Republicans COncede
California to Wilson
President Leads by 3,l31, with SO Missing
Precincts Likely to Increase Margin
Electoral Vote May Split

Because Of the closeness of the con.
test in California it was said this after
noon by Secretary of State Frank c.
Jordan that there was likely to be
split in the electoral vote Of the state.
Jordan is SO sure that the winning
side will not get all thirteen electors
that he has decided to ask both parties
to delegate representa- yes to be pres
ent when the official count is made.
This count probably will start next
Thursday after the semi-oficial can
vass of votes has been made by the
county boards Of supervisors.
Has Split Four Times
CALIFORNIA; electoral vote has split
four times in the states history. the
last time being in 1912, when Roosevelt
got IL and Wilson won 2.
Registrar Harry Zemansky, Of San
Francisco County, expressed doubt that
the electoral vote would be split. He
based his position on the fact that in
San Francisco there was little splitting.
Late to-day, evidently acting on in
structions from Washington, the United
States Marshal swore in a large number
OF special deputies TO watch the ballot
boxes. A squad Of these was sent to
Alameda County, where there was a
report that some attempt had been
made to tamper with the ballots.
This followed an announcement that
revised figures from there had in
creased Hughes's plurality. Alameda
is normally strong Republican county.
The concession OF the state to Will
son on the fac, of the returns altered
in no way the determination Of both
parties to keep a sharp watch on the
semi official count by county clerks
and the final official count by the Sec
retary Of State. With a plurality of
less than 5000 in more than 100000
votes, a difference Of one vote in each
precinct might change the whole re-

Minnesota Militia's Votes
May Turn Doubtful State

eighty-fve precincts missing, is ex-
actly 1904 votes. II is entirely pos
sible that the gusrdsmen's vote will
turn the tide TO Wilson, but Repub-
lican leaders believe il will only serve
to make the Hughes victory more de-
cisive.
When returns had been received
from 2,940 precincts out of 1924 in the
state, Mr.. Hughes had a plurality OF
672, the count standing: Wilson. 175,-
556; Hughes, 1920. Except for Pres
ident. Minnesota delivered its GUS
tomary big Republican majority. as
shown in the pluralities OF Governor
3urnquist and Frank B. Kellogg, can
didate for the United States Senate.
Republicans also were uniformly sue
cessful on the rest OF the state ticket.
Hughess lead in the state was
threatened several times to-day By re-
turns from the northern part Of the
state, but always some other section
added the necessary votes TO the Re-
publican candidates column to keep
him ahead.
The closeness Of the vote attracted
unusual interest throughout the state,
which normally has questioned only
the size of the plurality Of the Repub-
lican candidates. Bulletin boards In
ell the larger cities attracted throngs
all day.
Several prominent politicians ex-
pressed the belief that the vote cast
by the Minnesota Gusrdsmen at the
Mexican border would be deciding
factor in the Presidential contest. The
commissioners who took the border
vote Tuesday telegraphed the Secre-
tary of State to-day that 2,138 guards
men had voted.

Congratulations Sent
by Tumulty Reach
Him on Mayf1ower
HUGHES LEARNS
OF HIS DEFEAT
Returns from Theatre to
Hear of Loss of
California

President Wilson was steaming up
New York Bay in the yacht Mayfower
when he received confirmation of his re-
election by wireless last night. 1t
reached him in the form Of congrat-
ulatory telegram from his secretary,
Joseph P. Tumulty, who had remained
at Long Branch while the President
travelled on the MayAower toward
Rhinebeck, where he is to take train
this morning for Williamstown. Mass.
Mr.. Tumulty had told the President
he would not congratulate him until
it was definitely known that he was
elected. The secretary therefore sent
this wireless message:
81 am here surrounded by the loyal
Democrats Of old Monmouth, and beg
leave to send you our greeting and
congratulations. The cause you have
go nobly represented has at last tri-
umphed, and we greet you. Our hearts,
our thoughts and our affections go to
you"
Mr.. Wilson did not reply to the mes
sage, and Mr.. Tumulty thought it un-
likely that the President would make
any statement.
Hughes Hears of Defeat
Far different were the circumstances
under which Charles E. Hughes learned
definitely that he was defeated. He
had Just returned to the Hotel Astor
from a night at the theatre, where
Nothing but the Truth" had served to
amuse him, when reporters sent in word
to him that his California chairman
had abandoned all hope.
Only few minutes before Mr..
Hughes had been cheered by several
hundred thearregoers In Broadway,
who had recognized him and his wife.
Fresh from this little demonstration
he received, soon after his arrival at
the hotel the news from California.
He was already in his suite Of rooms
and he sent out word by his secretary,
Lawrence Green, that he had no COM
ment to make.
One Of the newspaper men ques-
toned Mr. Hughes, jr., regarding a
rumor that was circulated throughout
the hotel to the effect that Mr.. Hughes
would sail on the steamship st. Louis
on Saturday for London.
Denies Plan for Trip
Mr.. Hughes entered the suite and
after consulting his father returned to
the newspapermen smiling with the in
formation that the story was denied.
Mr.. Green said the Presidents vic
tory would cause q change in Mr..
Hughes's plans. Instead Of going to
Sulphur Springs, as he had intended II
elected, Mr.. Hughes will go directly
10 his home in Washington.
President Wilson left Long Branch
last night on the Mayfower, on his
way to Williamstown to act as god
father for Eleanor Axson Sayre, the
Youngest child of Mrs. Francis b.
Sayre, his daughter. He will leave

Old Leaders of Party
Confer Here Over
Election Crisis
OPPOSE CONTEST
ON TECHNICALLY
Weeks, Crane, Hills and
Warren in Meeting at
Manhattan

While Chairman William r. Wilcox
and other members of the Republican
national campaign committee were
busy placing the rosiest interpretations
upon the returns from the doubtful
states, as received at Republican ma
tional headquarters, a small but seri-
Gus coterie Of the Republican war
horses of other campaigns gathered ar
the Hotel Manhattan yesterday after
noon. and discussed the possibilities of
desperate situation.
Among those present were Senator
John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts: ex-
Senator Murray Crane, of the same
state; Charles D. Hilles, former chair
man of the Republican National Com
mittee; Charles B. Warren, Republi-
can National committeeman from
Michigan, and William Barnes. Other
leaders Of potent influence in the past
came and went during the course of
the conference.
Every one of the old timers apreed
that careful recount in the close
states would be advisable. Quietly. il
was understood, some of them applied
their hammers to certain phases of the
present Republican campaign. Thev
were not jubilant over the outlook. Tho
returns from California were disap-
pointing.
Result Hinges on Two States
Senator Weeks admitted at one stage
OF the proceedings that the only homo
OF Republican success seemed TO lie in
tne result in New Hampshire and North
dakota. Senator Weeks talked with
Senator Porter J. McCumber, of North
Dakota, over the long-distance teIe.
phone. He said that Senator McCumber
toid him the vote there appeared to be
about even. The conferrees felt nre,tv
sure Of Minnesota and New Mexico.
The Republicans. according to sena-
tor Weeks, had already asked for a re-.
count in New Hampshire. The late re.
turns last night from that state placed
hughes in the lead by 13l votes. but
despite that fact attorneys were in
structed by the Republican leaders 10
go through the state and get certified
copies Of the vote from the clerks in
each county, to have a proper record
should anything happen to the ballot
boxes.
Chairman Wilcox, Herbert Parsons,
Frank II. Hitchcock. George W. Perkins
and other members of the campaign
committee later conferred at different
times with the men who we're at the
Hotel Manhattan, with the exception of
Mr.. Barnes. Barnes merely happened
IN, 1t was said, and made no claim to
seat in the national council. The posi-
bility Of contests and recounts occupied
a good deal of the general discussion
among all hands.
No Contest on Technicalities
One thing had been decided positive
ly, it was said, that the Republicans
would not contest the election on tech
nicalities II Wilson finally won. All
they would insist upon would be care
full and proper recount of the vote in
the close states, which was bound TO
be asked by the defeated side in the
states. The Republicans would be

San Francisco, Nov. 9.-Republican
prospects of carrying California went
to smash this afternoon after the
registrars of voters in Los Angeles
and San Francisco revised their earlier
figures and left Wilson with lead OF
500 in the state.
The missing precincts at that time
were from mountain and Northern
California districts. which were con-
ceded to be for the President. Re-
publican stock went up momentarily
when the cut Of Wilson's plurality from
4.6OO to 500 was announced, but IT
went down to the hopeless stage when
Siskiyou County reported with a plur-
ality of more than 1000 for Wilson
and Sierra followed with 800 more:
This gave the President safe lead
of about 1000.
Republicans Lose Hope
At s:25 o'clock tonight Chester H.
Rowell, Republican state chairman,
conceded the state to Wilson. Rowell
gave up hope when returns from 1884
precincts out of $3.50 gave Wilson
465,6 ,669; Hughes. 462,53S.
This gave Wilson a lead OF 3,l5i
votes. with only thirty-six scattered
precincts to be heard from.
"The Los Angeles Times" which sup
ported Hughes, conceded California to
Wilson at 9:25 p. m.
Small corrections by county clerks
throughout the state and scattering
precincts that were slow in sending
in their returns kept the tide drifting
in the Wilson direction until all doubt
that the state had cast its electoral
vote for him practically had vanished.
The few precincts yet to report are
so small that they could not change
the result. They are known, however,
TO lean toward Wilson and, If any
thing. will increase his lead.

LONGS FOR PEACE,
ASQU1TH ASSERTS
But Sacrifices of War Must
Not Be Made in Vain,
He Says

London, Nov. 9.-Nobody has greater
reason to desire peace than Britain, but
she desires it only on one condition
that the sacrifices of the war shall not
have been made in vain.
That statement was made by Premier
Asquith tonight at the banquet Of the
new Lord Mayor OF London, Sir Will
lam Henry Dunn, given at the Guildhall
tonight and attended by Cabinet min
listers, Walter Hines Page, the Ameri-
can Ambassador, and men prominent in
the military and naval world, among
them Lord Fisher, chairman of the In
vention Board; Arthur ]. Balfour, First
Lord of the Admiralty, and Sir William
R. Robertson, chief of the Imperial
staff at Army Headquarters.
Abiding to what he termed the prop
aganda conducted in Russia to the ef-
feet that Great Britain's only desire
to prolong the war and prevent any
sort of peace was because she was
making huge profits by exploiting her
Allies unscrupulously. the Premier
said:
Demands Security for Weak
For u.s." said the Premier, "who
know what terrible sacrifices we are
paying in precious lives, in the unceas-
ing. pitiless drain upon our reservoir
of potential promise and vitality-who
have greater reason than we to long
and pray for peace? Peace, yes, but
on one condition only-that the war,
with its vast waste, its sacrifices, its
untold sufferings, its glorious and un-
diving example of courage and unself-
ishness, shall not have been in vain.
There can be no question of sep
arate peace, and peace. when it comes
bs il soon or late-and | will not dis
guise from you for a moment my con-
yiction that the struggle will tax all
our resources and our whole stock OF
patience and resolve--the peace must
be such as will build upon sure and
stable foundations the security OF the
weak, the liberties Of Europe and
free future for the world"
A feature of the speeches was the
Premier's warm tribute of admiration
on Rumania's stand and the expression
of the opinion that, although the ATTACK
on Rumania had not yet been defeated,
il had been successfully stayed.
Denies Trade War on Neutrals
Premier Asquith denounced as child
ish fiction the German suggestion that
the Entente Allies sought to build up
an impenetrabie wall against neutral
trade. This could only mean, he added,
that the Allies were bent on economic
suicide.
Mr.. Asquith said it ought to be un-
necessary to affirm that when the time
comes for peace nothing could be more
essential for the Entente Allies from
the standpoint of simple self-interest
than 70 establish and maintain the best
industrial and financial relations with
neutrals.
Alluding 10 the different methods OF
propaganda which he said were en-
ployed at different places with a view 10
dividing the Allies and influencing opin-
ion for a separate peace, Mr.. Asqulth
said:

tion or reserve that the Allies are fight

Washington. March 22.-The United

from Manila last Thursday, is due to
arrive at Guam today, from which
port, it is understood, she will convey
to San Francisco the German, cruiser
Cormorant. which sought refuge there
when she was pursued by japanese

lyn left Manila under sealed orders and
her destination had been the subject
Of more or less conjecture
During her flight the CORN orant's s
crew tore up the wooden deck floors
for fuel and the exposed iron radiated
so much heat that several Of them
developed symptoms Of insanity.
After the Cormorant interned at
Guam 1t became apparent that the
tropical heat and the necessary restric-
tions made living conditions unbear-
able to the crew, AS a result 1t was
decided to bring the vessel and her
crew to the United States.
