HUGHES STILL HAS
LEAD IN MINNESOTA

st. Paul. Mimi. Nov. 11.-With one
third the soldier vote counted, Hughes
still leads in Minnesota by 497. The
guardsmen vote was a cruel shock to
the Democrats of Minnesota. 1t was
counted on to give Wilson a clear 500
and to put Minnesota in the Wilson
column.
The first returns from Ramsey
county est. Paul. bore ou this hope
but Minneapolis dashed it. The guard
vote In Minneapolis complete showed
Wilson 244; Hughes 291.
In Ramsey county the soldier vote
complete gives Wilson 1877 and Hughes
lie. 1t is doubtful If any of the out
side counties will get the guard vote
in time to count and report tonight.
The two big counties have counted
and reported on total of 1888 guard
votes, divided: Wilson 381 and Hughes
407, and Hughes netted 26 votes. TAX
ing this guard vote as q fair example of
the balance of the soldier vote and
Minnesota would no longer be In doubt,
were it not for the fact that the Off
cial canvass in Ramsey county has
turned up errors which being corrected
added 349 net to Wilson. st. Louis
county (Duluth) on corrected and COM
plete figures added another 46 to Will
son.
These changes just about leave hon.
ors even between the two candidates
and Minnesota is still very much in
doubt.
The latest Hughes lead. based on re-
turns. about one fifth of which have
been officially canvassed with 10 pre-
cincts still missing and with the SOL
der vote as far as counted added, is
497 and this figure is changed almost
every hour by corrections made on Of
ficial count. So Minnesota is in doubt
and Hughes has q bit the edge.

WILCOX AWAITS
OFFICIAL Count
IN CALIFORNIA
Republican Chairman Still
Refuses to Concede the
Defeat of Hughes-No
Fraud Is Alleged.
BY CARL D. eRoAT

(Onfteo FfeSS StaU Gorrespo ndent)
New York, Nov. 11.-yaguely and
lnferentiaVy. Republican Chairman
Wilcox intimated tonight the national
committee may take some action over
the disputed defeat Of Charles E.
Hughes before the official figures are
compiled.
I'VE will pay attention to every
phase Of the situation he said after
comforting with Hughes. when ! say
we will wait for the official figures
do not mean that we may not do some-
thing in the meantime"
He was not specific, however, as to
what, il any. action he contemplates
other than the watchful waiting he has
mapped out. His statement was inter-
preted in some quarters as significant
from the fact that earlier in the day
he had announced receipt of charges
from many quarters that frauds were
perpetrated in the elections in Cali
fornia and elsewhere. These charges
have been forwarded to various state
chairmen for what they may be worth.
Wilcox himself, however, has not in
dorsed any of the claims, contenting
himself with saying that he does not
believe the present election machinery
is as susceptible of corruption as in
the past.
HUGHES IN SEcLusIoN.
Hughes remained in the seclusion of
his Astor hotel apartments today with
Mrs. Hughes his sole companion, ex-
cept for two or three outside guests.
Wilcox had injected bit of optimism
int he 10 ao
ures showing that four years ago there;
was a similar situation in California
which on official revision cut down the
Democratic lead enormously.
IT do not claim any fraud" said WILL
cox. but with SO many districts and
so many votes count Of few in each
district means much. We want the
state to get an official count before we
do anything. When that has been
taken we will Judge as to the correct
ness of the vote. and as to any future
steps,"
HAS NO PLANS.
Governor Hughes has made no plans
for the immediate future, though as
tentatively he will leave here In a few
days for a nearby town. perhaps Mont
clair, to await returns. If matters
then are still against him, he will prob
ably return to New York. hang out his
shingle and resume law practice.
The shock of the past few days has
passed. Hughes looks worn and his
faithful wife is wearied, but by no
means respondent. In fact. she hss
faced the ordeal wonderfully and has
been an inspiration and a cheer to
Hughes.
Hughes has not seen newsnapermen
since last Sunday night and he prob
ably will withhold any statement until
after the official counts, which prob
ably will consume a week or more.

ANXIETY IS ACUTE
CONCERN|NCFAT
OF 10 AMERICANS
Government Orders Agents
From Mexico City and
Torreon to Make an In
vestigation at Parral.

El Paso, Tex, Nov. 11.-so acute
has anxiety become over the fate of
the 10 Americans known to have been
at Parral when that town was re-
ported entered by Villista bandits that
the state department at Washington
and other federal departments today
ordered agents from Mexico City. Tor
reon and other points in Mexico to pro-
ceed personally to Parral IL possible.
Twelve days have passed since the
bandits were believed to have captured
Parral. Mining companies sent a ma
tive messenger from Chihuahua City a
week ago in an attempt to reach the
Americans but he has never been
heard from since.
General Luis Herrera, commander of
the Mexican defacto garrison at Par
raj was captured in battle at Dorado
several days ago and Villa personally
executed him, according to reports
made to United States department
agents. However, officials of the Car
rama government in FL Paso and
Juarez declared the report untrue. Villa
was known to be enraged at Herrera
because he refused to join him when
in power.
FOR RELEASE OF SCOUT.
Efforts are being exerted by the
United States authorities here to pro-
cure the release OF Benjamin Brahan, a
Pershing scout now held at Juarez,
charged with being a Villa scout. 1t is
feared Brahan will be taken to Chi
huahua City and executed by the Car
ranzista authorities.
A plot Matched among the members
of the Mexican defacto garrison at
Juarez to overthrow the Carranzista
military control of the border town and
turn 1t over to Villistas was checked
today when so soldiers of the customs
guards were taken into custody and
disarmed. Carranzista officials an
nounced that all were formerly under
Pancho Villa but we're granted am
nesty when his power waned.
