REMOVE CHILD
 TO HOSPITAL AS POLIO SUSPECT
Twenty Months Old Baby of Policeman Rogers Placed
 In Isolation.

The 20-months baby of Police man Terrence J. Rogers is believed to be the victim of poliomyelitis, or 1n- fantile paralysis. It has been taken from the Rogers home at 5O1 Hunting ton road to the isolation hospital where it will remain during the quar- antdne period.
 The child. which Is the first to dis play symptoms of the disease within many days, has been under the care of Dr. Robert Lynch, who yesterday reported the suspicious of himself and colleagues to the board of health.
 It is not known definitely whether the symptoms shown are those of pol iomyelitis or another ailment but the case will be observed closely until all doubt is eliminated.
 Dr. Mcclellan local health officer asserted today that the disease had not been entirely stamped out, and that it is expected sporadic cases would arise in the community for some time.
 The vital statistics for the last month disclose that five deaths are ascribed to the disease. No alarm is felt for the future.

 WILSON IN LEAD
President Told, That He Has
 Slight Majority In f That State.

Concord. N. H., Nov. 9-With re- turns complete but only partially yer flied officially. Wilson led in New Hampshire this morning by 93 votes, according to Secretary of State Edwin c. Bean. Discovery of errors in of ficial reports was a factor in revers- ing the lead which Hughes held last night, he said. Mir. Bean said returns from 120 of the 274 towns and wards still to be verified might further change the result.
 The official figures from 77 of these missing districts have been received but not tabulated. Secretary Bean, in announcing the difference of 93 in favor of Wilson, gave no total figures.
 Totals upon which his preliminary statement was> >based had been reached he explained, by adding to the verified returns newspaper figures from the districts not heard from officially.
 we found several errors" said Secretary Bean. "One clerk in Ward 8, Concord, reported the vote of that precinct as Hughes 225. Wilson Ss,' Our knowledge of local conditions made us doubt this result. 1nvestiga- tion showed it should have been Will son 225, Hughes 88. We are sean ming the returns very closely, realiz- ing that the slightest error may change the result not only in the state but in the nation.''
 The returns are being delivered to the secretary of state by special de- livery mail on the official blanks.
 The Democratic state committee. when Hughes was reported leading last night, was said to have decided to petition for a recount of the vote.

 Congratulations" he concluded.
 At II o'clock the President was given a complete summary of the news to date. Although the word transmitted to MT. Wilson was almost entirely favorable, he reserved judg- ment.
