case.

BALLOTS CAST BY
GUARDSMEN MAY

50 Paul, Minn., Nov. 9.-The result
of the presidential election In Mime
sofa may not be known until the votes
cast by the state guardsmen on the
border are counted. This probably
will not be before next week. Ap-
proximately 1000 Minnesota guards
men were eligible to vote and commits
sioners are returning to the state with
these ballots In sealed envelopes to
be counted by the canvassing boards
in their respective precincts. No indi-
cation as to how these men will vote
has been given, although an unofficial
straw vote in one Of the four regi-
ments showed slight majority for
Wilson.
With less than 600 precincts to hear
from, the victory belonged to anybody.
Wilson was leading by plurality Of
about 500. but indications were that
this would be cut down as the later
returns came in from the rural dis
tricts. Several large counties. which
have been counted on as strong for
Hughes. were yet to be heard from.
The plurality either way will not reach
1000. 1t is predicted.
