HUGHES SHOWS EFFECT
OF STRENUOUS WORK
Neither He Nor Wilcox Have

New York, Nov. 10.--Charies Evans
Hughes took latest returns today with
complete outward calmness, despite
the terrific strain since Tuesday. He
slept late. At $3.50 he had not ordered

changed pleasantries in his old way

The governor, however, plainly show

tions of the past four days. This and
lack of sufficient sleep, together with
the most strenuous campaign ever
made by presidential candidate, had
slightly drawn his features and his

New York, Nov 10.-The political
complexion of the coming house Of rep
resentatives today remained in doubt
with indications that the lower body
might find itself with the balance of
power in the hands of several members
from without the major parties-social-
lists, an independent, progressive and
a protectionist.
It's one certain novelty will be the
first skirted legislator ever in either
national house-Miss Jeanette Rankin,
of Missoula, Montana. She now appears
to have commanding lead over Harry
B. Mitchell, her democratic opopnent.
One estimate of the standing of par
ties in the house is republicans, 217;
democrats, 213; all others, five. From
that it swings to squarely the opposite

official count at its face value. there
was no doubt this afternoon that
Woodrow Wilson and Thomas r.
Marshall had been reelected president
and vice president.
The republican national committee,
however, did not view that unofficial
count as closing what has been in many
respects the most bewildering complex
election in the history of the nation.
A conference of G.. o. p. chieftains
who gathered az the headquarters short
ly before noon .was still in session at
$50 presumably mapping out the states
in which the party intends to institute
proceedings for recount, or possible
court proceedings. A formal state
ment, issued by them with the APP
proval of Governor Hughes, declared
that result of the election could not be
considered until the official count~is
completed. They pointed out that
many of the returns so far tabulated
are unofficial and already many mis-
takes having important results have
boon found. They said they felt they
"owed il to the American people" to
see that an absolutely accurate and
honest count is made. The leaders ex-
pleted by next Monday. Those in the
conference included: Chairman Will
