Roosevelt Apparently Has Plurality But Demo-
 crats May Contest
IDAHO AGAIN IN
 DOUBTFUL LIST
Possibility of Divided Electoral Vote Is RecOgnized-N Unofficial Vote in Illionis l6,I05-Wil-
 sons Iowa Lead Increases

san Francisco, November s.-Tabulation oe corrected returns from virtually ali Of the states county seats show that in California Roosevelt has plurality os the popular vote over Wilson, that re- turns from the 1g remote precincts still ml eported are not likely to oyerturn The latest figures give:
 Roosevelt 2Sl,s69.
 Wilson 2s0,6S
 Roosevelts plurality 75l. 1 Il is likely that the vote of many of the missing precincts will not be known until the official canvass is made 1 Not all of the Roosevelt electors may have won. The name of Lieutenant Gov eraoI Albert J. Wallace. which headed the Roosevelt electoral ticket. was scratched by many voters. presumably be- cause of his course in committing tho oeath sentences of murderers while acting governor.
 In many instances it is stated Wallaees name was actually penciled off the bal lo1. Attorney General Webb has rem dered an opinion that such ballots were ! thereby invalidated.
 May Challenge Vote Acting upon this opinion. the demo- cratic managers have announced that ir the final returns leave Roosevelt still in the lead. they will challenge the vote nf Los Angeles county. where the pro- gr@ssivos rolled up their heaviest plurality and where Wallace ran behind the other Roosevelt electors.
 Wilson and Roosevelt alternated in the lead early in the day when the distant mountain precincts began struggle in. <By 1 D. in. Roosevelts margin had increased to nearly l0G0, and it became almost cer- tain that she unreported precincts in counties carried by the democratic ticket would not overcome this lead. The final disposition of californias l 13 electoral votes may be decided by the courts. Democratic managers In the anuouncemeut sf the determination to challenge the Los Angeles county vote in the event of Roosevelt vic tory, said their action would be based not only on the alleged counting of progressive ballots invalidated by pen oil scratches but on all alleged errors and Irregularities of republican judges Of the election In excluding valid dem ocratic ballots
 Reward for Fraud Conviction
 James D. Phelan and Rudolph spreckels today authorized the demo- cratic state committee to offer re- ward of s5000 to any one supplying evidence leading to the conviction of any person on q charge of perpetrating alectfon frauds According to the terms of the offer. this reward will be paid for each conviction.
 The wide discrepancy Tn the complete returns from Los Angeles county are compared with earlier returns--a change that wiped out an apparent lead of 600 votes for Wilson ia the state--was due in part to a switch in the method of tallying the popular vote. At the outset the record was made up from the vote cast for the head of ----s---- z-7s-s-e---->7--

Princeton, \. j., has become one of the most important points on the map since the election of Woodrow Wilson to the presidency. Hundreds of news paper men from all over the country are stationed in the old college town to report the latest doings of the Presi- dent-elect. Princeton students are still celebrating the election of it's one time president to the presidency of the United States, and the day after cleo ton the entire faculty of Princeton university called at the Princeton home to present their congratulations
 The photographs herewith show the President-el as he appeared the day after his election, in company with William McCombs, the chairman of the national democratic committee, and group of newspaper eorre- spondents awaiting the arrival of the governor.

 Occupies Wilson's Room

Princeton, N J., November s.-Presi- dent-elect Woodrow Wilson intends to follow out his listening policy for sev- eral weeks before making any announce ments of important matters of state.
 The President-elect said tonight he had decided to go away next week on va cation of three or four weeks, during which time he would be out of reach of political callers. The place where he will go will be announced later. It is probable he will make known very little about the policy of his future adminis- tration before January l.
 Governor Wilson said he was in need of rest and intended to get himself in good physical condition for the session of the New Jersey legislature beginning the first of the year, when he will carry the twofold burden of a legislative pro- gramme for the state and the preliminary arrangements for his presidential ad- ministration.

 Seats Are Doubtful Yet

Washington, November s.-"The reor- ganization of the Senate by the demo- orats on the fourth of March is assured ' said Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia to- day. in summing up the status of the Senate as result of the election.
 Senator smith was among the first of Washington. and he spoke with assurance due largely to his familiarity with the situation on account of his connection with senatorial branch of the campaign work. He spent month in Chicago with Senator Reed of Missouri, in looking after the legislatures in the various states.

An incident of the day at the Wilson home was the parting of the President elect with Capt. "Bnr' Mcdonald, Texas ranger and bodyguard of the last few weeks

 The captain left for Kewana. Tex. near Ft. Worth, where he has a big ranch.
 The President-elect took a seven mile walk again today around the Princeton battlefield of revolutionary days.
 some time ago. he said to the cor respondents who accompanied him. there was a sign which read: This is the spot where General Mercer died.' One of the university students appar- entity didn't like the idea and put the sign over his bed. So they put up those cannon balls instead to mark the spot.'

 Governor Wilson likes to chat with Mrs. Ricketts because, though far ad- vanced in years, he said she retains a remarkable viewpoint on politics ana current affairs.
 Several telegrams came today, one of them from Eugene Chain, the pro- hibition candidate for the presidency. He wired his congratulations and add cd T move we make it unanimous"
 John Wanamaker of Philadelphia also sent his respects.

Test Will Come Early

The test as to the political utilization of the progressives in the Senate probably will come soon after the converting of Congress on the first Monday in Decem- Der
 ''If could have my way" said Senator Oliver of Pennsylvania, one of the fore most of stand pat republicans, "I would determine the question at the earliest mo- rnent. With the vice president no longer with us, it will become imperative to elect a President pro tempore of the Senate as soon as we convene. As is generally known the progressives refuse to support Senctor Gallinger for president pro tem of the last session. 1 would call another caucus to name candidate for this of flee, and would make his support a test of party loyalty on the part of senators claiming to tbe republican"
 If the course suggested by MT. Oliver should be pursued it might result in the early recognition of third party in the the Senate. It is claimed, however, by Seiator Gallinger's friends that the pro- gressive opposition to him had largely died away before the close of the last ses- sion.
 The democratic senators are most anx- ious to obtain such majority of their own membership in the Senate as 10 en- tirely avoid the necessity of any depeod- ence upon progressives after March 4.

Smiths Summary


 the legislatures in the various states.
 Smiths Summary
 We have 30 democrats who hold over and five who already have been elected. making S. said the senator we have democrats from Georgia. Texas. Kansas. Arkansas, Montana. Oklahoma, North Carolina, south Carolina. and two from Colorado who have been elected in the primaries. The democrats undoubtedly have carried the legislatures of New Jer- sey and Delaware, which insures demo- cratic senators from each of those states. AdYices from Nevada and oregon, clear ly indicate the election of democratie candidates for the Senate. This would give A democrats or positive majority of the Senate"
 Mr. Smith was inclined to mako ad- ditional claims upon states which are considered doubtful He said that ae- cording to his advices the democra ts will have a majority of the legislature of Tennessee, which would insure a democratic senator from that state.
 He also counted on further democrat fE dSStSHAthS itOui iiitiAbiS anu Sbiilt FA the other states which still are open to doubt.
 We can rely safely on fifty demo- crats in the next senate he declared.
 Senator Smiths summary of demo- cratic control in the senate Is substan- tially in accord with the general view taken at the senate wing of the cap- itol In other quarters an impartial survey of the returns gives totals up to the present time as follows:
 Democrats AS. republicans 41, doubt ful 7 total membership 96.
 Tho seven seats still elassed as doubt ful are two from Illinois and one each from Michigan, oregon. South Dakota, Tennessee and Wyoming.
 Without any of these seven doubtful seats, the present assured democratic strength of AS is half of the total mem- bership, and Is sufficient with the vote Of Vice President Marshall on tie to control the senate.

to have been saved an immense sum of

however, this point of apparent security
from disastrous experience has been
feached only by q narrow margin. The
