LAW OF CASE DISCUSSED Government Officials DeeIy Inter; ested in Possibility of Contests. Votes Must Be Sent to Wash ington "Forthwith." WASHINGTON, Nov. 9. Government officials here were deeply Interested and not a little concerned over today's announcements from Democratic and Republican campaign leaders that con tests might be expected, with a possi bility of legal proceedings, over ' the vote for Presidential electors in several of the close states. Examinations of the decisions of the Supreme Court and of the revised states disclosed that electors are plainly re garded as state officers. The highest court has held in two leading cases that questions of their proper or improper choice are for state election officers or state courts to determine and that the Federal Government is not law fully concerned, even if fraud is shown. -'lectors Meet In Own States. The revised statutes provide that the electors shall meet in each state and "give their votes" on the second. Mon day in January following election, at places to be designated by the State legislatures. In the ordinary course of proceedings, where the right of the electors to sit . is uncontested, their votes would be counted in the House of Representatives here on the second Wednesday in February, and this would be the legal end to the election. The statutes further provide that where a state shall have laws made prior to the election determining meth ods by which controversies or contests over electors shall be settled, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, these laws "shall be binding and shall govern in counting the electoral vote." Officials here were under the impres sion that it would be found . that all the states that may be Involved in con tests have laws of this character. Question of Time Not Decided. Aside from the direction that the electoral votes of all the states be counted in the House on the second Monday in January, there seems to nothing to indicate just how muc latitude a state might have in deter mining contests so as to have its vote counted at the fixed time. The statutes provide that the votes of the states be forwarded to Washington forthwith after the electors meet on the second Monday in January and also say that whenever the certificate of any state as to its electors has not been received in Washington on the fourth Monday in January a special messenger shall be sent to the Federal District Judge in that state, in whose hands one certificate must be lodged, us he is required "forthwith" to for ward . his certificate to the capital, ('ongreu May Bevene Renuli. When Congress meets to receive the votes it is still possible for a majority to reverse the certified results from any state in certain cases. As" the votes are read to the joint session, the statute gives the right to any member of either house to object, the objection to be considered in separate session. Where only one return has been made from a state. Congress cannot overturn the certified result, except that the two houses concurrently may reject any vote where it appears not to have been given by the properly chosen electors. Where more than one certificate for a state has been sent the vote of those electors who, the two houses shall con currently decide, .have been supported In a contest by the proper state author ities shall be received and accredited. Where there has been no determina tion of a contest by state authorities and more than one certificate is re turned, the choice as to those properly selected is with the two houses. If the two houses disagree the certificate signed by the executive of a state con cerned shall be binding and. the votes Bo certified counted. mates of the Hood River apple crop for 1916 have jumped from 900.000 boxes, pre-harvest figures, to a present total of more than 1,200.000 boxes. In numerous Instances growers on pick ing their fruit found that they had failed to order, by 50 per cent, enough boxes to contain the heavy yield. Never have Hood River apple grow ers had to contend with such obstacles in the harvesting of the crop as this season. Simultaneously they were struck with a shortage of labor and a lack of boxes, brought on by the acute car shortage prevailing throughout the country. While mills with which the sales agencies had contracts had a suf ficient supply of receptacles on hand, the lack of cars made it impossible to get them here at the time of greatest need. This situation, however, has largely been relieved at the present time. Many growers picked their fruit and placed it in heaps on the ground be neath trees. At this late date at least 15.000 boxes a ORDER YOUR XMAS TALKING MACHINE NOW ON OUR EASY PAYMENT PLAN Every Man, Woman and Child Who Needs Winter Knit Underwear Will Be on Hand Today and Saturday to Take Advantage of This Big Demonstration and Sale of Standard Qualities at Lowest Prices o i WILSON GAINS IN INDIANA rugbcs Plurality Cut to 6071, With 172 Precincts Missing.

The funeral of Henry ix God ley, pioneer of 1853, and for the past 25 years a resident of Portland, was held yesterday aft ernoon from the East Side Un dertaking establishment. The fu neral was conducted by Dr. John H. Boyd, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. Mr. Godley. had been a member of the Presbyterian Church for a num ber of years'. Mr. Godley was a native of New York, but came to this sta.te in "853. He settle! first in Albany, then lived in Chehalis for several years, and about 25 years ago moved to Portland, where he had since resided. He is -urvived by his widow and four childien. The death of Mr. Godley was the first to occur in h'j imme diate family for more than 50 years. Interment was in Riverview. i ofappIes remain unpicked on the Fast Side. Ben Davis and Newtowns have been left until the last. The most serious problem now con fronting growers is that of lack of storage. Unable to move apples in ma terial quantities because of lack of cars, the sales agencies of the city were forced to close their doors last night All orchardists are now turning their attention to hauling cider stock, and it is probable that the local plant of the Hood River Apple Vinegar Com pany will soon be glutted.
