WILSON IS CHEERFUL

Long Branch, N. J., November 7.--ln the face of returns up to 10 o'clock Ipdi- eating the election Of Charles E. Hughes, President Wilson and his official family here late tonight insisted that news from western states would be awaited before any concessions were made. The Presi- dent, surrounded by members of his im- mediate family. received the returns in his study at Shadow Lawn. He heard only the more important bulletins by telephone from Secretary Tumulty, who, with White House attaches, received the detailed reports by telegraph at the ex- ecutive offices in Asbury Park.
 As continued discouraging news came to the executive offices disappointment was generally expressed, but the Presi- dent himself remained cheerful He filled in the time between receiving returns by talking with Mrs. Wilson, Miss Mar garet Wilson and other relatives MT. Wilson displayed keen interest in the returns indicating the political complexion of the next House and Senate Discour- aging as well as hopeful news was seIt to him by Secretary Tumulty. No effort was made to conceal the fact that the outlook was not bright. Returns from western states, however, were eagerly awaited.
