Gates he also may have received the
nations popular vote.
California was the pivotal state. Its
Is electoral votes, finally added to the
Wilson column, gave him a total OF
272, more than the necessary major
ity of 2G6 in the electoral college.
To this may be added New Hamp-
shire.
Apparently it is no longer a ques-
ton of victory for Wilson, but ques-
ton of how large will be his electoral
college lead.
Hughes Issues No Statement.
With the democrats over the ma
ton planning to celebrate victory, the
republican national committee still de-
clines to concede Wilson's election.
Lawrence Green, secretary to
Charles E. Hughes, said in response to
Hughes would not send congratula-
tons to President Wilson today.

Mr.. Hughes himself declined to
make any comment upon the election
results. He arose about 8 a. m. and
after reading the news went for an
automobile ride. He apparently was
in cheerful spirits.
Election Not Conceded.
Chairman w. B. Wilcox, refusing
to concede the election of President
Wilson, said in a formal statement is
sued after conference with other
republican campaign managers that
the result still depends on the vote
OF few close states and that their
returns thus far announced are in most
states unofficial and may be changed
by the official counts.
The result still depends upon the

Where the vote is as close as that
reported in several states it may be-
that material changes will result from

country to take all necessary steps to
see that an exact, honest count of the
votes is made. When the current
seemed to be running against Mr.. Will
son on Wednesday the democratic
managers announced their intention
to demand recount in every close
state.
"All we desire is to make sure that
the vote is counted as cast"
Mr.. Wilcox added verbally that it
was superhumanly impossible for the
preliminary count to conform exactly
with the official count.

recent enactment of federal legislation
permitting the towns of those portions
of Montgomery and Prince Georges
Immediately adjoining the Dis
trict of Columbia to connect their sewer
systems with the trunk lines or inter-
ceptors of the District has simplifed
the work of the Washington suburban
sanitary commission, which was created
by the last legislature to report to the
next legislature upon the question of
drainage sewerage and water condi-
tons for the territory referred to.
The Maryland act specified three COM
missioners, one appointed by the gov
ernor, one by the county commissioners
Tor Montgomery county and one by
the county commissioners for Prince
Georges county.
Gov: Harrington appointed ]. Will
liam Bogley Of Friendship Heights, this
county. William T. S. Curtis of Chevy
Chase was the appointee Of the county
sioners for Prince Georges county
named T. Howard Duckett of Bladens-
burg.
The federal act provides that the only
cost to the people of Maryland will
be the actual cost of pumping and hand
ling such sewage as may flow from Mary
land into the interceptors
Inc commission is now engaged in max
ing an examination of the general fea-
lures OF the water supply and recently
held conference with the Commission
