votes are read to the joint session. the
 statutes give the right to any member
 of either. house to object, the ob5ec-
 tions to be considered in separate ses-
 sion. Where only one return has
 been made from a state congress can.
 not overturn the certified result, ex-
 cept the two houses concurring may
 reject any vote where it appears not
 chosen electors. Where more than
 one certificate for a state has Eeen
 sent, the vote of those electors who
 the two houses shall concurrently de-
 eide have been supported in con-
 test by the proper state authorities,
 Where there has been no determine
 tion of a contest by state authori-
 ties and there is more than one cer-
 tificate returned the choice as to
 those properly selected is with the two
 houses. If the two houses disagree the certificate signed by the execu- tive of a state concerned shall be
 binding and the votes so certified counted. What Constitution Provides. The constitution provides that where an election is thrown into the house a selection must be made by the fourth of March from the election. but this apparently is intended only to cover cases where there is tie ana whether it applies to those where there IS d ul6puI6 ONOE CiOOiOA6 VAL a state or states is not clear.
 Final Canvass.
 Should contests and recounts over Tuesdays elections, before state can- wasting boards or in state courts. con- sume such time that the governors would be unable to certify the final re-. suit by the time congress meets In tFebruary, 1t was believed 1,y legal ex- perts here that the final canvass could l be held open until March 4 and that . I selection would be made at that time. State Jurisdiction.
 Upon the question of state jurisdic-. ton over choice of electors, several cases have been before the supreme court but apparently none directly on the question of jurisdiction over re- | count of such electoral votes. In 1890, 1 in a Virginia case. upon prosecution for fraudulent voting for electors, Jus tice Gray said the only powers Of the. federal government with regard to the appointment or the votes of presiden- | tial electors "are those which author | ize congress to determine the time and the day Of which they shall give their votes and which direct that certificates of their votes shall be opened by the president of the senate in the presence | of both houses and the votes be then counted. Although electors are ap-s pointed under the constitution they are no more officers or agents of the Unit ed States than are members of the state legislatures when acting as elec-l | tors of federal senator's"
 In the Hayes -Tilden contest of 1876. before a joint congressional commis- sion, it was held that the states and not the federal government, provide | the means for verification of the re-
 turns on votes cast for electors.

 STUDYING ELECTION RETURNS
Held Conference With Wilcox and
 Others of Campaign Committee.

New York, Nov. g. - Charles B. Hughes spent today much as he did yesterday, studying election returns. The nominee and his wife remained in- doors all day except for two hour motor ride in the afternoon, but de- c1ded to relax the vigilance of their watch tonight and went to a thea tre.
 Nnr Hughes day was punctuated by conferences with William R. Wilcox, the republican national chairman, George W. Wickersham and Everett Colby and George W. Perkins of the republican campaign committee. Mr. Wilcox assured the nominee of his conviction that full returns would show the success of the republican ticket. To this Mir. Perkins added as- surances that California, Minnesota and New Mexico undoubtedly would be found in the republican column aft. CT the court had been completed
 MT. Wickersham declined to con- ment on his visit to the nominee. as ! did ME Colby. The former said he was present merely as @''as volunteer helper" Mir. Wilcox on leaving, said there probably would be recounts in all the states where the vote was close and that he would do all that was necessary to safeguard our interests p Another subject mentioned at the conference with the nominee was the possibility that California might df- vide it's electoral vote, as in 1912 At that hour the returns from the state were closer than at any previous pe- ric;l of the day. That contingency, however, was regarded as a possibili- ty rather than probability.
 For the first time in three nights, the nominees personal staff was given an opportunity to get a full nights rest. MT. Hughes dismissed them all when he went to the theatre and smilingly instructed them not to re- turn until tomorrow. He declined to discuss the situation, saying he pre- ferred to say nothing until the returns from the doubtful states were all in
