TEARS COME INTO
 GOV. WILSON'S EYES
Speaks To Students Who
 Congratulate Him
HAD QUIET EVENING
Governor Received Returns At Home And Was Very Modest About Agreeing That He Was
 Elected

Princeton, N. J., November 5.-Witb tears of emotion in his eyes, Governor Wilson stood before the student body of Princeton university as it came cheering and singing to his house to congratulate him on his election
 The governor made brief speech. The students gave the locomotive" yell oI Princeton and sang "Old Nassau
 As he sang the song of the college, his Land uplifted, moving steadily to the characteristic refrain of the song, it was evident that he was deeply moved. Be- side him stood Mrs. Wilson and her three daughters, beaming with happiness
 President John G. Hibben of Princeton university declared tomorrow a holiday in fhe university.
 The demonstration came as a climax to a rather quiet evening at the Wilson home. Though the returns came steadily along, it was hard to convince him that he was elected. He said he preferred to be uitra-eossefva vatiFs iT the matter of returns, but the house full of people thought otherwise and so did the stu dents, who hailed the governor once more IS they used to, President Wilson" In addressing the students, Dr. Wilson said
 Hides Patch
 Gentlemen, l am sincerely glad to see you l got up on a chair so tffat you could not see the patch on my head but when l see this great gathering around me 1t carries me back to many happy and laborious days and I can't help think ing this evening that something has only just begun which you men will have a great part in carrying forward There lore, my wish tonight is to say to you what would say to myself The lesson or this election is lesson of responsi- bility.
 T believe very heartily that a great cause has triumphed; that the American people know what they want and that when they know what they want, they nave the men and the purpose to obtain 1t; but that they can't get what they want through the activities of a single man or a single session of congress or A single group of men. They must get by a long tedious effort, in which this gen. eration will take an important part. l feel like summoning you fellows to do what you have more than generously done by voting for me and believing in me. l summon you for the rest of your lives to work to set this government for ward by processes of justice, equity and fairness.
 No Feeling of Triumph
 T myself have no feeling of triumph tonight. l have a feeling of solemn re- sponsfbility. I know that a great task lies ahead of the men associated with me as we'll as myself. feel as I were stand ing among my younger comrades tonight 1 thank you for the inspiration and ex- hilaration that I receive from your sup port.''
 Cheer after cheer rang forth when the governor finished speaking and the stu dents crowded forward to shake hands. When the governor went back into the house, he found the following telegram from Governor Marshall:
 T salute you, my chieftain, in all love and loyalty"
 Governor Wilson replied:
 ''Warmest thanks for your generous tel egram Your part in the campaign was a great strength. Now for the deep pleasure of close association in a great work of national service"
 The governor and Mrs. Wilson enter tained their guests at a buffet luncheon just before midnight. The governor re- tired at 1245 o'clock saying he was go- ing to sleep until noon tomorrow Up to the hour of retiring no message from either President Taft or Colonel Roose- welt had reached him.
