WASHINGTON. Nov. 14. Champ
Clark, Speaker of the House, reached
Washington today and conferred with
Democratic leaders regarding the Con
gressional election, which, according to
the latest unofficial returns, leaves
control of the next House in doubt.
The Speaker first conferred with
Representative Doremus. of Michigan,
Iphairman of the Democratic Congres
sional Committee, who predicted, de
spite unofficial returns, indicating the
election of five more Republicans than
Democrats, that the final canvass
would give the Democrats control and
the Speaker would be re-elected.
Republican Gain Predicted.
': On the other hand. Representative
Woods, of Iowa, chairman of the, Re
publican Congressional Committee, in
sisted that the complete returns would
show Republican gains instead of
losses, and that Republicans would dic
tate the organization of the House.
Representative Doremus declared
early in the day at the White House
that 212 Democrats and only 211 Re
publicans surely had been elected, and
that there were nine doubtful districts.
He reiterated this later to Speaker
Clark, Senator Stone, of Missouri, and
other Democratic leaders, enumerating
districts which he believed would show
Democratic victories on the official
count. In the course of the day. how
ever, there were no changes in the un
official results, now indicating the elec
tion of 217 Republicans, 212 Democrats,
two Progressives, one Progressive
Protectionist, one Independent, one So
cialist and one Prohibitionist.
Democratic Claims Outlined.
Representative Doremus, In his state
. ment of doubtful districts, at the in
formal conference of party leaders, pre
dicted that official returns would re
verse the result and show the election
of "W. O. Martin, Democrat, over W. F.
Martin. Progressive-Protectionist, in
Louisiana; Zebulon Weaver, Democrat,
over James J. Britt, Republican, in
North Carolina; Thomas J. Scully,
Democrat, over Robert Carson, Repub
lican, in New Jersey; Samuel W.
Beakes, Democrat, over Mark R. Ba
con, Republican, in Michigan; T. J.
Steel, Democrat, over G. C Scott, Re
publican, in Iowa, and M. C. Kelly, Pro
gressive, over William H. Coleman,
Republican, in Pennsylvania.
In addition Mr. Doremus insisted that
Clyde H. Tavenner, Fourteenth Illinois,
apparently defeated by Republicans,
' had an excellent chance of ultimate
. 1 success.
Mr. Doremus claimed the defeat of
, Miss Jeanette Rankin, Republican, in
.-. Montana, but tonight received a mes
sage from the Democratic candidate
conceding Miss Rankin's election by a
safe majority.
Several Contests Close.
Unofficial returns in disputed dis
' trlcts show the election of W. P. Mar
tin, of Louisiana, by 91 votes; Britt.
North Carolina, by 13; Carson, New Jer
, sey, by 11; Bacon, Michigan, by 100;
Scott, Iowa, by 73; Coleman. Pennsyl
vania, by 20; Francis, Eighteenth New
Tork, by 2P56. and Graham, Fourteenth
Illinois, by 1529.
Republican leaders contend that final
results will show the election of A. J.
. Barchfeld, Republican, over Guy E.
Campbell. Democrat, in the Thirty-sec
ond Pennsylvania District, and Robert
F. Duer. Republic - over Jesse D.
', Price. Democrat, t:i the First District
of Maryland. Announcement of a con
. test in the Maryland District was made
, today. In tne Thirty-second Pennsyl
vania District, on the official count to
day, Campbell, Democrat, had made a
net gain of 14 votes In two Pittsburg
'. wards.
Speaker Clark evinced great interest
5n the claims of the Democratic Con
gressional chairman and remarked at
the close of the conference that the
Situation was "very interesting."
"The only thing to be done," said the
" Speaker, "is to watch the official count
In all the districts and wait for the
; final results. Three times in the bis-
tory of the Government there have been
prolonged contests over the election of
a Speaker. Twice it took three months,
end once it required two months and a
half to elect the Speaker.
"The first long fight was in 1851.
when Howell Cobb, of Georgia, was
elected Speaker after a, fight lasting
more than two months, during which
'. no party could get a majority. The
rights which lasted three months ended
in the election of Governor Pennington,
of New Jersey, in 1860 and General
Banks, of Massachusetts, in 1856.'
"The struggle was hot in both these
" contests, and they were determined
only after the House had adopted a
. resolution which provided that only 10
1 wore ballots be taken, and if on the
10th ballot no candidate had a ma.
jority the man who had the plurality
should be declared elected. It was
agreed that enough members would
change their votes after the 10th ballot
to give the candidate with the plurality
the legal majority.
"The most interesting of these con
tests was that in 1856 John Sherman,
Republican, of Ohio, was the leading
candidate. Every time Sherman would
appear to be near election a member
named John B. Clark, of Missouri no
Kin of mine a radical secessionist,
would denounce Sherman for having
recommended an abolitionist book
written by a man named Helper. The
speeches ended Sherman's chances and
Banks finally was elected."

Electing W. D. Wood State
has become a habit in
Washington County and he will begin
his third successive term when the
Legislature meets in January. Sen
ator Wood is a native son and was
born in the county he represents. He
is a graduate of Pacific University and
of the medical rchool at Ann Arbor,
Mich. His value as a legislator is gen
erally recognized in the county and he
has served with credit upon many im
portant committees. His slogan, "Acid
test of all appropriations," is taken
seriously by the people who elect him.
Just at present it is an open secret
that he is laying his wires to land the
plum of President of the Senate.
B. P. Cornelius, member of the lower
house, is another Washington County
official to whom holding public office
is no novelty. He has also had pre
vious legislative experience, having
been elected to the House in 1893. He
is a native of the county and has passed
his life within its borders. Always
prominent in public affairs, he served
as School director, load supervisor and

Judge from 1894 to 1898 and served as
postmaster of Hillsboro for eight years.
He is widely known as the Republican
warhorse of Washington County and
has served repeatedly as chairman of
the County Committee.
Attending the Legislature is no new
experience with Benton Bowman, who,
after serving year after year in various
clerkships, was in 1914 elected to the
lower house, 'mat the people were well
satisfied is shown by the fact that this
year he was elected to succeed himself
by the largest vote received by any
candidate for the House. Mr. Cowman
is a Hillsboro attorney. He has served
as attorney for the Washington Coun
ty Juvenile Court for 15 years. He is
a native of Illinois and has lived in
Hillsboro for 24 years. He was nine
years City Recorder of Hillsboro and

COUNT NOT CHANGED
Wild Rumors About California
Vote Discredited.
SPLIT SEEMS IMPROBABLE
Republican and Democratic Leaders
Agree That Charges of Gross Ir
regularities and Gravfe Er
rors Are Xot Warranted.
SAX FRANCISCO, Xov. 14. Demo
cratic and Republican party leaders
announced here tonight at the termina
tion of the second day of official can
vass of the votes cast at the Presiden
tial election November 7 that nothing
had been found by the tabulators which
would indicate a startling change In
the unofficial totals.
Rumors of gross irregularities in the
conduct of the election and reported
errors in totaling- the votes cast for
Charles E. Hughes, which made their
wav here from the East, were discred'
ited by Democrats and Republicans
alike, neither organization being of the
opinion that the charges wero based on
facts.
Various reports from different parts
of the state tonight seemed to indicate
that there would be no split In Call
fornia's 13 electoral votes, but no posi
tive statement to this effect would be
forthcoming, it was said, until the end
of the official canvass. The recount is
not expeoted to be complete until early
next week.
SANTA ANA, Cal., Nov. 14. The of
ficial count of Orange County's election
returns was made here today but not
certified to, as one precinct tally sheet
is sealed with the ballots. The high
vote for Hughes electors was 10,487,
a difference of 43 compared with the
low. and the high vote for Wilson 6393,
a difference of 34. The ballots of the
uncounted precincts, which gave
Hughes 122 and Wilson 89. unofficially.
will be opened in court next week.

of 190 votes was made by Charles E
Hughes in the first day's official count
of the Presidential vote cast Tuesday,
Twenty-two errors were discovered by

WILSOX MAKES NET GAIX OF 4 0
including iron and steel, hardware.
canned goods, dry goods, paper, paints
and oils. The increases proposed in
the compromise include the heavy fruit
and canned good3 traffic from the
Coast. The Commission's- action Is in
tended as an adjustment of the old
inter-mountain rate dispute, but un
officially it was said at the Commission
that as the increases contemplated
amounted to 10 and 25 cents per hun
dred pounds and were subject to pro
tests by shippers, the Comnrission's ac
tion might prove temporary, pending
the hearings on the applications un
der the fourth section.
Original Order Canceled.
The fourth section is that part of
the interstate commerce law which
governs the question of lower rates
for long hauls than for hauls to in
termediate points.
The Commission originally allowed
the lower rates to the Coast because
of water competition. Spokane and
other intermediate cities filed 'long
and short-haul applications," asking
relief in view of the elimination of
Mississippi River boat competition and
the closing of the Panama canal Dy
slides. The Commission last June re
voked the original order and directed
that the rates to intermediate points
be reduced or to Pacific Coast ter
minals be increased. The railroads
adopted the letter course, but the pro
posed increase in the rates were sus
pended until December 30, and by to
day's action are canceled.
DEALERS TO ABSOIUS ADVANCE
Increase Is Xot Expected to Afreet
Price to Consumer.
J. N. Teal, attorney for the Portland
Traffic & Transportation Association,
yesterday received the following tele
gram relative to the commission's or
der from Secretary McGinty. of the
Commission:
"Commission has authorized cancel
lation of all tariffs suspended In in
vestigation and suspension docket No.
909, and therefore all hearings in said
proceedings are canceled. Hearings
on the fourth section applications will
stand as set. Please notify all con
cerned in your locality."
Mr. Teal explained that this probably
means that the carriers have asked for
authority to cancel tariffs showing ad
vanced rates effective September 1 and
suspended until December 30. and that
they have filed with the Commission
new tariffs carrying rates higher, as a
rule, bv 10 cents per 100 pounds on
carload lots and 25 cents per 100 pounds
on less than carload lots.
H. E. Lounsbury. general freight
icenl for th O.-W. R. & N. Company.
and W. D. Skinner, traffic manager for
the North Bank road, confirmed the
advice that the carriers have arranged
to file the tariffs carrying the 10-cent
and 25-cent increases on carload and
less than carload movements, re
KDPctivelv.
It is stenerally -understood that the
shippers have given the carriers to
understand that they will make no
protest against this proposed advance.
Some of the principal commodities
moving -under Schedule C rates will be
affected, as , result of this advance,
as follows: Iron and steel. Including
sheet iron. bars, plates, horseshoes,
nails and other rough iron will be ad'
vaticed from 55 cents to 65 cents: cot
ton piece goods from 90 cents to 1;
canned goods from 75 cents to 85 cents;
wrsirjnina: oaner and other paper prod
ucts from 75 cents to 85 cents: oilcloth.
linoleum and carpets, from 75 cents to
cents, paints and oils the same.
It is not expected that the advance
will affect the price to the consumer.

Further Quibbling, It Is Said, Will

able Conduct by Mexican
Chairman Insisted On.
ATLANTIC CITT. N. J.. Nov. 14.
Repudiation by Louis Cabrera today of
a plan of border control that had been
agreed upon by two of his colleagues
and the three American members again
has made doubtful the ability of the
Americans on the Mexican-American
Joint commission to assist Mexico in
its efforts to restore normal conditions
along the frontier.
Tuo Americans were hopeful tonight
that they might yet induce the Mexi
cans to agree to what they believe will
bo a satisfactory plan for the protec
tion of life and property along the
boundary, but it was indicated by those
in touch with them that further op
position, characterized as quibbling,
would not long be tolerated.
Mexican Mutt Be Tractable.
There appeared reason tonight to be
lieve that unless the chairman of the
Mexican Commission adopted a. more
tractable manner, he and his associates
would be informed that further con
sideration of Mexico's social, economic
and military problems must come to
an end.
The agreement that provided for the
withdrawal of the American punitive
expedition now in Chihuahua and for
a method of dealing with border raid
ers in the future was reached yester
day, Ignacio Bonlllas and Alberto J.
Pani. of the Mexican commission, con
curring. Mr. Cabrera, chairman of the
Mexican representation, went to Phila
delphia, where he conferred with
Rafael Nieto. sub-secretary of the De
partment of Finance, of which Mr. Ca
brera is chief. It was when he re
appeared in the commission room to
day that he announced his opposition
to the details of the plans agreed on.
Cabrera la Vehement.
The commissioners themselves have
remained reticent regarding the un
expected opposition by Mr. Cabrera and
all have declined to discuss for publi
cation the details of the plan agreed
on. It is Known, however. Mr. Cabre
ra's expression of his dissatisfaction
was vehement.
That the agreement on the part of
the Americans for the withdrawal of
the troops did not provide for their
immediate retirement was indicated. It
stipulated, it is understood, that they
should be brought out within a fixed
time if within that period the Carranza
government had demonstrated its abil
ity to guard the border against raid
ing bandits.

Oregon, having supported Hughes, is
not expected to share in the distribu

mentioned for recognition and some
reports Indicate that he may succeed
McAdoo as Secretary of the Treasury.
Wallace is in high standing with the
Administration by reason of his work
in the campaign, and is thought to be
not only in line for a good appoint
ment but is known to be in a. receptive
mood. If he does not have a chance
for a Cabinet place, he is expected to
eet a good diplomatic post.
