LONDON, Nov 1O.-London is in

Judgment on who won the American
presidential election and is waiting
anxiously for final official returns.
London thought it knew Wednes-

unqualifedly that Wilson had been

The Exchange Telegraph Company,

announce the election of Hughes.
When the news that Hughes had

shots-one was "Spineless Idealist."
Now that things are doubtful edi-
torial opinion is suspended Crowds
have focked around the bulletin
boards since Tuesday.
Before the election, all England,
newspapers, officials and plain citi-
zens were interested to an almost un-
believable degree but held aloof.
There seemed TO be a gentlemen's
agreement not to take sides even in
opinion in the domestic affairs of the
United States.

The newspapers with but very few oS
ceptions withheld opinion. The British
tendency was probably towards Wilson.
lts basis was in the belief that German
oiicialdom was against him. Then
again the attitude of Hughes on the
more or less troublesome Anglo-Ameri
can questions was not specifically de-
fined, whereas the public knew just what
to expect from Wilson. On the whole,
however, the question was regarded as
