Frauds Suspected, Ballots Are Guarded

New York, Nov. -suspicions of fraud in the count of the ballots in all closely contested states have started the legal machinery of both the Dem ocratic and Republican parties to pro- tect their respective interests.
 The Department of Justice already has sent special agents into several of the pivotal states; the Democrats have retained John B. Stanchfleld, and the Republicans George w. Wicker sham, Taft's Attorney General.
 Conferences of the big leaders at Republican National Headquarters as to the methods to be pursued followed what seemed to be realization on the part of MT. Hughes's managers that final returns would show Mr. Wilson @ winner.
 Mir. Wickersham was placed in charge of the legal forces. His first definite step was to telegraph former subordtnates of his in the Department of Justice, now in private practice and residents of the states where the count may be questioned, to- prepare for 8 drive against the Democrats.
 To Spare No Expense.
 It seemed evident to observers at Republican headquarters that no ex- pense is to be spared in the fight to establish the Republican candidates

ballot, substituting another name for his. The legality of this procedure has been questioned by the Republi- cans. A somewhat similar case has arisen in West Virginia, where one of the Republican electors refused to run and the Republicans resorted to pastors in putting another name in place of his.
 Up to the time Republican head quarters here were closed soon after midnight the party leaders gathered there refused to concede defeat They seemed to base their confidence upon the assumption that Something might happen" in California MT. Hughes was told before he retired for the night that California had gone against him but he had no comment to make.
 Democratic headquarters were elec- trfied by the announcement of the result in California transmitted to Chairman Mccormick by The Asso- ciated Press. The chairman was es- pecia1ly gratthed because he had been vindicated in his prediction predic- ton that Wilson could be elected even if he lost New York, New Jersey, In- diana and Illinois.
 MT. Wilson Is the only President ever elected with the "solid east" against him. It was pointed out that while he would not have working majority" in the lower House. he would not have to combat g. majority inimical to his policies.
 MT. Hughes carried five New Eng land states, seven Middle Atlantic and TH~H ~e~&o the Pacific slope accorded to him so far being Oregon.
 In 1912 President Wilson carried forty states, with g. total electoral vote of l435. The other eight states and the 96 electoral votes controlled by them were distributed between MT. Taft and Col. Roosevelt MT Taft got two of the states and the Colonel six.
 Even if MT. Hughes should, as a remote contingency, carry all the doubtful states, his record of achieve ment in that respect would be far be- low that of any other President elect ed during the last forty years. In 1908, when the last straight-out contest between the two parties oc- cured, MT. Taft carried thirty-one states, with a total of 321 electoral votes
 In 1904 Col. Roosevelt carried tr,r- ty-f1ve states. with a total of 336 elec- toral votes.
 The largest state carried by MT. Wilson was Ohio, the smallest Nevada. MT. Hughes carried New York, Penn sylvania, New Jersey. Illinois, Massa- chusetts, Michigan, Indiana and Wis consin. The smallest state carried by MT. Hughes was Delaware, with three electoral votes.
 Another remarkable feature of the election Is that the Republicans ap- pear to have wrested the control ~

title to the Presidency through the agencies of the State courts, wherever there exists the slightest possibility of swinging the vote from Wilson to Hughes.
 Requests for recounts in all close states where the verdict stands for the President seems certain to be ade. National Chairman Wilcox in- hlcated this last night, when he said:
 There may be recounts in North Dakota. California and New Hamp- shire. It is not a question of President Wilson or MT. Hughes. Every vote should be counted as cast. That's what we contend"
 Democrats Are Prepared
 Chairman Mccormick of the Dem ocratic National Committee was asked last night what the committee pur- posed doing as to recounts and possi- ble fraud proceedings. He replied:
 We have first to be convinced that the count was crooked. If we are convinced of that in any case, we are going after it. If we have any sus- p1cion that an error or a mistake has been made wc will get right on the job. We are organized in every coun- ty to meet just such an emergency"
 During the day Alton B. Parker, former judge of the court of appeals, and Morgan J. O'Brien had called on the chairman and spent some time with him. John B. Stanchfield also had called, as he had on the day be- fore. Mir. Mccormick was asked about the visit of MT. O'Brien and MT. Parker.
 
 'They just dropped in to get the news and congratulate me-" he re- piled. He also said that possible legal complications were not discussed with MT. Stanchfeld, and explained that, so far as he could see, there was no need of engaging lawyers in New York.
 "Of course, there are members of the committee here who are lawyers, and there are lawyers in the organiza- tion everywhere. These instances of

 That President Wilson's election wall mot be conceded without a recount in kbe close states was the declaration o1 Republican leaders early today, after conferences lasting far into last night.
 Until President Wilson's victory was assured. the Democrats also were n,epasing to demand 8 recount in the 1o-called doubtful states. Alton B.

 Charges of attempts to tamper with Hhe ballot boxes in North Dakota have tbeen made in several sections of that state and have been laid before the federal district attorney by the United tEta*es marshal. Agents of the De- apartment of Justice have been mobil- hzed at points in other states.
 The Republicans contended. it was rstated unofacially today. that since the Democrats claimed California by a tmargin of only approximately 5000 Iout of nearly 100000 votes cast 1t Twas apparently that slight errors in Ia district here and there might change kthe outcome.
 The Democrats maintained, on the Lotier hand, that no charges of fraud had been made by State Chairman [Rowell. of tho Republicans in con- ceding the state to MT.

The eligibility of a I Democratic elector in Texas has been questioned because he is said to be an office holder and the federal laws prohibit a person holding office from serving as an elector.

CUBS GLAD TO GO EAST - SOX
COME HOME TOMORROW
BY Mark Shields

Manager Tinker and his Cub per-
formers are glad to get away from
home. They are confident that their
record on the road will be better than
at home. These unusual thoughts
are backed by the averages for the
season. If the Thinks had been obliged
to conduct THEMSELVES on the North
Side all year they might be in eighth
place.
Their recent stand against the
eastern teams on the North Side
showed improvement over the first
repulse of the seabOard gang. Sew
enteen games were played. One was
a tie and the locals copied seven,
while losing nine. A bad start was
made against the Braves, who took
three out of four. The Pills took a
split, Brooklyn tied one, won two
one being the famous forfeit-and
lost one. New York got two out of
five.
The Cubs played their best ball to-
ward the close Of the engagement,
the defense and attack both showing
marked improvement. The addition
of Workman at short had something
to do with this, as the youngster has
so far played major league ball, the
best shortstopping that has been
seen in the vicinity since Joe Tinker
himself was a regular.
It is increasingly evident that the
National league pennant is to go east.
The best a western team can hope for
is the lower berth of the first divi-
sion, and even this will be closed if
McGraw can get bit Of decent pitch
ing from his staff. Brooklyn has a
safe lead for the present, but the
Braves and Phils are pressing close
and are in a position to advance if
the Dodgers slip even momentarly.
Robinson is up on top because his
team furnishes a weI-balanced at
tack and his pitching staff is doing
