MAY YET
GIVE WILSON MAJORITY
Decision of Appellate Court
Apparently ENSURES State
for Democrats.

Los ANGELES, Cal. November d.
A decision of the appellate court appar-
emily insures a majority for Woodrow
Wilson in California of about 150 votes
and nearly all, if not all. of the electors
sent by the state to the electoral col
lege.
The decision was against the method
of the board of supervisors in canvassing
the returns of Los Angeles county. The
court he'd that the taliies should be
counted and not the certifications. At
least one precinct, that of Pasadena =
No. 4-will be virtually thrown out by
the decision, with a loss Of 103 plurality
for all Roosevelt electors except Wal
lace.
Ordered to Canvass Returns.
A peremptory writ Of mandamus was
ordered issued directing the board OF
supervisors to canvass the election re-
turns III accordance with the conclusions
set forth in the opinion.
The opinion sustained the democrats
in all except one point. 1t was an impor-
tant point, inasmuch as decision in ia
vor Of the democratic contention would
have assured the election Of the entire
thirteen Wilson electors in the state. This
involved the returns of thirty-five pre-
cincts which the democrats petitioned to
be rejected entirely because the sealed
envelopes had been opened so that cor
rections in the certitication could be made
by election boards.
The court held that the breaking of the
sealed envelopes prior to the time for
opening them in public was contrary to
law but did not constitute such an ir-
regularity as to require that the returns
be entirely rejected.
In these precincts Roosevelt had plu-
rality of more than 1850.
CONSERVATION Among Progressives.
The decision caused CONSERVATION
among the progressive leaders and the
members Of the canvassing board because
of the brief time remaining. for the ANAL
certification and forwarding of the re-
turns to the secretary OF state, failure
