WILSON IS ELECTED I National Democratic Candidates Sweep the Country; Change in Both House and Senate Sure. ROOSEVELT RUNS SECOND Democracy Cahtures Over Four Hundred Electoral Votes. New York and Ohio Are for Wilson; Pennsylvania and Illinois Line Up for Teddy. New York—With the election of Woodrow Wilson to the presidency and Thomas R. Marshall to the vice presidency assured by the earlier re turns, the reports give indications polled by Roosevelt and Wilson in oth er parts of the state. Many surprises were shown in the returns. The New York state assem bly seemed to be overwhelmingly Democratic. In Illinois, indications i were that Judge Dunne, the Demo- cratic candidate for governor, had l won notwithstanding the heavy Roose velt victory. Former Speaker Cannon i seemed to have been defeated for re election to congress in Illinois. In addition to Roosevelt's apparnt- ly certain victory in Illinois, the con- fldent claims of the Roosevelt mana gers that Iowa, Michigan and Kansas would fall into the Roosevelt column seemed verified by the partially com plete returns. The returns from Cal ifornia were meagre, but left the state in doubt between Wilson and Roosevelt The uncertainty regard ing Vermont was settled by the an- WOODROW WILSON. OF NEW JERSEY. that the electoral vote of the Demo cratic candidates will pass tbe 400 mark. The size of the popular majority given the Democatic national ticket by the states outside of Illinois that might give electoral votes to either Taft or Roosevelt are matters of con- jecture. It was certain, however. that Illinois would give an over whelming majority to Roosevelt, while the race in Pennsylvania was so close as to bring all three candidates within range of success. Early returns gave Woodrow Wil son and Governor Marshall the "Solid South” and the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Kentucky, Maine, Mary land, Massachusetts, New York, West Virginia, Indiana and Missouri. As the returns from the West began to come in, the earlier counts were con firmed and Montana, New Jersey and New Mexico were added to those that seemed certain for the Democrat ic candidates, while scattering returns from San Francisco and Los Angeles made it probable that California might join the Wilson-Marshall col umn. Rhode Island also became a doubtful state on the first returns, and, based on the later votes reported, it Beemed not wholly improbable that its five electoral votes would go to Wilson. Tbe early returns gave an apparent victory to Taft in New Hampshire, but the Taft plurality dwindled as the count proceeded. Tbe vote in Utah as reflected in the first dispatches gave indications that that state would be carried by T I. The vote in Pennsylvania was am azingly close, the returns from more than 1000 precincts embracing 185,- 000 votes giving each of the three leading presidential candidates more than 60,000 votes. nounceent of the complete vote, which gave Taft a majority of 924 votes. The Providence, R I., Journal con ceded that state to Wilson, and with the vote close in New Hampshire, it seemed probable that New England’s THOS. R.

Following is a resume in a nutshell of returns from various states : Alabama—Usual Democratic ma jority. Arizona- Wilson has good lead; wo- man suffrage appears to have carried state. Arkansas—Wilson carries state by 60,000. California—Wilson leads and his manager claims the state by 20,000.

INTERVENTION IS SOUGHT, Porte Parmite Powers to Send War ships to Guard Subjects. London—Application has been made to the embassies in Constantinople for mediation by the powers and to end the hostilities and arrange a peace agreement. The ambassadors prior to this had asked the Porte to grant permission to each of the great powers to send one warship through the Dardanelles, and this request had been complied with. The only guarantee of safety for the native Christians and perhaps foreign ers In Constantinople is to be found in the presence in the harbor of the Turkish capital of the warships of the great powers. It is tbe general belief that Bul garia will refuse to listen to anything in the way of intervention until the Bulgarian army is at the gates of Constantinople, and will insist that Turkey make an appeal directly to the allies without interference from the powers. The powers have not been able to agree upon the French premier's formula of "territorial disinterested ness,*’ which is not acceptable to Aus tria or Germany. The powers are takng steps for the protection of Christians and their own political in terests in Turkey. One warship in addition to the vessels already dis patched to Turkish ports will be sent through the Dardanelles by each of the powers. The besieging forces are tigtening their grip around Adrianople and the bombardment is becoming more vigorous. In other directions the allies are concluding their occupa tion of Turkish territory. The Greeks have taken Nicopolis and Frevesa, and have landed a division at Stavros, which is marching to attack Saloniki.
