LOCAL
NF.W YORK. Nov. Further gains
for Wood row Wilson were recorded
as the belated returns came in today,
and this afternoon the president-elect
was credited definitely with ;ii! votes
in the electoral college. In addition
there was a strong trend to Wilson
from Illinois, with the democrats
claiming that state would yet add its

During the day Rhode Island and
New Hampshire were shifted from
tue Taft to the Wilson rolunin, giv
ing the democrats a clean sweep in
New I'ngland with the exception of
Vermont which went for Taft.
Colonel Roosevelt was definitely
credited with 112 electoral votes, but

Taft arose this morning and showed

feated for the highest honor in the

"I am going to be glad to be back
among my friends here." laughed
the president to some newspaper
men. "I shall resume my law prac
tice here at the end of my term."
President Taft and his party will

several appointments were consider
ed as virtually settled. These are:
William J. llryun, as secretary of
state; Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, former
chief chemist, us secretary of agri
culture; Louis D. Ilrandels, the Hus
ton attorney, as attorney general; W.
Ci. McAdoo, Is also slated for ii cab
inet portfolio, either as postmaster
general or secretary of war.
Josephus Daniels, national com
mitteeman from North Carolina, and
Chairman of the democratic public
ity bureau. Is also regarded as a
likely choice for postmaster general.
Chairman V. F. McCoinbs of the
national committee, It Is reported,
will not be called tc the Wilson cab
inet, but will be taken care of In
some other capacity f lie desires. He
Is In poor health and Is expected to
avoid nny heavy or confining work.
For secretary of the treasury,
Repp sonlnthe A. Mitchell 1'alnier,
Wilson leader 111 Pennsylvania, or
Congressman R.'dlleld of New York
are regarded ns leading In Wilson's
consideration.
