result of the election until later. lie
gave as his reason for not making u
statement at this time hat he had re-
ceived no new Information, and said
he desired to have MS complete returns
as were procurablr before announcing
any conclusions. He therefore de-
clined TO make even Il verbal statement
for publication. However, he has no
doubts as to the reports of tie feat, and,
i'll private conversation with friends
admits that further delay in the pub
lie announcement of his acceptance of
the result is Il mere matter of form.
He is not building any hopes upon later
returns, and evidently in all ways cx-
cept by word Of mouth comedies prac-
tically all the republicans claim.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were in a
cheerful mood Wednesday morning.
He said that he had slept well and was
in excellent health. Referring to his
plans for the immediate future, he cx-
pressed a determination to take good

postpone hat duty for n few days. ! am
not exhausted at ALL" he added but
have had plenty to do for several months
and will take II easy for time"
