
tion returns. The nominee and his wife
remained Indoors all day, except for a
two-hour motor ride in the afternoon,
and tonight they went to a theater.
Mr. Hughes' day was punctuated by
conferences with William B. Willcox,
the Republican National chairman;
George W. Perkins, of the Republican
campaign committee; George W. Wick
ersham and Everett Colby. Mr. Will
cox assured the nominee of his con
viction that full returns would show
the success of the Republican ticket.
To this Mr. Perkins added assurances
that Minnesota and New Mexico un
doubtedly would be found in the Re
publican column after the count had
been completed.
Mr. Wickersham declined to com
ment on his visit to the nominee, as
did Mr. Colby. The former said he
was present merely as a "volunteer
helper." Mr. Willcox, on leaving, said
there probably would be recounts in all
the states where the vote was- close.
and that he would do all that was nec
essary to "safeguard our interests."
Another subject mentioned at the
conference with the nominee was the
possibility that California might di
vide Its electoral votes, as In 1912. At
that hour the returns from the state
were closer than at any previous pe
riod of the day.

vantage could not be overcome by
Mr. Hughes.
Conceding West Virginia, New
Hampshire and Minnesota to Mr.
Hughes and he was in the lead in
all three only gives him 259 votes,
seven less than the required majority.
With 272 votes in sight President Wil
son had six to spare for a possible
split of electors in California, or a
sudden reversal in New Mexico.
At Republican National headquar
ters it was admitted that after con
ferences between George W. Wicker
sham, ex-Atto'rney-General of the
United States; Everett Colby, of New
Jersey; Mr. Hughes, Chairman Will
cox and George W. Perkins, of Balti
more, preparations were being made
to begin legal proceedings for re
counts in states where the results
were close. Chairman Willcox includ
ed California, New Mexico, North Da
kota, New Hampshire and Minneso
ta in his list of states where recounts
undoubtedly would be demanded.
Democratic headqu?.rters was not
behind the Republicans in preparing
for legal developments.
Legal Giants Marshalled.
Chairman McCormick conferred
with Alton B. Parker, ex-Democratic
candidate for President; Morgan J.
O'Brien, De Lancey Nicoll and John
B. Stanchfield, all prominent New
York lawyers. It was evident that if
the election was to be taken into the
courts the legal giants of both par
ties were being marshalled for such
a battle royal as the United States
never has seen.
Congress at that hour, " ocj reports
received, showed 216 Democrats, 211
Republicans, two Progressives, one
Independent and one Socialist
in the House. with fnnr
tricts unreported. In the Senate the'
reports showed 52 Democrats, 46 Re
publicans and one doubtful (New
Mexico). This represents a Democratic
House majority of one over all others,
and a Democratic Senate majority
of nine, with one missing.
It probably will still bo another day
before the full results are known from
any of the four states left in the doubt
ful column, and certainly not until
there has been an official count in New
Hampshire and possibly in Minnesota.
As Mr. Hughes is leading In Minnesota
and West Virginia and a change in
these states could in no wise affect the
result, there may be no demand for ex
traordinary haste to bring about the
recount demanded.
Virtually all of the states where the
result is close are carried In the Hughes
column, and for that reason the Demo
crats profess to be not apprehensive
that any overturning could come from
a recount.
In an official statement the Demo
cratic National Committee claimed 272
votes for President and a popular
plurality of from 200.000 to 300,000.

WILMINGTON. Del.. Nov. 9. Revi
sion of the complete returns from all
districts in Delaware show that A. K.

Congress over Representative Thomas
W. Miller. Republican, by 438 plurality.
Polk's election is conceded by Dr. L. H.

Santa Fe Willing to Guarantee Em
ployes Against Loss Pending De
cision by Courts.
KANSAS CITY, Nov. 9. A petition
enjoining the Federal District Attor
ney and "labor leaders" from putting
the Adamson eight-hour bill Into ef
fect was filed in the Federal District
Court of Kansas City, Kan., late today
in the name of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway.
The bill calls attention to agree
ments with train employes, none of
which, it says, contemplate that the
employe shall work a fixed number of
hours, but that, owing to the nature of
train service, the trip, in terms of
hours or mileage, as preferred by the
men. is the basis of compensation.
The bill .recites the circumstances
Burrounding the passage of the Adam
son law and declares that it is a mere
arbitrary Increase in wages. The law.
says the bill, is unconstitutional and
void because it is not a regulation of
interstate commerce: that it is a mere
experiment, intended as a basis for
further legislation; that it deprives the
company of its liberty of contraot'and
right of property without due process
of law, and that it is unworkable and
uncertain.
The bill devotes considerable space to
explaining why the company considers
the law unworkable. .It concludes with
a statement that the railroad is willing
to guarantee employes against loss
pending final decision as to the legal
ity of the law.

BERKELEY. Cal., Nov. 9. His naked
body wrapped in a bathrobe laced with
a network of copper wire and the wire
connected with the current from an
electric lighting fixture, Everett Gil
bert Morgan, of Oakland, a-junior stu
dent at the University of California,
was found dead today in his bed.
Morgan had been suffering from
rheumatism, and it was believed that
he contrived what proved to be his
death robe in an effort to cure himself.
The Coroner declared that death had
been caused by electrocution.
Hope for Split Ticket Held.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9. Joseph B.
Crail. Republican State Central Com

statement declaring: -If Hughes car

need only eight of California's electors
to win. Even a split ticket is almost
certain to give him that number."
Four Members of Odd Parties Are
Chosen Senate Apparently Will
Consist of 54 Democrats and
42 Republicans, Margin 12.
NEW YORK. Nov. 9. Congressional
election returns, which were nearly
completed tonight, assure President
Wilson in the forthcoming Administra
tion a Democratla Senate, but with five
districts still undecided the best that
the Democrats could claim at midnight
was a plurality of four votes in the
House.
Upon the basts of revised returns the
Democrats have elected 21S members
of the House and the Republicans 211.
In addition there have been elected one
Independent, one Socialist, one Pro
gressive and one Progressive-Protectionist.
Four districts in West Vir
ginia, two of them nearly Democratic)
and -two Republican, and one district
in New Mexico are still undecided. If
these districts do not change the Demo
crats will have 217 and the Republicans
214, a plurality of only three.
Working Majority Lacking.
As there will be four -members of
other minority parties, a working ma
jority for the Democrats is Improbable,
unless some of the minority members
should choose to cast their lot with
the Administration forces.
The Senate, according to latest fig
ures, will consist of 64 Democrats and
42 Republicans, a majority of 12. The
Democratic majority in the present Sen
ate is 16. The only development in the
Senatorial situation today was the
strongly indicated election of A. A.
Jones, the Democratic candidate In New
Mexico, who was leading his Republican
opponent, Frank A. HubbelL by a ma
jority which Democratic leaders re
garded as safe.
An unusual feature of the result is
the election of the first woman to Con
gress Miss Jeanette Rankin, Republi
can, having a good prospect of being
elected In Montana.
How House la Divided.
The House, according to the latest
returns, will be divided politically as

The only possible chance for the
Democrats to obtain a majority' in the
House will be the election of Demo
crats in all of the five doubtful dis
tricts. This would give them 220 and
a majority over all of five.
Until a late hour the Democrats had
a plurality of six and a possible major
