ROOSEVELT HAS 89 VOTES
 AND TAFT SEEMS SURE OF F
Woman Suffrage Carried in Four States. The Complexion of the Next Senate is Yet Unknown, and the Popular Vote Has Not
 Yet been Tabulated

New York, Nov 6-Only the un- certainty of a few close states, whose electoral vote in no way can effect the election of Wilson and Marshall speculation over the popular vote .t
 h.'ca presidential candidates, and the compIextion of the legislatures that will name United States sena- tors, held interest tonight in the final returns of yesterdays general cleo tion.
 The total of the Republican elec.or al column apparently was fixed at the -welve votes of Idaho, Utah and Yer mont; but the footing of the Wills M and Roosevelt columns fiickered alter nately during the afternoon and night as late returns from Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, South Dakota and Wyom ing gave indications of changing re- suits accepted last night.
 Wilson Sure of 378 Electoral Votes
 On the basis of the last returns early in the evening, with the vote of Iowa. Kansas, Minnesota, South D;l- kota and Wyoming placed in the
 doubtful column, President-elec: Wilson had BIS certain votes in the electoral college, Roosevelt S9 and Taft 12 All of the doubtful states except South Dakota gave more Or less certain indications during toe night of landing in the list of Wilson electoral votes, while South Dakota showed a general trend toward Roose- welt.

 Assertions were made today from several quarters where an effort ha heen made to gather preliminary poo- ular vote figures, that Governor Will son had not secured majority of tho votes cast throughout the country Estimates ranged from small majot- Ity of all votes, to figures nearly i 100000 below a majority The pop l. ar votes, however, would in no way affect his election, or his comple+e control of the electoral college.
 New Hampshire for Wilson Sure.
 There were many surprises throug1 put the day and night Early in the lay New Hampshire, first credited u Taft, went into the Wilson column i with majority of about 1,5OO for he Democratic candidate. Returns frorl daho which came in scattering from carly in the day, favored Wilson so trongly as to create the belief that IT would give him it's electorla vote, but | ater returns made it the third state | o go certainly for President Taft.
 Illinois and Kansas Yet Doubtful.
 Roosevelt forces, watching the re- llrns, suffered a scare as the down tate Democratic districts reduced Coi | mel Roosevelt's plurality from Cook | ounty until it promised to disappear. ate in the day a complete report | rom Cook county swelled the Rooss- | cit majority in the state and seeming | y made certain the control of Hi. | lois' 29 votes by the Progressive ca.,-
