Meantime veritable tempest has
been stirred up in California circles
by the loss of the state to the demo
Gratis. Chairman Roweu in a state
ment published today declared that
Hughes was defeated because he had
failed to- convince a. large minority oi
progressives that he was the mar
who should lead them.
Incidents of the trip OF Hughes to
California, he said, when he was
prevented recognizing Governor Hir-
am Johnson Of being recognized by
progressive leaders, was the climax
Of the situation here" Roweil added
that Governor Hughes himself was
personally blameless in this connec-
ton, saying those who managed his
trip here were responsible.
"The progressive leaders faithful.
ly supported Hughes" he said, "and
succeeded in inducing the majority OF
the progressives to follow them. but
the minority, added to the labor vote
and the pac.tists women's vote,
turned the tide for Wilson"
One newspaper quotes Rowell as
declaring that from now on the west
will dominate the nations politics.
Replying to newspaper stories that
Hughes "snubbing of Governor John
son" had defeated Hughes for the
William H. Crocker. re-
publican national committeeman, who
was mainly in charge Of Hughes Cal

never been any snub. He asserted
that he personally had invited John

line to greet Hughes, but that John
son had declined to go.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The great bat
lie between Russo -Rumanian forces
and Mackensen's troops in the Dub
rudja for possession of the bridge that
crosses the Danube at Cernavoda con-
tinues. Advices today from Bucha-
rest, Petrograd and Berlin regarding
Yesterdays fighting emphasize this
conflict as the most important opera
tion OF the day on the many Of the
fronts. Occupation Of the Dunreav
station. about two miles due west of
Cernayoda, was claimed by Petrograd
and not denied from Berlin, appears
to have giVens the Slavonic armies at
least temporary advantage In their
efforts to press back. or. envelop Gener-
al Mackensen's left flank which rests
on the Danube. Military experts here
say Slav success at this point would
change the complexion Of the Dobrud-
ia front materially. with great disad-
vantage to the Teutons.
Russians are reported in strong
force about Cernavoda They are re-
ported hurriedly bringing up artillery
for a final smash.
Reports of sarlguinary fighting in
this sector appear to be borne out by
ether reports to Petrograd Of hum
dreds Of dead picked up in the terri
tory from which Mackensen's forces
have been hammered back.
There is still some doubt here as to
the sharp f1ehting about Predeal. Both
sides claimed the advantage. The Ber-
lin statement admitted the Transyl-
vanian Rumanian armies adopted a
strong offensive, but that all attacks
were repulsed. Petrograd advices
said the Rumanians have all but COM
pleted development of the Teutonic
left flank.
In the territory about Dornavatra
IN the Carpathian mountains, Russian
troops, according to Berlin, have de-
veioped powerful offensive. The Ber-
lin announcement attaches much i'm
portance to their claim that terrific
austrian counter attacks have chased
the Slavs from heights they took by
storm in three days of fighting ending

victory would be to General Falken-

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Outwardly,
at least, Chas. Evans Hughes isn't
showing any signs of disappointment
over indication that he has Just lost
out on the biggest job in America. The
man who said two days before the
election-"H am elected-as l ex-
pect to be"-and said 1t with convic-
tion ringing in his vojce-was Just
as imperturbably unconcerned as
when a short six months ago he sat on
the bench of the supreme court OF the
United States In judicial calm. There
was no doubt that Hughes was greatly
moved Wednesday when after he had
gone to bed Tuesday night convinced
he was elected, he awakened to find
his opponent chosen. But today he
had no signs of discomposure or dis
appointment.
No ono has been a. greater factor in
maintaining q smooth balance in the
Hughes camp than Mrs. Hughes,-her
husbands advisor. comforter and con-
stant companion in all the hard work
of-the campaign. One thing that
Hughes has told his friends warmed
his heart greatly, was the handsome
majority which his own home state
Iof New York accorded him.
Neither Hughes nor his personal
staff have yet conceded Wilson's elec-
tion. They are waiting for the OH
cial count. They are particularly in
terested in the enormous Increase of
the California vote and 1t is said a
quiet investigation is under way into
this.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes probably will
remain at the Astor hotel for several
days and then depart to some quiet
spot nearby for rest. 1t is probable
they will go to Mont Claire where
Hughes rested between several Of his
campaign tours.
