Two months ago when the Maxwell no-stop car crossed the international boundary at Blaine, British Columbia, it did so in charge of representatives of the Maxwell Motor sales corporation the hitter being engaged in piloting the Wanderer over a proposed military dc-4 t'euse -highway of the Pacific slope. As tourists the occupants of the Maxwell registered themselves and their enr and ns such were permitted the freedom of the king's domains in Vancouver. The following morning the pathfind ers were hauled before the customs of ficials nnd charged with & violation of the customs laws, the claim ' being made, that, inasmuch as the nun-stop car was literally blanketed with letter ing describing the car's remarkable per formances and with the names of .hund reds of cities, towns and hamlets through which it had passed, it con stituted a vehicle for commercial pur- loses and was therefore subject to icavy duty. . Without further ado the travelers were formally charged with a serious violation of the king's commands nnd their car thrown into the king's ware house. Vigorous denials of international misrepresentations, backed up by sub stantial evidence to that effect, avail ed the passengers of the car nothing. Tho sole concession made by customs officials was permission to the tourists return, to the United Hates Ever since then legal battle has been wag ed with the Canadian government which culminated this week in the release of tho car. - .

The former investigation was on the initiative of the public ' service com mission. The corporation, in asking for the rehearing, states it reserves the right to test the correctness,, reasonable ness, and legality of 'the findings ot the commission. Reconsideration ' of " the findings where by no allowunce was made for "going valuo" of the property, which is not to be confused with "good will" as commonly termed, is the special re quest made. The corporation also asks for a reconsideration of the following items: That the value of the working capi tal is 1, 110,000, that no specific allow ance should be included in reproduc tion ot overhead costs, that a determi nation of proper allowance in reproduc tion of overhead costs for interest dur ing construct on be made, that allow ance be made for reproduction and betterment of the property from De cember 31, 1912, to June 30. 1910, that the findings as to the relative vaiue of the franchise be made and note tak en of the company 's Darns and resorts. The company demurs to the finding that "17.3S(i,000 should bo set aside as a 'depreciation annuity. The state ment is made in the findings of the commission that the totnl cost of the property in this the sum of 3,1 1,362 as a pnrt of the cost.

Until the official canvass of the vote in all coun ties in California has been completed, the republican leaders in the state will not abandon hope that 'Charles Evans Hughes may receive at least some, of California's thirteen electoral votes. In the face of returns from all but a few scattering remote precincts which gavo President Wilson a leadof about 4,000, Chester H. Rowell, republican state chairman, and his associates made this statement today. They stated that while they did not deny the general ac curacy of the unofficial counts, the importance of California in determin ing the whole national election made it the part, of wisdom to withhold final judgment. - - ." - - Meantime a veritable political temp est has- been stirred "np in' California republican circles : by the loss of the state to the democrats. ' Chairman Rowell in a' statement' published today declared that Hughes was defeated be cause he had failed to convince a large minority, of the progressives that he was the man who should lead them. 'Incidents' of the trip of Hughes to California,'.', he said, t'wheh he was. prevented . from recognizing Governor Hiram Johnson or. of being recognized by progressive loaders,, was the climax of- the situation here." . . ... Rowell added that Governor Hughes himself was personally blameless in this connection, saving those who man aged his trip here were responsible. "Ihe progressive leaders faithfully supported Hughes," he said, "and suc ceeded in inducing the majority of the progressives to, follow them, but the minority, added to the labor vote and the pacifist women's vote" turned the tide for Wilson." , .
