that Hughes' plurality in Illinois will
exced 150,000.
A. J. Sabath, democratic congress
man from a Chicago district, conceded
at the democratic state headquarters,
Hughes had carried Illinois.
"Hughes has carried the state," Sa
bath's statement read. "Wilson should
have carried Cook county by 50,000 to
75,000 to win and returns do not indi
cate any such majority. Normal repub
lican majorities down state also would
have to be materially reduced for Wil
son to win. I think Hughes has carried
the state."

TopeUa, Rhus., Nov. 7. As Kansas

Congress Is In Doubt.
New York, Nov. 8. (Wednesday)
The balance of power in the next sen
ate and house of representatives was
swinging at 1 o'clock this morning
with the uncertain course of the presi
dential result.
Preliminary indications were that
tho republicans had won one of their
biggest fights in electing the two re
publican senators to replace the two
democratic ones in Indiana. Another
gain was certain in New York, where
William ('aider, republican, won in the
Hughes sweep of the Empire state
from William F. McCombs, former dem
ocratic national chairman, in the sen
atorial fight. Apparent victory for the
republican forces in New Jersey, indi
cated in returns to ldmght, insures re-
tirement of another democrat in favor
of a republican .Joseph S. Freling
huysen replacing James E. Martine.
Ohio conceded democratic as to the
national and general state ticket,
seemed likely to have scratched enough
democratic ballots to send Myron Her
rick, republican, to the senate, in place
of the present democratic incumbent,
Atlco Pomerene. II. A. DuPont of Del
aware, apparently has gone to defeat at
the hands of a democrat.
Senator Saulsbury of Delafare, chair
man of the democratic senatorial com
mittee ridiculed claims of the republi
cans that they gained control of the
upper house.
''Our reports," he said, ''indicate a
loss of two and a gain of four demo
cratic senators not including Indiana,
where the result still is is doubt."
Because of the renicndous interests
in tho presidential race, counting of
ballot in the congressional raco was
general sidetracked, but among the in
teresting features established in the
count .so far is the fact that there
will be at least two socialist congress
men in the next house Meyer London
of New York, having been re-elected,
and Victor Berger of Milwaukee, form
er representative, having staged a suc
cessful come back after defeat two
years, ago.
Wilson and Hughes Retire.
Shadow Lawn, N. J., Nov. 8. Still
in doubt as to his re-election, President
Wilson retired shortly before 1:30
o'clock this morning.
New York, Nov. 8. Charles E.
Hughes retired for the night at 1:30
a. m. It was the intention of his
managers to have him stay in bed un
til at least 7 o'clock. He was confident
of his election as he said "Good
night."
Willcox Still Confident
New York, Nov. 8. Although Re
publican National Chairman Willcox
refused to issue a formal statement at
12:30 this morning, he said in an in
formal interview that he is satisfied
from returns at hand that "Hughes
will control 310 electoral votes." He
said he has been told over long dis
tance telephone by Chairman Hatfield
that the Buckeye state had gone for
Hughes, but Ohio up to 1 o'clock had
not been put back on the republican
chart in Willcox 's room.
Hughes Carries Cincinnati.
rnlnmhiiH. Ohio. Nov. 8. Democratic
State Chairman Finlcy at 12:15 a. ni.
conceded Hamilton county (Cincinna

by 5,000.
Republican Chairman Hatfield up to
that time had no statement to make on
Ohio returns.
Ohio Sure f or Wilson
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 8. With re
turns in from practically one fourth of
the election precincts in Ohio, scattered
through 72 of the 88 counties in the
state, President Wilson appears certain
to cary Ohio by 50,000. State Chairman
Finle still clings to his frst estimate of
100,000. -
1394 precincts give Wilson 1ZI,570;
Hughes 112,942. This vote however,
contains returns from 350 precincts in
Hamilton county, republican stronghold
and from only fifty precincts in Cleve
land and 15 in Toledo, where Wilson's
heaviest majorities will be rolled up.
Returns fom rual counties are show
ing slight gains for Wilson, but the
bulk of his majority will be rolled up
in Cuyahoga, Fanklin and Lucas coun
ties. Iowa's 50,000 for Hughes.
Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 7. Frag
mentary returns from all sections of
Iowa indicate that Hughes will carry
the state by upwards of 50,000.
W. L. Harding, republican, was run
ning ahead of E. T. Meredith, dem
ocrat, for governor, with an estimated
plurality of 20,000.
14,633. Hughes is polling, according to
indications thus far, the 1912 progres
sive republican combined vote.
In twenty up-state precincts Philipp
and LaFollette are leading their demo
cratic opopnents for the governorship
and senatorship.
In the voting in Milwaukee Wilson
and Hughes are ruuning neck and neck,
with Wilson leading slightlv. nix pre
cincts give Wilson 2,021; Hughes 1,690.
California Is Claimed
By Republicans But
Returns Are Scattering
San Francisco, Nov. 7. That Gover
nor Charles E. Hughes has carried Cali
fornia by a plurality of 100,000 was
claimed at 9 o'clock tonight by Secre
tary MeAtee of the republican state
central committee. He declared that
scattering returns from precincts in all
parts of the state, and comparisons with
the vote cast for the various parties
four years ago indicated this result.
McAfee had declared earlier that Wil
son would probably carry San Francisco
by about 10,000 and that this would be
more than overcome by returns from
Alameda and other counties in this sec
tion. At o'clock MeAtee revised the
estimate and declared his belief that
Hughes would carry Saa Francisco
county.
Simultaneously returns to the United
Press from scattered precincts in all
sections of northern California indicat
ed that Governor Johnson is running
far ahead for United States- senator.
Mr.- MeAtee claimed the election of
Johnson by at least 200,000 and added
that his majority would probably reach
250.000.
Presidential returns at this hour are
so scattering and so incomplete that it
is impossible to base a forecast of the
state result on them.
Returns on the prohibition amend
mcnt were slow in coming in and there
was nothing to indicate its fate.
Goes Dry and For Hughes.
Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 7. Hughes,
Governor Johnson and the dry amend
ments appeared to have carried south
ern California.
This section went dry by 30,000, ac
cording to incomplete figures from all
sections. Hughes was leading Wilson
by 8,000 at 10:30 p. m., with 369 scat
tered county precincts heard from.
Both dry amendments carried in
Ventura, Riverside, Orange, Imperial
and Los Angeles counties.
Governor Johnson was leading Pat
ton by nearly 2 to 1 in the senatorial
race.
California Stays Wet.
San Francisco, Nov. 7, lip. m.
Amendments numbers 1 and 2 the pro
hibition amendments have both been
defeated, according to claims made at
this hour by leaders of the United
California Industries, the organization
which has made the fight in this state
against the two propositions.
Returns from all sections of the state
the wet leaders declared that the plur
ality against the amendments would be
overwhelming. They gave no estimate
of the probable plurality, however.
San Francisco, Nov. 7. Returns at
this hour to the United Press from 746
precincts in 28 counties in all parts of
the state showed Hughes leading Wilson
for president by 4,730.
The totals are: Hughes 20,2111; Wil
son 15,503.
This is about 33 per cent of the vote
of these counties.
Johnson's Majority 200,000.
San Francisco, Nov. 7. Governor
Johnson's headquarters issued a state
ment at 8:30 p. m. tonight claiming
the election of Johnson as united
States senator by 200,000 plurality.
San Francisco, Nov., 7. Republican
committee returns: twenty-four city
precincts, partial, give Hughes 355;
Wilson 30o. For senator: Johnson 402:
Patton 126.
San Francisco, Nov. 7. Sylvester
MeAtee, secretary of the republican
stato committee, at 8:15 declared that
Wilson's plurality m San Francisco
county would not exceed 10,000 and
that he did not believe it would reach
that figure.
Santa Cruz, Cal., Nov. 7. Partinl re
turns from 15 precincts give Hughes
80; Wilson 70; Johnson 90; Patton 60.
Saa Francisco, Nov. 7. Precinct 15,
district 31, complete gave Hughes 100;
Wilson 75; Johnson 128; Patton 40.
New York For Hughes.
New York, Nov. 7. Charles E.
Hughes and practically the republican
state ticket won in New York, accord
ing to indications at 7 o'clock. At the
same time most of New York's news
papers were conceding the 45 electoral
votes for the Empire State to the re
publicans, the democratic, state com
mittee announced it claim that New
York Citv would giVe Wilson 60,000
.over Hughes.
This figure, it is pointed out, is be
low that which republican managers
had figured it was necessary to beat,
by upstate majorities, to carry the
stato for Hughes.
If later returns establish that New
York is in the republican column, the
election apparently hinges on the big
states of the middle west Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio.
This trio of commonwealths, with
New York, had been adjudged tho
"pivotal" states in the election.
Apparently William ('alder, republi
can, has been chosen United States
senator over William McCombs, former
national democratic chairman and Gov
ernor Whitman (rep.) re elected over
Justice Sea bury.
The estimate of the Times is that
Hughes' majority in the stato will be
from 125,000 to 175,000.
The New York Times concedes the
state of New York to Hughes by 175,-
000.
Papers Say Its Hughes.
The Herald. World, Tribune" and
Times agree that Hughes has carried
New York state.
The World concedes the reelection
of Governor Whitman.
The Eagle concedes the election of
Whitman and ('aider. The Standard
Union (rep.) claims New York state
for Hughes by 100,000.
New York. The New York Times,
strong Wilson paper, declares indica
tions are that Hughes' plurality out
side New York City would total 198.000
and that bis plurality for the whole
state would be between 135,000 and
150.000. The Times announced returns
at this time showed Seabury leading

Washington Junior
to End Game Series
The Washington junior high school is
bringing to a successful close its series
of inter-group football games. About 66
boys have been enrolled on five teams
and all have had a chance to play in
several games. Eight games have been
played with at least two remaining.
The teams are divided into light and
heavy weight groups so that the boys
are all playing against boys of about
their same weight. Before any games
were played all boys were taught the
rudiments of the game; they have learn
ed how to take a hard full without a
hurt. The championship of the heavy
section now lies between teams cap
tained by A. Gill and R. Moffett. I.e
hold's team leads in the light section.
After the three junior high schools
have played each other, each school will
take up basketball and develop as many
teams as possible.
Iutra-aclinol athletics is proving very
popular at Washington and the hoys are
going into the games mainly for the
love of the sport. They have played
through the worst weather we have ex
perienced, but are working under diffi
culties as they must take a cold shower
from a hose if they get any at all.
Teams winning championships are
awarded banners which remain in the
school.

fidence Slid invlll Ouurnn.. L
Hughes headquarters. Tho only thine
"irmneu uugnes rroin issuing a
statement was the refusal of the demo
cratic leaders to concede a republican
victory in the nation.
The crowds flocked to- the eighth
floor of the Hotel Astor ,whero Hughes
headquarters are located, and it took a
strong guard of privato detectives to
prevent a rush being made by the
throng seeking to offer congratula
tions. Miss Dorothy Radlcy, a niece of W.
C. Muschcnheim, manager of tho hotel,
presented an enormous bouquet of
flowers to Huehcs. Mrs irmh v...
three daughters and Chnrles Evans
nugnes, jr., joined m the congratula
tions. Red fire was burned on the roof of
the Hotel Astor and two enormous
flags were unfurled in the combined
glare of a battery of searchlights.
Hughes did not order dinner until he
bad heard the result iu New York
state. Then, obviously confident that
the result in ihe nation would be favor
able, he ordered dinner to be served
to the family in the private dining
room of his suite. From the table, as
they dined, they could see returns
flushed on electric sighs in Broadway.
Newspapermen in the hotel corridor
could hear tho laughter and expressions
of delight as they read the bulletins.
At 11:10 o'clock Broadway in front
of the Hotel Astor was jammed with
a hilarious, howling mob of fully 10,000
people rnlling upon Hughes.
A delegation from the r.nniKli,..,,.
club visited the Hughes suite on the
eigni noor or the hotel and requested
Hughes to make an address from the
hotel balcony but up to 11:15 o'clock
he had refused to make any statement
or leave the seclusion of apartments.
