ALAMEDA'S BIG CHANGE

SAN FRANCISCO, November 5.-With
225, ,775 votes counted, Mckinley and Ho-
bart have about 1900 majority in Califor-
MIA While the precincts yet to be heard
from may reduce these figures slightly, tho
republican majority will not be less than
1900. giving the Bryan ticket the benefit of
the doubt wherever it seems reasonable.
The republican state committee figures out
the majority for Mckinley In the state at

received by the committee in all instances

difference in the returns. that giving Bryan

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
LOUISVILLE, KY, November 5.-While
it will require an official count to settle the
result beyond all doubt. all Indications
point to the fact that the republicans will
carry the state by between LOGO and 1,!O
votes.
Fraud Is claimed by the republicans in
the first district and by the democrats In
the eleventh district. Full returns not
yet in from the latter district, but as the
missing precincts gave Bradley big ma
jcrity, there is 70 reason tc believe that
they will desert Mckinley.
The sensation of the morning is that
Breckinridge, defeated by Settle in the
seventh, will contest, on the ground that
Owen county's vote has been tampered
with. owen is Settles home county, and
the returns We're held back.
Dick Ernst republican. defeated by Berry
In the sixth, will contest, on the ground of
fraud by the election officers In kenton
and Campbell counties.
Hunter, republican incumbent in the
third, and defeated by Rhea will contest
similar grounds.
The republicans arc wild with excite
ment. and claim the silver men have tam
pered with the returns IN some Of their
strongholds. thus making the race SO close.
LOUISVILLE. Ky. November 5.-With
two whole counties, Leslie and Knott, and
sixteen precincts missing. Bryan has plu-
rality of 21S votes in the state, but many of
the returns unofficial, and 1t seems
highly probable that the state board will
have to decide the result of the two miss
ing counties. Leslie is republican, and gave
Bradley 116 majority. Knott county is
democratic. and gave Hardin democrat
over Bradley last year $40 majority. The
missing precincts are distributed about
equally among democratic and republican
counties. Three missing precincts in Bel
laire are strongly republican; two precincts
In Clare are likewise; one in Letcher Is re-
publican, one in Grant is safely democratic,
one in Pendleton and three in Hen

CHICAGO, November 5.-Chairnan Jones

National Committeeman Campau and H.

day. Committeeman Campau said after
ward that the situation had not materially

Secretary Hosford stated this afternoon
that the outlook was not sc bright. Bry-'
ans election depended On the result in
Indiana and West Virginia, there being no
further hope Of Michigan. He admitted
that the situation in West Virginia looked
rather bad. but still felt confident that Bry-
an had carried Indiana.
LINCOLN, Neb., November 5.-Mr Br,--
ans adyices from Senator Jones are still
to the effect that the result OF the election
in several of the states is undetermined
These states are necessary to the election
of either candidate, and the position is talk
en- that McKinley's election cannot be con-
ceded until the outcome is absolutely
known.
Mr.. Bryan is not oblivious to the fact
that probabilities are strongly against him.
but he is firmly decided to give no utter
ance TO this effect until the count shall
make it certain that he is defeated.

tack of grip to be around the house.
Maj. Mck1nley's friends. who have mar
Veled at the work he has done and the
endurance he has shown for the past five
months, have been steadfastly urging him

relatives In Chicago for an after-election
visit, and has decided upon the advice of
Mrs. MckinleyS physician to take a run
up to Cleveland, where he will be the guest
OF Col; and Mrs; Myron T. Herrick for
several days. What day he will leave
has not been decided upon, but it will
probably be the first of next week 1t Is
not Thought that he will accept any other
invitations at this time, east or west. and
his visit to Cleveland will be quiet one
for rest for himself.

the latest returns and his private dis

At 1:30 Major Mckinley, accompanied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph H. Smith, took his
one-horse surrey for q drive to his moth
er's home. He wore his heavy ulster but
toned to the chin. The group OH the walk

he bowed acknowledgment. Some Of the

the aged mother and for some of Mrs Nc
kinleys sick friends.

understood. however. that his path is liable
to be strewn with difficulties. 1t is obvious
that the Senate will be very close on the

Must Await Full Returns.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., November 5.-Re-
turns to the democratic committee show a
plurality for Bryan electors of 505 and for
Osborn for Congress, $50 votes. Districts to
be heard from are Big Horn county. Star
Valley, Jackson Hole, Uintah county and
several precincts in johnson county. The
estimated democratic majority in these dis
trictS is 300, and the democratic committee
claim the state by 500.
The republican state committee has full
returns from eleven counties, and estimated
absolute election of one elector and prob
ably the election Of two by pluralities of
go: also the election of CONGRESSMAN and
separate Judge by 400.
The committee estimate that the state
legislature will be AZ republicans and IA
democrats on joint ballot.
Big Horn county, from which no returns
have been received, has been recently or
ganized, and has been settleI mainly with
in the past two years, and its vote is diff
cult to estimate. A conservative view Of
the situation in the state Is that the plural
tiles for electoral and state ticket will not
exceed go votes, and that complete returns
must be received from the entire state to
determine which party will have this plu-
rality.

LOUISVILLE. KY. November 5-12:30
p.m.-On the strength of added returns from
the eleventh district, Chairman Roberts of
the republican committee is now conf
IDENTIFY claiming the state for Mckinley by
over 1900. Chairman Sommers is likewise
claiming it. but gives no figures.
The Evening Times makes the most con-
servative estimate yet offered, which gives
the state to Mckinley by about LOCO. This
estimate is with only nine precincts miss
ing. six of which are in republican counties
and three in democratic counties. The two
missing counties, Leslie and Knott, are
literally estimated. Leslie is strongly re-
publican, but the Times estimates it in its
total below Bradley's majority last year.
Knott county, which is democratic, the
Times gives Bryan by the ante-election
claim of Chairman Sommers, which is ex-
ceSSive.
There has been much betting on the re-
suit at even money on Bryan but the
sporting fever is dying on the strength of
additional returns. The bettors having good
sums on Mckinley wanted to sell out for 30
cents on the dollar, but have picked up
courage, and offers to sell are heard no
more.
CINCINNATI. Ohio, November "a
Louisville, KY, special to the Times-Star
saws:
OF the missing counties and precincts In
Kentucky. Leslie is a republican strong
hold, giving usually 700 majority 1t Is ex-
pected TO give 100 majority for Mckinley.
Knott is democratic. The best hope from
II by the silver managers Is HOO for Bryan.
OF the remaining sixteen missing precincts,
seven are in counties that have gone for
Bryan and nine in counties that have gone
for Mckinley. Taking the ante-election
claims of both sides, if democratic esti-
mates pan out Mckinley will have a ma
jority of only 100. If the republican esti-
mates are realized Mckinley will have a
majority of 500.
The silver managers hope for large gains
to save them. They allege at this hour
that they have mail returns from Leslie,
which Is inaccessible by wire greatly re-
Kentucky to Bryan.
The result is in doubt, but republicans
are freely betting their money on a ma.
jority for Nc kinley
