With tin official California returns showing Wil son leading Hughes by about 3021 votes, both Democratic and Ilopubllcan commutes perfected their checking organizations- today and nt every county soat when the supervisors begin tho ofllclal canvass of tho vote, attorneys and watchers from both parties will bo present. This action, according to tho local party lenders, Is taken with tho know ledge that a change In tho voto for Hughos averaging only' ono to tho precinct In California wljll add 13 electoral votes for Hughes, , Heney to Act for Democrats. Isadoro D. Dockwollor, Democratic .national coniiiiittcomnn, has during tho lost two dnys perfected the Dem ocratic organization for chocking tho oinclul count In every county of southern California, nnd tho Stato or ganization at San Francisco will do llkowlso north of tho Tolmchapl. In most caseB tho representatives of tho Democrats and Itopubllcans will In cludo two or three attorneys, For tho Doniocrats In Los Angeles, Franols J. Honey, Ooorgo J. Denis and Milton K.v Young 'huvo been re tained, by Mr. Dockwollor to' watoh the count that begins tomorrow at tho hall of records, Predicts Only Slight Change, Registrar ofyotora Thomna McAluor iho1 nnlnfori today that Loi :AhgoleB county will show on' sllht changes In tho ofllclal figures. Thus far there Is a difference of only two or threo hundred votes for tho ontlra list of Democratic presidential oloc tors. "Wo realize fully that with iyi ap parent lead of more than 3000 for Wilson, there Is need to watch tho official count closely," said Commit tooman Dockwcllor today. "An av erage ch'anga of less than ono volo to Uio precinct would put tile Hughes count well ahoad. All wo want for Wilson In ' California now is a square dear, and wo propose to get Just that square deal n a business-like and dig nified way." . WaSKInton: Nov. 11. Control of ths houso of representatives rests with threo or four districts, whoro tile result ' Is uncertain, or may bo overturned by1 tho official count. If tho balance swings to the four members elected outsldo the two old parties, It Is possible that neither Champ Clark nor James 11. Mann may bo speaker. Tho choice then may go to soma niombor of tho Progressive-lie-publican group, like Coopor, of Wiscon sin. Champ Clark might win with the aid of Martin, of Louisiana, Progres sive, and Loudon, Socialist, who are generally Inclined to support tho ad ministration in prcfcrcnco to tho stand patters. In four or five districts tho success ful candldato has a lead of less than 20 votes. Tho official count may eas ily make changes. Several contests aro nlroady In sight, which the houso will settlo after It organizes. Corrected returns show Loudon, So cialist, oloctod In Now York. Hlllqult, Socialist, claims defeat by fraud In the Twentieth Now York district, where only a few votes soparato him from tho two other candidates. I-nto re turns Indlcato tho following results: Democrats 215, Republicans 215, Pro gressives 2, Socialist 1, Independent 1, doubtful 1. In the list which follows the namos of both congressional candidates In Now Mexico are given, as tho result Is still In doubt. Only ono congressman Is to bo eluctud. No Prominent Leader Defeated No prominent lender of either party has boon defeated An unusually largo number of members have been re elected, so tho houso will chaugo to a lessor extent noxt March than for many tonus. Among the best known men defeated nro Iloborts of Massa chusetts, and Bonnet of Now York, Republicans; and Dully of Pennsyl vania and Cut lop ot Indiana, Democrats.
