New York, Nov. s. The member
will choose the next president OF the
United States was still in doubt when
the official counters In Maryland aban-
doned their task for the night.
According to the best information
obtainabe, the proportionate number
Of Republican and Democratic cleo
tors was determined by a division Of
Maryland's eight votes. Half Of the
city of Baltimore and two of the 23
counties outside that city are still TO
be counted, but there Ia strong indi-
cation that the states vote will be
split. In any event, the margin of
victory will be so small that the state
was claimed tonight by the leaders of
both parties. Though the splitting of
a states electoval college vote Is I'M
usual, IL will be recalled that In 1904
Maryland chose one Republican and
seven Democratic electors.
Missouri appears to be safely for
Taft, 10 whom the latest returns give
a plurality Of 800, with the prospects
that the few final districts will double
or treble the figures

ing Maryland out Of consideration to
be split between him and Bryan, the
figures show $40 Republican electors

an accurate idea OF what that party

Governor Charles Il. Hughes was re-
elected governor of New York by H.
1850. The returns as between presi-
dent and governor indicate heavy
splitting of tickets. The proportion of
scratched ballots was about the same
in the upstate districts as in Greater
New York.

been elected by about 25, 600 plurality,

Bryan plurality of 1900. The

Seattle, Nov. S. - Returns from
every county in the state place TAFT 8
plurality over Bryan at 46, 1858. The
presidential vote on the Socialist, Pro
hibition and Independence party tick
cts was inconsiderabse and fell far be-
hind the predictions made by their
leading supporters. Cosgrove's plural
ity over John Pattison is figured at
AZ, 166.
The Republicans have 81 state seDa
tors and 81 state representatives, CIV
ing them a majority of n on joint bal
lot, which insures the election OF con-
gresham Wesley l.. Jones to the
United States senate to succeed Lew
Ankeny.
Returns indicate that both the two
proposed constitutional amendments
have failed of passage, the tax amend
ment being overwhelmingly defeated
and the eminent domain amendment
being defeated by smaller majority.
The Hisgen vote in the state was
practically negligible, but Chain, the
Prohibitionist, polled respectable
vote. AS indicated, the Socialist vote
approximates ~, 900. Only one "stick-
