HOPING AGAINST HOPE.
Estee Does Not COncede His
Defeat.
He Thinks He May Yet Pull
Through.
Budd, However, Still Has Plural
ity of 2100.
1t May Require Full Returns to Decide
tho Result, but There seems
Little Doubt of Budd's
Election.
BY the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 8.-Although the
complete returns from 1868 precincts in
the state have brought Budd's plurality
down to 2l33, it is not believed that in
the remaining GIG precincts that Estee
can overcome this lead. Estee himself
had not yet lost confidence and expresses
the belief that be will beat Budd
by few hundred votes when the entire
state has been heard from. In expla-
nation of Estee's apparent defeat, it is
published here that Budd's success,
especially in San Francisco, was due to
the backing OF the A. P. A., which or.
gsnization is said to have worked
quietly for him.
As to the other state offices there
seems to be no reason to change the es-
innate of those elected which has al.
ready been published, with the excep-
ton of railroad com misc 'Nner in the
First, where Beckman, Repu blicsn, on
incomplete returns is leading La Rue by
$50 votes. Two thirds of the districts
are yet to be heard from.
For Supreme court jndges, long term,
Henehaw, Republican. received the
largest vote, polling 1922, with TEN.
pie. Democrat, second with S5,697.
1t is now certain that the Democrats
only succeeded in electing one congress-
man, Mcguire, from the Fourth district
EsTEE's HoFEs.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 8.-M. NJ. Estee
visited the rooms of the Republican
state committee today. He appeared
cheerful and said:
"There are still $4,000 votes to be
counted and Budd is now 2700 ahead.
II l continue TO gain at the same ratio
as have been doing, shall beat him
by 800 to 800"
STILL CLAIMED FOR BUDD.
At the Democratic headquarters
Chairman Gould granted that Estee
would come up from Tehachepi with
1900 but would have to meet Budd in
San Francisco with 1000. On this cal
culation he claimed the state for Budd
by 4500.
