310 REPUBLICAN ELECTORS
Returns Show Greater Republican Victory Than
Was Looked for by Most Sanguine.
HUGHES ELECTED
Returns Also Give New York
State and City to Taft.
MISSOURI IS REPUBLICAN
Maryland Still in Doubt, but Vote
Probably Be Split Bryan Will
Have 156 Votes.
New York, Nov. 5. The member
ship of the electoral college which
will choose the next president of the
United States was still in doubt when
the official counters in Maryland aban
doned their task for the night.
According to the best information
obtainable, the proportionate number
of Republican and Democratic elec
tors was determined by a division of
Maryland's eight votes. Half of the
city of Baltimore and two of the 23
counties outside that city are still to
be counted, but there is a strong indi
cation that the state's vote will be
split. In any event, the margin of
victory will be so small that the state
was claimed tonight by the leaders of
both parties. Though the splitting of
a state's electoral college vote is un
usual, it will be recalled that in 1904
Maryland chose one Republican and
seven Democratic electors.
Missouri appears to be safely for
Taft, to whom the latest returns give
a plurality of 300, with the prospects
that the few final districts will double
or treble the figures.
Conceding Missouri to Taft and leav
ing Maryland out of consideration to
be split between him and Bryan, the
figures show 310 Republican electors
assured and 156 Democratic.
Latest congressional returns indicate
that the next congress will be com
posed of 216 Republicans and 175 DemJ
ocrats, a majority for the Republicans
of 41.
The returns for the Socialist and
Prohibition parties are still far from
complete, but indicate that the hopes
of the Socialists have not been real
ized, and those of the Prohibitionists,
in certain sections where gains had
been expected, have been disappoint
ing. The figures for the Independence
party vote are also insufficient to give
an accurate idea of what that party
accomplished.
The states certainly carried by Mr.
Bryan are as follows: Alabama, 11,
Arkansas 9, Colorado 5, Florida 5,
Georgia 13, Kentucky 13, Louisiana 9,
Mississippi 10, Nevada 3, Nebraska
8, North Carolina 12, Oklahoma 7,
South Carolina 9, Tennessee 12, Texas
18, Virginia 12. Total 156.
Taft's plurality in the state of New
York, according to corrected figures
late tonight is 203,495, more than 28,
000 in excess of President Roosevelt's
plurality of four years ago.
Governor Charles E. Hughes was re
elected governor of New York by 71,
150. The returns as between presi
dent and governor indicate a heavy
splitting of tickets. The proportion of
scratched ballots was about the same
in the up-state districts as in Greater
New York.
Outside of the returns, political in
terest was engaged today in the ex
change of messages of congratulation
and thanks between Mr. Bryan and Mr.
Taft; a statement by Mr. Bryan in
which he sets forth his determination
to continue his work for the good of
all, in the capacity of a private citi
zen ; and the announcement by Mr.
Sherman that it cost him just $2,800 j
to be elected vice president.

Illinois.
Chicago, Nov. 3., 10 p. m. -The Re
publican national and state tickets
have gained a complete victory in Illi
nois, although the pluralities will prob
ably fall short of those obtained by
the party in the Roosevelt campaign of
1904. Taft has carried the state by
approximately 170,000 votes.
Charles S. Deneen, Republican can
didate for governor, ran far behind the
national ticket, but has been elected
by a plurality of about 100,000 over
Adlai E. Stevenson, his Democratic
opponent.
Chicago and Cook county gave a
plurality to Taft of 50,000 against
12b, 000 for Roosevelt four years ago.
Outside of Cook county the plurality
for Taft is not far from 120,000. The
plurality of Roosevelt in 1904 wa3
304,939 for the state.
Stevenson, Democratic candidate for
governor, carried Chicago by about
8,000 and the county of Cook by about
6,000. He lost heavily, however, in
the state outside of Cook. The state
legislature, which is to select a suc
cessor to Senator Hopkins, will be
strongly Republican.
The Socialist vote showed a consid
erable falling off from that of four
years ago. Debs in 1904 received 69,
225 votes. From the returns so far
obtained it seems probable he will not
receive much over 40,000.
Indiana.
Indianapolis, Nov. 4. Complete re
turns on the legislature show that the
Democrats will have a majority of
eight on joint ballot. Eleven out of
the 13 congressmen will be Demo
cratic, a gain of seven. Taft carries
the state by about 10,000 and Marshall,
Dem., for governor, is elected by about
15,000.
Montana.
Butte. Mont., Nov. 4. Advices from
throughout Montana tonight indicate
that Taft has carried the state by a
majority close to 3,000. C. N. Pray,
of Fort Benton, is re-elected to con
gress by about 4,000. The governor
ship is still in doubt, with Donlan,
Rep., running about 1,600 behind Nor-
ris, Dem.
West Virginia.
Cincinnati, Nov. 4. The total vote
has been received from many counties
of West Virginia, and these serve to
confirm the Taft victory by several
thousand, and because of this the Re
publicans continue to claim the state
ticket.
EXCEEDS TAFT VOTE.
Maryland,
Baltimore, 'Nov. 6. Calculations of
the official returns from Tuesday's
election, not finished until well after
midnight, show that the electoral vote
Plurality ot Cosgrove Over Pattison
Estimated at 47,166.
Seattle, Nov. 5. Returns from
every county in the state place Taft's
plurality over Bryan at 46,558. The
presidential vote on the Socialist, Pro
hibition and Independence party tick
ets was inconsiderable and fell far be
hind the predictions made by their
leading supporters. Cosgrove's plural
ity over John Pattison is figured at
47,166,
The Republicans have 37 state sena
tors and 51 state representatives, giv
ing them a majority of 77 on joint bal
lot, which insures the election of con
gressman Wesley L. Jones to the
United States senate to succeed Levi
Ankeny.
Returns indicate that both the two
proposed constitutional amendments
have failed of passage, the tax amend
ment being overwhelmingly defeated
and the eminent domain amendment
being defeated by a smaller majority.
The Hisgen vote in the state was
practically negligible, but Chafin, the
Prohibitionist, polled a respectable
vote. As indicated, the Socialist vote
approximates 12,000. Only one "stick
er" candidate, or candidate running on
a nonpartisan platform, in the entire
state got in. He was on the county
ticket in Skamania county.

Bryan elector 115,910.
Iowa.
Des Moines, la., Nov. 3. The in
complete returns received at 10 o'clock
indicate that Taft has carried Iowa by
a plurality of from 40,000 to 50,000.
This is a tremendous falling off from
the Roosevelt plurality of 158,000 of
four years ago, but it represents only a
slight falling off from the normal plu
rality. The entire Republican state
ticket is electd. probably by about the
same plurality.
Kansas.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 3. Kansas elec
tion returns are still very incomplete,
owing to the long ballot and the late
hour of closing the polls. The returns
seem to substantiate the claim of the
Republican state committee that the
entire Republican state ticket, headed
by Walter R. Stubbs, for governor, has
been elected by about 25,000 plurality,
and that Taft's plurality is a few
thousand votes larger.
California.
San Francisco, Nov. 4. California
not only gives a plurality for Taft
that will reach 75,000, but sends a
solid Kepubiican delegation to con
gress and elects a Republican state
legislature that will probably return
Perkins to the United States senate.
The capital removal amendment was
carried by a majority of 9,714.
The direct primary amendment was
carried by 30,000.
Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 6. William
Jennings Bryan has carried Nebraska
by a plurality of 4,500, according to
unofficial returns from all of the coun
ties. Shallenberger is elected governor
by 7,500.
Oklahoma.
Oklahoma City, Nov. 4. Complete
returns from 40 counties in the central
and northern sections or the state give
Bryan a plurality of 13,000. The
Aberdeen, Nov. 4. Indications are
that the entire Republican ticket in
Chehallis county has been elected by
good majorities and that the Demo
crats, Socialists and Prohibitionists
did not make anywhere near the show
ing that was anticipated.
Chehalis, Nov. 4. Complete unoffi
cial returns from 49 Lewis county pre
cincts give Taft 2.792. Brvan 1.276.
Debs 396, Chafin 47. Cosgrove for
governor has 282 plurality.
Yakima, Nov. 4. Yakima county
polled 5,400 votes, of which the Re
publican ticket got a straight vote of
about 3,400 and the Democrats 1,500.
Minnesota.
St. Paul, Nov. 3. The indications
are that Johnson carries Ramsey coun
ty ( St. Paul) by 6,500 and the state
ticket by at least 25,000. The re
turns indicate that Taft will carry Min
nesota by 80,000 and the final figures
may Bhow that he has 100,000.
Louisiana.
New Orleans, Nov. 3. Bryan swept
Louisiana today and the returns indi
cate a majority of 40,000. All seven
Democratic nominees for congress were
elected.
Texas.
Dallas, Tex., Nov. 4. Returns in
dicate the election of the entire Demo
cratic ticket by the usual majorities.
Rhode Island.
Providence, R. I., Nov. 4. With
about two-thirds of the 161 precincts
heard from, the figures indicate a prob
able plurality of 16,000 for Taft in
the state. The Republican state ticket
headed by A. J. Pothier, candidate
for governor, has undoubtedly been
successful.

by a small majority; Bartless, Dem.,
for congress, will win by a heavy plu
rality over Maxson, Rep., and Fitz

Jackson, Miss., Nov. 3. Bryan car
ried Mississippi by a majority of over
50,000. The vote for Taft showed
slight increase over the Republican
vote in the last presidential election.
North Carolina.
Charlotte, N. C, Nov. 3. The com
plete Democratic ticket will carry by a
majority of at leas t3'i,000. The Re
publican ticket made gain3 throughout
the satte.
Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 4. Although
Georgia gave Bryan a substantial plu
rality of about 20,000, Republican
gains were shown throughout the
state. Taft received a small majority
in two counties, and Watson, the Pop
ulist candidate, carried three counties.
Taft carried two wards in this city.
All the Democratic congressmen were
re-elected, and the re-election of Sen
ator Clay, Dem., is assured.
Missouri.
St. Louis, Nov. 6. Returns com
piled by the Republic (Democratic)
tonight give Taft the electoral vote of
Missouri by a plurality of 3,172. These
returns are complete from all but three
of the 114 counties of the state and in
clude estimates based on partial re
turns from the missing counties. The
Globe-Democrat (Republican) places
the Taft plurality in excess of 3,700.
The plurality of Hadley (Republican)
for governor is placed at 17,651.

Wisconsin.
Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 3. The Re
publican national and state tickets are
victorious in Wisconsin today by a
plurality estimated at 75,000. The

Carolina will give Bryan about 60,000
majority, while the satte and congres
sional tickets are overwhelmingly
Democratic.
Ohio.
Cincinnati, O., Nov. 4. Atl o'clock
this morning it seems that Taft will
have slightly more than a normal plu
rality of close to 50,000, while Harris,
Republican, for governor, is defeated.
The indications at this hour are for
the election of Harmon, Democrat, by
over 15,000.

national and state tickets. They have
elected both congressmen at large.
Delaware.
Wilmington, Del., Nov. 3. General
T. Colman Dupont, Rep., utate chair
man, claims Delaware for Taft by 3,
500 plurality.. He also claims the elec
tion of Pennewell, Republican, for
governor, by about 2,000, and the re
mainder of the Republican state ticket
by the same figures, with the possible
exception of Davis for attorney gener
al, whose election he claims by 1,500.
New Hampshire.
Concord, N. IL, Nov. 4. Two-fifths
of the vote of New Hampshire, counted
and returned, indicates that Taft has
carried the state by about 20,000 plur
ality. Henry B. Quimby, Rep., for
governor, will probably have 4,000
plurality, but as a majority is required
to elect, the vote of the minority par
ties may cut an appreciable figure in
determining the result. The two Re.
publican congressmen were re-elected-
Curtis, Ex-President of Defunct Insti
tution, Gixen Liberty on Suspend
ed Sentence Morse Asks Liberty
on Bail and Instructs His Counsel
to Fight to Highest Court.
New York, Nov. 7. From a cell in
the Tombs prison Charles W. Morse
now directs the efforts of his counsel
to procure his freedom, he having been
sentenced yesterday to serve 15 year3
in the Federal prison at Atlanta, Ga.,
for misapplication of the funds of the
National Bank of North America and
making false entries in the books of
the bank. Alfred H. Curtis, ex-presi
dent of the defunct bank, who was
tried jointly and convicted with Morse,
was given his liberty on a suspended
sentence.
While Morse's lawyers immediately
applied for and obtained a stay of exe
cution for 10 days after sentence had
been imposed, it is probable that Morse
will remain a prisoner in the tombs
until Monday, as Judge Hough has re
fused to admit him to bail.
The Morse lawyers applied late yes
terday to the United States Court of
Appeals for a writ to show cause why
their client should not be admitted to
bail, and the writ was granted, but it
is not returnable until Monday.
Whether a new trial will be granted
Morse is problematical. Judge La
combe granted a writ of error to his
lawyers today. The writ is returnable
December 3, and is based on the usual
grounds exceptions taken by the de
fense during the trial and exceptions
to the indictment itself. This step had
to be taken before application for bail
could be made, and it also leads to the?
argument for a new trial.
Morse's lawyers say their client has
instructed them to fight "to the last
ditch.'"'

that Mr. Taft's plurality in New Jer
sey will be between 65,000 and 70,000.
Republicans elect seven congressmen
and the Democrats two, the Sixth dis
trict, which is now represented by a
Democrat, William Hughes, being very
close and in doubt.
Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, Nov. 3. Republican
leaders claim Pennsylvania for Taft by
more than 200,000 plurality. Senator
Penrose claims a plurality of 250,000
for Taft in Pennsylvania.
Colorado.
Denver, Nov. 4. Chairman Vivian
of the Republican state central com
mittee admits that the trend of the
count of Tuesday's vote in Colorado is
toward a Democratic victory, but still
hopes that complete returns will give
the state to Taft and that some of the
candidates for state officers will be
successful. However, he concedes the
election of ex-Congressman John F.
Shaffroth, Democratic candidate for
.governor and also concedes a good ma
jority of both houses of the legislature
to the Democrats. This insures the
selection of Charles J. Hughes as
United States senator, nenry M. Tel
ler's successor, which will be made by
the next general assembly.

New York Architect Protests Against
300-Foot Buildings.
New York, Nov. 7. Dangers of con
gestion in downtown New York, should
the proposed new building code fail to
restrict more radically than now pro
posed the height of buildings hereafter
constructed, were dwelt upon by prom
inent architects and engineers before
the building committee of the board of
aldermen today.
Speaking for the American Institute
of Architects and Society of Beau Arts,
Ernest Flagg, an architect, opposed
the recommendation of the commission
because it fixed the limit of height so
high "that scarcely anyone would care
to build higher."
Mr. Flagg pointed out the danger
from congestion in times of sudden
panic, if the people in all the 300-foot
buildings which the new regulations
would allow to be constructed were to
attempt to get out at once.
"The street.?," concluded Mr. Flagg,
"could not hold them. To continue
this policy is to invite a disaster the
like of which has never been known."
The committee on congestion of pop
ulation submitted figures to show that
in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna and
every large center of population in
Europe the maximum height permitted
is considerably less than 100 feet.
The New York Board of fire under
writers and the Municipal Art commis
sion also voiced opposition to the 300
and 350-foot limitation.
No action was taken by the aldermen.

Sioux Falls, S. P., Nov. 7. Oppo
nents of the proposed new divorce law
raising the period of residence from six
months to one year and requiring that
hearings be held at regular terms of
court instead of in chambers are confi
dently claiming tonight that the meas
ure was defeated Tuesday. While
those favoring the new law will not
concede this, leading politicians who
are in close touch with the conditions
throughout the state and have been
neutral in the divorce law fight are of
the opinion that the law was defeated
