New Vork, Nov. fl. Charge that the
republican election officials in New
Hampshire wet unfair in the vote
count there, by which they gave th
state, to Hughes by 101 votes, wait
made today by Henry Morganthau,
chairman of tho democratic) finance
committee.
" Wo will demand and get a recount
there," he said, "It will be very queer
if we cannot gain 150 to 200 votes in
this way. The republicans control the
election machinery and it is only nat
ural that a recount would give us a
gain under such circumstances. These
officials have given us no vote we
were not entitled to and they have
taken a large number of votes away
from ui that we are entitled to."
Morganthau 'b chargo was in answer
to a statement by (leorge W. 1'erkins.

"This announcement may come with
in the hour," said Willcox. "However,
it is entirely possible it mav be delaed
until around midnight. The situation
looks more and more favorable for Mr.
Hughes. I feel certain both California
and Minnesota will be added to the
Hughes column."
