New York, Nov. 7.-Woodrow Viii
son vii have the unprecedented rec
ord of 42e votes in The electoral col
lege and has a good chance of ad
ding the three votes of Wyoming Il
that total as it will require the off
cial count there to determine whether
Taft or Wilson won.
Colonel Roosevelt will be second
with the electoral vote of Pennsyl
vania, Michigan, South Dakota Wash
ington and Minnesota for total Of
II. President Taft is third. He
surely has the states of Idaho, Yer
mont, and Utah, and the chance oi
getting Wyoming when the count i:
completed. This was made certain
when the revised figures became
available today.
Roosevelt lost Kansas and Illinois
which he had steadily claimed from
the earliest report. But he gained
Minnesota when the vote of the "colr
fields began to come in"
Following is the electoral vote re-
vised upon basis of today's latest re
turns:

- votes.
Wyoming, with three votes, doubt
full.
Wilson did not receive a majority
vote but his plurality will be in exces:
of 2,5OO,0OO and is record-breaking
The exact figures will not be avail
able for several days. In fact, to-
days reports show that the count IL
many states had not been reported e
the various county clerks in hun
dreds of instances and it seemed like
ly that it would be the middle of mex
week at least before authentic semi
official totals would be obtainable.
1t is certain however, that the So
cialists, although they lost their ma
tional asset-Congressman Victo
Berger-made great gains in th'
popular vote. In Illinois they electe'
three members of the legislature AM
owing to the very peculiar complies,
ion of that body where the Democrat
lack twelve votes of majority AM
the Republicans lack 20, with tn
Bull Moose holding down % members
the Socialists may be able to max
trades that will help the party mater
tally. The Socialists leaders were to
day claiming that they had cast up
ward of 100000 votes and there wa
no doubt that they had made goo
showing.
