SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Oct. 10.-ReturnS in today'S s special election on cOnStitu- tional amendments up to 11:3O tonight confirm carli- CT indications that woman s suffrage has been defeated decisively and that the initi- ative, referendum and re- call, which includes the re- call of the judiciary have been emphatically endorsed by the voters of the state.
 The enlargement of the powers of the state railroad commission will also un- doubtedly carry, though by a smaller majority. The vote in favor of placing in the nanuS or the pcOpIc Jllc recall, including the recall of the judges, was some what amazing even to the friends of that proposed amendment. San Francis co, which voted almost two to one against suffrage, fav- ored the recall more than four to one, while the initi- ative and referendum were given almost equally as large majorities. Two-thirds of the state has been heard from. The returns indicate that all the other 21 amend mentS voted on carried.
