The New York Landslide

NEW YORK Nov. I-The state of New York has been carried for Hughes by plurality of more than 100000 The indications are that he also has car ried Illinois and Indiana by a like plur- ality.
 The returns from Ohio are insuffi- cient to determine the result in that state.
 All of the New England states and New Jersey as well as Wisconsin and Michigan have been removed from the list of doubtful states
 Unless there is a landslide for Pres ident Wilson on the Pacific slope, the election of Huehes seems certain.
 Although President Wilson's secre- tary at the summer White House, and Chairman Vance c. Mccormick of the democratic national committee, made statements that the complete returns would show the re- election of President Wilson, the trend on the face of the returns was toward Hughes and early in the evening some of the New York newspapers which have supported Will son conceded his defeat. although they made no statement in figures. Early in the evening great majority for Hughes in New York was evident and the state was conceded by the dem- ocrats Soon afterward democratic sup porters conceded the loss of all New England to the Hughes column, and the increasing returns of the middle west, although far from complete showed the Hughes figures growing fast.
 Early estimates of the Hughes elec- toral vote without Ohio placed it at PIT, eleven more than necessary for a ma jority in the electoral college. The Hughes majorities reported from Indi- ana and Illinois were regarded by the republican leaders as an indication of what might be expected from the states farther west when the figures began coming n.s The difference in time and the fact that polls in some of the west ern states closed later than in the east made figures early in the evening im- possible.
 Nothing definite as to the complex ion of the next congress was available early in the night. The democratic ma iority in the house had been decreased by one. It was conceded that the ma jority in the senate had been decreased by two-one by the republican victory in Maine last September and the other by the election of William Calder from

News from Pima county gave an encouraging turn to the earlier re- turns. Ajo. which was considered extremely doubtful, reported authen tically that 70 per cent of its vote was for the republican candidate Nosiiles was giving Campbell Q small lead shortly after midnight. In Tucson precinct No. ?. 6sO votes gave Campbell a majority of 121.
 Sixty mine votes in kingman (Mo- have county, stronghold of Hunt's) gave Hunt and Campbell each 33 votes and three to the socialist can didate, Robertson. Asnurst received 45 to Ilibbey's 22 in the same poll.
 Some figures on Hayden precincts and show Hughes and Wilson running absolutely even, with Hunt leading Campbell Baughn was show ing two to one lead over Ross in No and Ross had the Pinal judge besteG by two on one in the second precinct. Wfnkelman returned a heavy vote. with the following par tial results: Hunt 142, Campbell 90, Ross 70. Baushn 63, Ashurst 140, Kibbev AZ. Hughes Al Wilson 135.
 Indications that Tom Campbell would carry Maricopa county by 250O or more lent hopeful tone to the early returns. which were extremely patchy. Phoenix precincts, dribbling in between 9 and II o'clock, gave incomplete re- suits that encouraged the Campbell supporters to believe he would carry the county by at least 2500, and by 10 o'clock, George J. Stoneman, chairman of the democratic state central com mittee, conceded the county to the re- publican standard bearer by thou sand. He could not be reached later, so it was impossible to secure sub sequent statement Republican cam paign managers made absolutely no claims for either Campbell or Kibbey up to a late hour last night
 Working against severe odds, news gatherers for The Republican and agencies in it's employ, secured but scattered returns from the local pre- cincts. In Phoenix, where the vote was heaviest, some of the election boards calmly proceeded to count the votes on the measures, leaving the public panting for news of the fate of the chief candidates.

GERMANY MAY PAY NORWEG|ANS
 FUR THE [ANAO.
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Precedents established in the case of the Ameri- can ship Frye, wheat laden and bound for England, sunk in mid Atlantic by tho German auxiliary cruiser Prin2 Eitel Friederich in 1915, are expected to lead the German government vol untarily to offer to pay for the steam CT Lanao sunk by German submarine off the coast of Portugal, October 2S, if it is established that the vessel was sailing legally under the American flag and registry.
 The state department is making every effort to develop the facts. It appears certain. that due warning was given and proper care taken to safe guard the lives of all on board. The question to be cleared up is whether the Lanao was an American ship. It is known that negotiations for her sale by the American owners to Ncrweigiar shipowner had been in progress before the vessel started on the voyage, but it is not clear whether these had been concluded and the registery actually changed at the time of the attack or whether the change of ownership and registry were con ditional upon the delivery of the shir at a Norwegian port.
 Regarding the right of the German submarine commander to destroy the cargo of contraband rice destined to French or enemy port there is no disposition to raise any question. But in the Frye case the German govern ment admitted that under article XIII of the treaty of 1799 the ship itself should have been allowed to proceed after the removal of the contraband cargo.

Republican A. p. Leased Mire]

LONG BRANCH, N. J., In the face of returns at 10 o'clock indicating the election of Charles E. Hughes, Presi- dent Wilson and his official family here late tonight insisted that news from western states would be awaited before any concessions were made. The president, surrounded by members of his immediate family. read the returns in his study at Shadow Lawn He heard only the more important bulletins by telephone from Secretary Tumulty, who received the detailed reports by telegraph at the executive offices in Asbury Park.
 As continued discouraging news came to the executive offices, disap- filled the time between receiving re- turns by talking with Mrs. Wilson. Miss Margaret Wilson and other relatives Mir. Wilson displayed keen interest in the returns indicating the probable complexion of the next house and sen- ate. Discouraging as well as hopeful
 
 Tumulty. No effort was made to con- ceal the fact that the outlook was not bright Returns from western states, however, were awaited eagerly
 Out in the seclusion of Shadow Lawn the president was amid quiet but the executive offices were surrounded by an excited crowd. Next door a news paper flashed the bulletins. Pictures of the president and MT Hughes were received with applause.
 As late reports came to the executive offices by telephone and telegraph and from local democratic leaders in vari- ous states. the hopes of the president and those about him began to rise. Stronger claims were made that on the final count Mir. Wilson would win.
 Apparently the president was the most cheerful person here. Those who talked with him said he showed no impatience. He began receiving re- turns shortly after six o'clock, and after eating dinner with members of his family, began getting them again. He waited until he was called to the telephone to receive news
 It was declared that the outcome of the election will make no immediate change in the presidents plans He will go ahead planning for legislation he desires at the December session of congress. He will remain here until Thursday night when he goes to Will iamstown. Mass, to attend the christ ening of the child of his daughter. Mrs. Francis B. Sayre. He expects to re- turn to Washington Sunday night.
 President Wilson went to bed at 12:30 o'clock. He left word, however that if really definite returns were re- , ceived during the night he should be awakened.

than shown by the registration. In precinct 15 almost every republican vote was brought out, condition that was known in a number of other poll ing places.
 At midnight there appeared to be assurance of the election of Wilkin- son for senator, Roberts for sheriff and probably Allen for treasurer, with Loch running well, and with a chance for Hall for senator, according to the figures received at the county repub- lican headquarters. Wilkinson's lead comes from the cutting of both Stapley and Davis by the warning democratic factions

was secured, however, to prove that Campbell would carry the city by comfortable margin. An early count of fifteen Maricopa county precincts gave Campbell 1241 and Hunt S14. Hughes on this same count, surprised every body by getting 71S to Wilson's S14
 klbbey ran rather poorly as com pared with Campbell here but it is explained by the fact that fewer pre- clncts returned a count on the sena- torial race. Interest seemed to center in the contests for the presidency and the governorship, and few of the state and county races were followed out by the counters.
 Voting began early and was fairly brisk, although the streets did not ex- hibit the speeding autos and the busy people they did four years asa. A heavy vote was cast in some Of the city precincts, while others proved light. It was estimated early last even ing that the vote would exceed that of 1912 in percentage of registration, but no figures were given.
 In Phoenix Ne. 2, where there was heavy registration, many women voted early, and by noon, about 65 per cent of the vote had been cast. Phoenix No. 1 cast but 250 votes out of it's 421 registration. No. 16 was banner pre- cinct, with ASA out of 570 voting
 The election of two years ago and the recent primary furnished more downtown excitement than did yester- days election. The street crowds were much smaller, and the speeding autos were either less in number or kicked up heap less dust. Workers for the various parties and candidates were ex- tremely busy. and in many cases did very efficient work. The election was handled very completely and carefully by the several republican organizations, which claimed to have gotten out a large per cent of the party's vote. Democratic candidates busted them selves, and swelled the already large number of workers for that party. The outside work of the democrats indi- cated they were much better organized than were the republicans, and they did not care who knew it
 Women Do Splendid Work
 The work of the republican women at the polls yesterday was one of the fin est examples of political team play ever witnessed. They were on the job at six in the morning and stayed until the last vote was in the ballot boxes In some precincts, practically a hun dred per cent of the republican vote was cast. Sick women were induced to get out of bed and go to the polls to vote. 'One worker, in order to secure a couple of votes from women, engaged in family ironed their laundry for them while they went to the polls.
 The enthusiasm throughout the coun- | ty for Campbell and Kibbey was in tense. The cooperation of numbers of people who usually do not actively par ticipate in political work was shown by the large numbers of automobiles do- mated as well as by the scores of vol unteer workers.
 The headquarters of the Hughes AL liance was a strenuous place from

At midnight, n the face of weirdly scattered returns from this and all the other big counties, Thomas Maddock republican state chairman made the following statement
 Tom Campbell will be elected Mesa alone will give him bigger majority than Hunt will receive in the entire county of Cochse. Campbell has beaten Hunt to in many MaricOpa county precincts.

NEW YORK, Nov 7.-Charles E. Hughes and his followers received election returns here tonight at the uptown hotel which has been the re- publican nominees headquarters since his nomination.
 When the early returns began to come in MT. Hughes was asleep. He slept until 6:30 o'clock. Meantime the telegraph instruments in an ad joining room had been clicking for two hours and a sheaf of telegrams showing the trend in New York, were awaiting Mir. Hughes. The first paper handed to him told of an announce ment by a New York newspaper that he had carried New York state by 150,000 plurality. MT. Hughes smiled.
 Mrs. Hughes and their three daughters, the Misses Catherine, Elizabeth and Helen, scanned the returns over MT. Hughes shoulder. Presently Charles E. Hughes, Jr., and his wife. and Dr. Colin S. Carter, Mrs. Hughes brother, joined the group. Dinner was ordered. the first in months at which the entire family had been present.
 Returns soon came in faster and dinner was neglected for a time to read them. A huge electric sign several blocks away flashing the re- turns from New York divided the family's attention with the telegrapnic reports. They fingered at dinner un- til late and the group in the corridor opposite the telegraph room heard frequent outbursts of laughter.
 At o'clock Mrs. Hughes coneratu- lated her husband on his election. She told him then that he had been elected. MT. Hughes daughters also congratulated him.
 Mir. Hughes gave out no statement.
 A crowd of thousands with h-ass hands gathered in the hotel where MT Hughes was staying and at II o'clock sent up a committee to re quest tho nominee to appear before them. MT. Hughes sent back word that he apprecis ted the request but did not wish to appear until the result was demonstrated beyond doubt.
 Charles F. Hughes sat up with his family to receive election returns nn- til 1.15 a. m He then went to bed, closed up his nersonal hcadnuarters. silenced ire telegraph instruments over which hn had been rnnoiving returns and left instructions that ha was not to ha disturbed. no matter what news belated reports might come.
 Mr. Hughes expected to get up at I 8. m. today to receive further re- norts. He declined to make any comment on the reports received up to bed time.

THE EFFECT ON CONGRESS

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Congres- sional election returns were insuffi cient at II o'clock tonight to indi- cate what would be the complexion of congress. At that hour, how ever, the republicans had gained two senators, one in New York and one in Maine, elected last Septem- Der. and the indications were that they would gain at sleast three more, two in Indiana and one in New Jersey. To gain control of the senate the republicans must win nine seats beside holding their own
 Although republican party lead CTS predicted tonight that the demo ocratic majority of 23 in the pres ent house would be wiped out. the early returns showed a net gain of one for the republicans through the defeat of McGillicuddy in Maine last September They gained two in New York. but this was offset by a democratic gain of one in North Carolina and one in Pennsylvania.

 The election naturally showed up some odd features For instance, one person, presumably a woman, carefully voted for strict prohibition. and against local option, and left the rest of her ballot an uncompromising blank. Ap- parently no candidate was good enough to secure her support.
 There was a surprising number of straight tickets in the Phoenix pre- cincts. In No. there were 666 regis tered, 541 voting. There were 1O7 straight republican and the same num- Der of straight democratic tickets
 In No there were S2 straight re- publican and 6S straight democratic ballots.
 No. Is had ASA registered and it is said that Campbell carried that precinct biz. Many in this precinct voted both yes and no on the amendments. There were "A straight republican and A straight democratic votes.
 Phoenix No. had lot of tickets on which none of the non- partisan candi-
 
 was 501 and the vote S51, which is light as compared with many other precincts.
 Phoenix No. 8 had PSI registered and 219 voting.
 No. 14 had 419 registered. There were 62 straight republican and 42- straight democratic votes. Three hundred and twenty nine out of 419 voted, and there were but 226 votes scratched. Polls workers in Phoenix took time off during the dinner hour last evening to figure some figures for The Repub- lican. It was found that it took an av- craze of 1.2 minutes for the individual to vote. Also, the dinner hour was pro- ductive of some hearty maledictions against the chap who catered The grub was said to be execrable, and in many polling places, the howl was so 1 keen and loud and long that the super visors authorized the purchase of real food from the down town restaurants.
