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

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.

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

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.
