/. NEW HAMPSHIRE

r., Concord, N H., Nov. 9.-With two
Eprecincts missing, the count in New
Hampshire at noon gave Wilson lead
Eof 121. This was based on certified
treturns to the secretary of state from
l2SS precincts and press returns from
fb4. The vote was: Wilson, 43,S42;
Hughes, 43,721. Secretary of State
bean corrected his earlier statement
lin which he said the state was com
tplete. The two towns unreported cast
- very small vote.
Concord, N H., Nov. 8. Philip H.
Faulkner, chairman Of the republican
state committee issued the following
statement today:
The claim that New Hampshire has
gone for Wilson is unsubstantiated by
ANY returns in our possession. Unof-
kfcial figures, verified in every quarter
" the state indicate that Hughes has
icaIried New Hampshire by something
Hess than 100 plurality.
Il I'VE have well fortified information
Eof Irregularities in the counting of
votes in many quarters and we have
today instituted proceedings for an in
lspection of all the votes cast in the
Estate on Tuesday, as our law pro-
syides.'

President Wilson can win with
either California or Minnesota provided
he holds those states now credited to
him.
Mr.. Hughes to win must have both
California and Minnesota.
In California President Wilson had
a lead Of nearly 1000 with less than
800 precincts missing. Both party
managers claim the state.
3 IN Minnesota the most dramatic
race of all was being run hour by
hour. During yesterday President Will
sons lead Of ten thousand slowly
melted down before the Hughes vote
from the rural districts until it was
wiped out. Then the Wilson votes be-
gan coming in again only to be offset
by Hughes burst and so the contest
whip-sawed all night with first one
ahead and then the other. Early this
morning with about 500 precincts unre'
ported Hughes was ahead with less
than 1000 and he maintained that
margin all day.
Mr. Wilson had lead of over
thousand votes on the latest returns
from North Dakota with nearly 200 dis
'tricts unreported. Both party leaders
claimed the election.
With the count half in from New
Mexico Mr.. Hughes had margin of
hess than 800 votes over President Will
son. Returns from far outlying dis
tricts are expected to come in slowly
today.
The latest returns from Washington
early today apparently carried that
state into the democratic column.
president Wilson had lead Of over
5000 votes on the latest figures with
about 500 districts missing.
Idaho was taken from the doubtful
column at an early hour and again Civ
EN- to President Wilson, who had a
lead of over $4,000 votes on the last
returns. Less than 200 districts have
not reported.
II Mr.. Hughes has lead of over $500
votes On the returns early today from
West Virginia with only about 400 dis
tricts unreported.

AND THEY ARE
STILL CLAIMING

There were no bands marching, no
banners flying, no crowds cheering, no
one pointing with PRIDE" Wednesday
night in Ottumwa: In the party head
quarters where the politicians were
gathered around tables reading bulle-
tins from doubtful states, gloom was
prevalent.
A ray Of hope for one of the candi-
dates would come now and then. but
mostly 1t was uncertainty. There was
some Joking but somehow the "ouick
stuff" didn't get over as it generally
does. When anyone laughed 1t was
a short. nervous, ierky. laugh and did
not sound as if the owner OF the gig
gle had Just eaten hearty meal, or
was amused by the antics Of some cir
Gus clown
There was a tenseness that was ex-
pressed in the faces, In the converse
ton and the actions Of the anxiouslv
waiting faithful ones. Knuckles show
ed white, when hand gripped the
back Of chair. and several men chew
ed their finger nails off and don't know
1t yet.
Late in the evening, a bulletin an
nonnced that prominent politician in
California. overcome bv the closeness
Of the race, had keeled over. One Of
the watchers remarked. BOYS, Wen
just close that door right now. We
don't want anyone coming in here and
keeling over
Both sides nut on bold front and
claimed and claimed and claimed. but
its safe to say that that sickly, empty
feeling was present in all concerned,
regardless Of politics

TEASING SIGNS
USED BY FARMERS

Ames, Nov. 8. Eat Honey" are the
appetite teasing words, painted IN big,
red letters on sign hung high across
the road in front of the farm house of
Archie Banks, Delmar. BUY pound
or carload here" ends the legend
which compelled hundreds of tourists
last year to apply the brakes to their
cars and stop to buy a pound or two
Of Arches extract of bee" And
Banks. who keeps 100 or SO hives OF
bees, was able, through this simple ad-
vertising scheme, to sell hundreds Of
pounds of his honey harvest to auto
tourists at retail price almost double
the wholesale.
To allure farmers of that section to
the best equipped wireless stations IN
the state, has more subtle scheme.
He has placed weather bulletin
board in front Of his home on which
he posts the daily weather bulletins
sent out from Iowa State college. Far
mers come to read and stay to buy.
These are two of many plans that
a farmer may use to create home de-
mand for his honey, adds the bee man
at Iowa State college And this sys-
tenn not only allows him to sell at high
retail price. but eliminates shipping
cost of the honey If sold at wholesale.
An ad or two in the weekly news
paper never fails to bring many Gus
toners. Public sales provide an ex-
cellent place for the bee man to sell
his product also II he will set up a
we'll decorated stand at such sale
and distribute samples of his honey,
he will have no trouble in selling hun
dreds OF pounds for samples always
"taste like more"
H. P. Morrison, Fayette, disposes OF
his whole harvest from 100 hives
through his home market He person
ally distributes orders in special de-
livery auto he has bought.
That 1t pays to advertise is illus
trated by the fact that more than 900
pounds Of honey were sold from Iowa
state college this year by merely let
ting folks know through word OF
mouth that the product could be
bought there.

Murdered" Woman
 Very Much Alive; Beat Her Husband

"A woman is being murdered at 1929 Hancock avenue. Get the police," was the excited cry of a woman at 7:30 o'clock this morning as she ran into Kelley's saloon at 1074 Hancock avenue The bartender instead of calling police headuarters, called Su perintendent J. H. Redgate's house and related the murder to him.
 The superintendent transferred the call to police headquarters and Lieu tenant James Walker sent Detectives Frank Holbrook and Thomas Malone to capture the murderer. In the de- partment automobile they were whisk. ed to the house to find Percy H. Peck, who had made a bad job of trying to beat his wife. He had taken an um- brella and bending it double, used It as a club when his wife refused to give him money to purchase drink. He was laid out when the police arrived.
 Peck was locked up and the wife, Jennie, subpoenaed as a witness Ir the city court the affairs of the couple were aired and after Judge F. A. Bart lett had severely reprimanded Peck he imposed a 60 days jail sentence but suspended execution. The couple left the court room arm in arm.
