Atlantic City, N. j., Nov. 14.-Repu-
diation by Luis Cabrera today of a

agreed on by two of his colleagues and
the three American representatives

The Americans were hopeful tonight
that they might yet induce the Mexi-
cans 70 agree to what they believe
would &c satisfactory plan for the
protection of life and property along
the boundary. but it was indicated by
those in touch with them that further
opposition, characterized as Quibbling,
would not long be tolerated.
There appeared reason tonight to
believe that unless the chairman Of the
Mexican commission adopted a more
tractable manner he and his associ-
ates would be informed that further
consideration of Mexico's social, eco
nomic and military problems must
come to an end.

Will Not Change
the California
Result 10 Votes
Says Van Wyck

San Francisco, Nov. 14.-"The completed
count for California will not show a diff
ference of more than 10 votes one way
or the other from figures already given
on the presidency" Sidney NJ. Van Wyck,
Jr., chairman of the Democratic cam
paign committee, announced late today.
He based his assertion on examination of
returns from all counties in which the
county clerks have completed their work
Minor gains and losses-seldom more than
a dozen votes in a precinct-thus far have
counterbalanced each other, Mr.. Van
Wyck said.
At the headquarters Of the Republican
presidential campaign committee it was
said that returns from six counties indi-
Gated that interest centered entirely in
the divergence between the vote for ton
and bottom electors on the tickets. No
predictions. it was said, could be made
as to what this might amount to.

POINTS TOTHE
POWER GERMAN
BUSINESS HOUSES
Finds They Have Disseminated
German Political and Social
Influence Besides Their Value
for Espionage

Washington, Nov. IA. The
British reply to the latest Amer
ican note protesting against the
trade blacklist, made public to-
might by the state department,
denies that rights of neutral
traders under international law
have been ruthlessly cancelled,
defines the blacklist measure as
a municipal regulation plainly
concerning only the British gov
eminent and British citizens and
contends that it is designed to
shorten the war.
The note fails to meet the Am
erican demand that the names of
American firms be stricken from
the blacklist, but attempts to
convince the state department
that the British position is just
and founded on law. It leaves
open the door for further nego-
tiation, which is expected to fol-
low.

Republican Claims

On the other hand Rep Woods of
Iowa. chairman Of the Republican con-
gressional committee, was insisting
that complete returns would show Re-
publican gains instead of losses and
that Republicans would dictate the or
Eanization of the House.
Representative Doremus claimed
that 212 Democrats and only 211 Re-
publicans surely had been elected and
that there were nine doubtful districts.
He enumerated districts which he be.
e!ieved would show Democratic victo-
riey on the official count.

Ottawa, Nov. 14.-Letters EXCHANGED
between Sir Robert Borden, Canadian

They showed that the appointment Of
Sir George Perley as overseas minister

Perley was appointed overseas minis

Post Not for AitI<en
Sir Sam urged that Sir Max Aitkin
be chosen for the post. The premier
declined and charged Sir Sam with
Gisresarding the principles of respon-
sitle government
The premier resented an intimation
that he and Sir George Perley had Sc
cretly planned for an overseas minis
ter o. mi. ia, and asked for Sir Sans
resignation.
In forwarding the resignation Sir Sam
intimated that the Canadian premier
wasted his time listening to the COM

the premier had it in contemplation to
get Sir George Perley in control in Eng

the premier that there was no more need
of separate minister of militia for Eng
land than one for a military camp in Can

on excellent authority that you had it in
contemplation for some time to retire 10

Outcome in Doubt

Both sides admitted that they could
not foretell the probable outcome of
the new controversy. The railroad
managers are certain they can estab-
fish the unconstitutionality of the
Adamson law while the brotherhood
leaders are equally sure that the law
will be upheld by the courts and en-
forced in letter and spirit.
Lees Statement
The attitude of the railways was
summarized in a statement issued by
Chairman Elisha Lee, after an all day
meeting of the railroad representa-
tives. The statement reads:
1--WE are all agreed to fight to the
end. The means to be employed were
fully discussed and the consensus of
opinion was that it vas necessary to
file suits questioning the constitution

trict court in which the affected rail-
roads operate"

San Francisco, Nov. 4.-Whether the
highest vote for a Republican elector
in California was greater than the low
est vote for a Democratic elector was
about the only question of interest to
California politicians tonight If this
should prove to be the case, the states
delegation in the electoral college may
be split. The Republicans admittedly
unearthed nothing in the course of
the day to indicate for or against such
a prospect.
Chairman Van Wyck's Claim
Sidney NJ. Van Wyck, Jr, chairman
of the Democratic campaign commit
tee, worked all day bringing in reports
from little counties in the mountains
where the county clerks had finished
their count and also succeeded in get
total for 20 counties showed that the
totals for the lowest Democratic cleo
tor in each county added 1856 votes
more than the totals for the highest
Republican elector in the same coun-
ties. This count would show when COM
pleted the Wilson electoral vote at it's
lowest ebb, Mr.. Van Wyck said.
That Is to say, If the lowest Demo-
cratic totals are finally ahead Of the
highest Republican totals. a solid dele
cation in the electoral college is assur-
ed. II the highest Republican totals ex-
coed the lowest Democratic totals, this
will not necessarily indicate that any
Republican electors because the lowest
Democratic and the highest Republican
are not the same in all counties.

Demands Of War

I
Demands Of War
IF that really were the position says
the note. lit is possible that the measures
taken by His Majesty's government might
be described as uncalled for, but it is not.
We may we'll wish that it were so. Even
though the military situation Of the AL
lies has greatly improved, there is still a
long and bitter struggle in front of them
and one which in justice to the principles
for which they are fighting imposes upon
them the duty Of employing every oppor-
tunity and every measure which they can
legitimately use to overcome their oppon-
ents.
lone observation which is very COM
monty heard is that certain belligerent
acts, even though lawful, are too petty
to have any influence in a struggle of
such magnitude. 1t is. I know, difficult
for those who have no immediate con-
tact with war to realize with what pain
full anxiety men and women in this coun-
try must regard even the smallest acts
which tend to increase if only by hairs
breadth the danger in which their rela-
tives and friends daily stand or ~ pro-
long if only by a minute the period dur
ing which they are to be exposed to such
perls.
Whatever inconvenience may be caus-
ed to neutral nations by the exercise Of
belligerent rights. 1t is not to be COM
pared for an instant to the suffering and
loss occasioned to mankind b.. the pro-
longation Of the war even for a week"

political and social influence and for the
purposes of espionage"

"they have even been used as bases Of
supply for German cruisers, and in other
cases organizers and paymasters Of mis-
