TOTAL COUNTY VOTE
HAS BEEN REPORTED
Last FIVE Precincts Overwhelmingly
Democratic-Ttotal Shows Slight
Increase Over 2 Years Ago.

With the total vote Of Tuesday S
election in Cameron county IN, the
figures show that 3,214 voters ex-
ercised their right of suffrage at the
polls. Two years ago the vote in
Cameron county on the gubernatorial
election was 3,264 votes. On the
face of it, this would indicate that
fewer votes were cast this year; but
since that time the upper portion of
the county was given to Willacy
county when that county was or
ganized. The transfer carried with
it nearly 200 votes Therefore, the
election this year really drew a
larger vote.
Returns from the five missing pre-
cincts, Point Isabel, San Rafael, Las
Yescas, La Encantada and Santa
Maria, were reported yesterday The
interesting offices from these pre-
cinct follow:

By Associated Press.


Princeton, n. j., Nov. 7.-Presi-
dent-elect Wilson has not decided on
the personnel of his cabinet and in
tends to keep his mind open on this
subject for long time before taking
office. Mr.. Wilson made this an
nouncement today to put an end, if
possible, to the gossip about cabinet
appointments.
Callers came to the Wilson home
in a steady stream today and the gov
ernor had busy time also with cor
respondence.
Probably he will leave for vaca-
tion within fortnight. 1t is sug-
gested that he will take a sea trip,
but the president-elect said as he
wished to have a real vacation and
did not intend to make his plans
known until the day before he starts.

Midnight - Idaho Probaly Demo
cratic-Wilson, Not Believed to
Have Majority of Popular Vote.
By Associated Press.


New York, Nov. 7.-Uncertainty
as 10 the electoral choice in Illinois
and California, as developed by be-
lated returns, was the chief point OF
interest in the election today. To-
night it is definite established that
Wilson carried Illinois, his plurality
over Roosevelt exceeding $4,000
Returns from Minnesota confirm
ed the claim of Roosevelt to the
twelve electoral votes of that state
In New Hampshire while Wilson
carried the state, control of the leg
islature on joint ballot will remain
republican, insuring the selection of
a republican United States senator.
The general returns up to mid
night gave Wilson 402 electoral
votes, Roosevelt II Taft 8.
Roosevelt Leads in California.
In California at midnight wilson
was leading by 526 votes, but later a
correction in Los Angeles figures
wiped out Wilson's narrow lead and
put Roosevelt ahead by 130 votes,
with 4,257 out of 4,372 precincts
heard from. Most of the precincts
yet to be heard from are democratic
strongholds.
Wyoming Still Close.
In Wyoming, up to midnight, 80
precincts out of 472 gave Wilson
1851, Taft 10,32S and Roosevelt
1924.
On the strength of incomplete re-
turns as to the popular vote, an es-
innate is made tonight that Wilson
will not have majority of all votes
cast. Reports indicate that the com
bined vote of Roosevelt and Taft will
be approximately a million more
than the Wilson vote.
