Vivian of the Republican committee

Democratic victory, but still hopes that
the complete returns win give the state
to Taft. and that some of the candi-
dates for state offices will be success
ful. However, he comedies the election
of former Congressman John F. Shat

of both houses of the legislature to the
Democrats. This insures the selection
of Charles ]. Hughes as United States
senator, Henry NJ. Teller's successor,

Unofficial returns from all but thirty

SECRET WEDDING
CAUSES TRAGEDY
Wall Street Broker Kills His
Mother Because She Disap-
proves of Marriage.
MURDERER KILLS HIMSELF
YOUNG MAN COMMITS SUICIDE
BY INHALING GAS.

New York, Nov. 4.-The revelation
by son to his mother of a secret mar
riage, and parental refusal to be recon
ciled to it, is believed TO have beensthe
impelling cause of a double tragedy in
large uptown apartment house here
today. The victims were Mrs. Rebecca
Veit, wealthy widow, and her only
son, j. Nelson Veit, a Wall street
broker. the circurs stances indicating
that the mother was shot by the son
and that the latter then took his own
life by inhaiing illuminating gas The
bodies of both were discovered today.
Mrs. Veit lay dead in her bed from
bullet wounds in her head and body,
and her son was found on the floor Of
the bath room in his mothers apart
nent, lifeless from asphyxiation. An
aunt of the suicide, Miss Anna Veit.
discovered the bodies when she sought
TO awaken Mrs. Veit. in whose apart
ment she had spent the night.
J. Nelson Veit. who was but q years
old. went to his mothers apartments
last night and dined with her and Miss
Anna Veit. Miss Welt said today that
Welt used the telephone to talk to some
one in the city during the evening. and
finally left to watch the election re-
turns.
The two women talked together for
some time afterward and then retired,
each in separate rooms. Neit evident
~ returned to the apartment some time
during the night, but no one has been
found who saw him enter. Miss Veit
slept undisturbed. and the fact of the
murder and suicide was not learned
until several hours after the double
tragedy had occurred. The police made
the discovery today that Veit, who was
supposed to be single, was married Sc
cretly in October of last year. His
mother, who spent several months each
year in Europe, had only recently re-
turned from France, and the coroner's
theory is that her discovery of her
sons marriage precipitated a quarrel
between them, eliminating in the
tragedy
Late today the police found Mrs. J.
Nielsen Veit widow of the dead man, in
another uptown apartment house,
where she had been living with Welt
for a month past. having been away
from New York all the time since her
marriage with Veit in October. 1907.
Mrs. Welt said that she had not met
her husbands mother and did not know
or not the mother was ever
told of the marriage Her husband,
she said, left early last night and tele-
phoned to her about 1890 o'clock that
he would be home in half an hour. She
did not hear from him again. she said.

Portland, Ore, Nov. 4.-Reports received

Judge Taft a lead of 2s.s17 over Bryan.

They also will slightly increase the size
of the Prohibition, Socialist and indie

The surprises of the election are the
manner in which Taft ran ahead of the
most sanguine predictions-exceeding as
it probably will by some 1900. the esti-
mate made by Secretary Macarthur of the
Republican state central committee and
the smallness of the vote cast for Debs
Conservative prediction estimates place
this at not less than 10000.

The returns from the counties have

Although the complete return from
the election districts OF Salt Lake, coun-
ty have not yet been received. the re-
suits received yesterday simply tend TO
confirm the report that the Repuoii-
can national, judicial. state and county
tickets were Overwhelmingly successful.
The returns so far received show lf,s9-
votes cast for Taft in the county. as
against 1l.727 for Bryan. They also
show 1888 votes for Spry and but s.
$50 for knight. On the basis of the re-
turns already in, the complete vote or
the county should give Taft plurality
of 100 in the county, and should give
Spry a plurality over Knight OF I,SOO.
Mr. knights showing is not up 10 ex-
pectations, which is partially due TO
the heavy vote polled for Judge Street.
1t was thought before election that the
American voters would scratch

the case of every candidate on the state
ticket the scratchingsw less than ex-
pected. Charon polled an exceptionally
heavy vote, the totals TO date showing

Burbidge also ran ahead of his ticket,
