PRESIDENT GETS LATEST RETURNS
 AT JERSEY HOME

Long Branch, N. J., Nov 9-Presi- dent Wilson got up shortly before 8 o'clock this morning to hear again that the outcome of Tuesdays election was not yet certain. He read the morning newspapers before breakfast and intended to take an automobile ride later. MT. Wilson's first ques- tions had to do with California, Min nesota, New Mexico and North Da- kota, the states on which the results largely hinged. When informed that definite word had been received from none of those states, he realized that he would have to wait longer for the final outcome. ..f
 It was taken for granted among off, cials here that there would be recounts in several of the very close states, and it was believed that weeks might pass before questions involved are settled.
 The President remained in a cheer full mood and believed that the result would eventually favor him. As the returns began coming in this morn ing at the executive offices they were promptly telephoned to Shadow Lawn.
 The President will leave from At lantic Highlands on the yacht May flower late today or tonight on his way to Rhinecliffe, N. Y., where he is to take a train at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning for Williamstown, Mass. There he will net as godfather for the child of Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, his daughter, tomorrow

.CLOSENESS OF VOTE RECALLS
 DAYS OF 1876
Memorable Hayes : Tllden Battle Discussed By
 Older Politicians

Washington, Dec. 9-The Tilden- Hayes election controversy of lS1o was recalled yesterday by Democrats who fear a deadlock in the contest between Hughes and Wilson.
 In the election of 1876, Tilden car- ried Connecticut. New York, New Jer- sey, Delaware, Maryland, Indiana ana Missouri, as we'll as 10 Southern states, whose votes were not Tn dls- pute. One hundred and eighty-four electoral votes were secured for hlm and 1855 constituted a majority. One additional electoral vote wuld have made him President, and 1t seemed possible that one could be had from Oregon, where three Republican elect ors undoubtedly had been chosen, but one was considered ineligible under the law, and the Democratic governor had appointed in his stead the next candidate on the poll, Democrat, and given him his certificate.
 In the South 19 electoral votes were in dispute. In Louisiana Republican board had turned Democratic into a Republican majority by rejecting the votes of precincts in which it declared fraud or intimidation to have been used. Certificates had been given to the Republican electors. In Florida ! lthe vote had been close. In South ohrolina Federal troops guarded the polls.
 Double Returns.
 There were double returns from Florida. Louisiana and South Caro- linas One vote out of twenty in dis pute-the one from Oregon-would have, given the presidency to the Democrats. The control of the gov ernment depended upon the action of the Houses of Congress when they met in joint session to count the votes. The House was Democyatic; the Sen ate Republican. They could not agree, but listened to propositions of com promise, and it was agreed that an electoral commission should be con- stituted consisting of five members of the House, three Democrats and two Republicans five members of the Sen ate, threes Republicans and two Dem ocrats; two Democrats and two Re pubhcans from the Supreme Court bench of the United States and an ad- dftional Justice from the same court, elected by the four Justices named in the bill.
 Hayes was chosen; Ti1den turned down. A
 Instis story of this controversy in the History of the American People" :" ; Woodrow Wilson said, s < Wilson's Summary.
 Such commission was undoubt- edlyy an extra-constitutiona body, and it's decisions disappointed the country of any display of Judicial impartiality it may have hoped from it. MT. Jus tice Bradley, who was chosen by his fellow justices sof the commission to be the fifteenth member of the tribu- nal. voted in every instance in favor of the Republican claim, as did every other member of the commission, whether Judge, Senator or Represent ative, whose affiliations were with the Republican party. Every Democrat on the commission voted in favor of the claim of the Democratic managers.
 Every question submitted was set-' tied by a vote of 8 to z, but there was at least a settlement, which no one dreamed of disputing or attempted to annul. Gen. Grant gave way to Mr. Hayes and the government remained in the hands of the Republicans

Has Used Duffy's 25 Years

The excellent results obtained
 from the use of Duffy's Pure
 Malt Whiskey during 9
 years prompted Mir. Parrott
 to express his appreciation in
 the following words:
 Twenty five years ago, while in Albuuuerque, N. M., I was taken down with stomach trouble. My doc tor advised me to take Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, as directed before meals It fixed me up, and I have used Duffy's as occasion required all these years. Everyone in our Camp was more or less troubled with stom- ach distress, which all said was caus- ed by the alkali in the water, and 1t came to pass that @ few others of the old pioneers who like myself were trading and buying Navajo rugs and other Indian curios from the Indians, that we came to look upon Duffy s Pure Malt Whiskey as the old stand by. and when any of us had a cold, or our stomach was bad, we used Duff fy's and we recommended 1t as I do to all our friends."-C.
