State Secretary Discovers Error in
Returns Changing 16l Hughes
Lead to l2l Wilson Plurality.

CONCORD, N. H. November 9.-Witf
returns complete. but only partially veri-
fled officially. Wilson led in New Hamp-
shire this morning by 121 votes
according to Secretary of State Edwin C.
Bean. Discovery of errors in official re-
ports was a factor in reversing the 161
lead which Hughes had last night. he said
Mr.. Bean said returns from 256 of the 27A
towns and wards still to be verified might
further change the result.
The official figures from seventy-seven
of these missing districts have been re-
cefved, but not tabulated. Secretary
Bean. in announcing the difference OF
ninety-three in favor of Wilson, gave no
total figures.
The totals upon which his preliminary
statement was based, had been reached,
he explained. by adding to the verified
returns newspaper figures from the dis
tricts not heard from officially.

I'VE found several errors said Secre-
tary Bean. Zone clerk in ward s. Con-
cord, reported the vote of that place as
Hughes. 225; Wilson, S. Our knowledge
of local conditions made US doubt this re-
suit. Investigation showed it should have
been Wilson, 225: Hughes, 8S. We are
scanning 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 delivery mail
on the official blanks. The democratic
state committee. when Hughes was re-
ported leading last night, was said to
have decided to petition for a recount OF
the vote.

Twelve hundred New Hampshire ma

in special session to authorize ballot

any in New Mexico. The ranches are
rich in wild animal life. Hundreds Of

There are turkey, grouse and bear. The

TaE GROWING WEST.
V.-CoWpunchers de Luxe.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The west Is always twenty years
ahead of its photographs. While the
spurred and booted cowpuncher still
rides through the pages of fiction in
goatskin CHAPS" the owner of the
San Cristobal ranch at Lamy, New
Mexico, Is negotiating for the purchase
of an aeroplane from which he and his
foreman will keep track Of his 10000
steers. The San Cristobal has a name
for putting its projects through. and
nobody doubts that the aeroplane will
soon be on the job. Mr.. Pankey, owner
of the ranch, says that he can easily get
q plane to do the work. but he had
some trouble finding a man who knew
both aeroplanes and steers. Now the
man has been found. and he will be
able to Oversee" the $4,000 acres Of
the San Cristobal as no cattle ranch
has ever been overseen before.
The aeroplane is only the logical last
step in the development of the system
under which the San cristobal ranch is
run. 1t Is already ranch conducted
by automobile, motor cycle and tele-
phone. It Is perhaps a bit more pro-
gressive than most western cattle
ranches. but 1t IL a better type Of the
real western ranch than those vaguely
located tracts that pass current in nc
few reels of moving pictures on the
San Cristobal now and then. but Mr..
Pankey's cowpunchers keep out of the
field Of the camera. They would spoil
the atmosphere.

by roads A seven-foot grader and an
auto truck are part of the permanent
equipment of the ranch, and a gang of

Island Apparently Prospecting.

Many Icelanders emigrated to Ameri-
ca from 1872 to 1900, and several thrifty
colonies have been established in Mani
toba, but during the last decade there
has been a decided tendency to stay at
home. Under its own legislature (al-
thing. which has thirty-four members

island is apparently prcspering. for
there is no public debt. and no contri-
button is required for military or naval
purposes.
With a length of nearly 900 miles
there are no railroads on the island,
and practically all transportation is
confined to horseback. the trails being
narrow and rough. The habitable re-
gions of the country are practically
confined to the lowIands, which EN-
