New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1916-11-08
Early Returns Indicated Landslide for Mr..
Hughes But Later Figures Cause
Wilson Stock to Soar.
BOTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORY
City of New Ulm and Five Other Precincts in
Brown County Give Republicans
Plurality of $685.

Both the Democrats and the Repub-
licans were still claiming" the cleo
ton of their candidates for President
of the United States at an early hour
this morning.
According to a United Press wire
received at o'clock, Chairman Wilcox
of the National Republican Committee
was claiming the election of Hughes
by majority of one in the Electoral
College, while Chairman Vance McCor-
mick of the Democratic Committee
claimed twenty for Wilson. The result
in Indiana was in doubt and the state
was claimed by both parties.
Wisconsin as gone overwhelmingly
Republican, with Milwaukee leading, the
German-American vote in that city
turning almost solidly to Hughes.
New York, Ohio, Illinois, Connecticut
and Iowa are all Republican by large
majorities.
President Wilson retired at 1890,
having been assured by his campaign
managers that he had been safely elected.
Kansas has probably gone Republican
by close margin.
Oklahoma gives Wilson a plurality
of 5000.
At one O'Clock it was reportedSby the
press wires that the Democratic news
papers of New York City had conceded
the election of Hughes.
The city of Mankato gave Hughes
a majority of 259 While the returns
from Blue Earth county were very meagre
it was estimated that the Republicans
had carried it by from 900 to 800.
Both branches of Congress mall like
lihood, will have Republican major
tiles.
Montana returns, altho meagre, in
Dictated that the state had gone Demo-
cratic. No returns were received af-

ter | o'clock this morning from that
section of the country.
Minneapolis and St. Paul gave Will
son an 5000 lead but the few available
figures from the country districts in
dictated that the lead would be gradually
reduced and the state might be listed in
the doubtful column until the very
last precinct is heard from.
Brown and Redwood Counties have
given the Republican nominee large
majorities, his plurality being estimated
last night at $50. While returns from
most of the townships have been very
slow in coming in, the figures at hand
at 4 o'clock. this morning indicated
that the plurality for Hughes would be
several hundred. The two largest cities,
in the county, New Ulm and Sleepy
! Eye were carried by the Republicans.
Springfield had not been heard from up
to late hour.
Kellogg has evidently been elected
over Lawler for United States Senate
by an overwhelming majority.
Brown County returns indicate that
Praxel of Lamberton has defeated
Hauser of Sleepy Eye by safe major
ity.
One OF the surprises of the election was
the astonishing vote piled up by Van
Lear, socialist candidate for mayor Of
Minneapolis. The election has been
one of the most holly contested in the
history of the Mill City and it would
seem at this time that Van Lear leads
Langum, Non-partisan, by several thou
sand.
Brown County returns as received
at the Review office up to $50 this
morning will be found in the supplement
accompanying this issue. Later returns
will be posted at the Review flee
during the day.

Dos
oners, together with the recovered
property, to New Ulm, after they had
been turned over to him by the St. Paul
police department.
Negro On Stand
After Attorney Newman had made
plea for the release of Henderson and
Burns, which Justice Henningsen said
he would take under advisement,
G. H. Jones, colored, Pullman sleeping
car conductor, testified that Henderson
and his wife boarded his car at Fort
Dodge, Iowa, on the night of October 10,
and came to St. Paul, arriving there on
the following morning. He said he
was sure of the date, and when County
Attorney Frederickson asked him how
he remembered, he said:
"Yuh see, Boss, Use running extra,
anil said to de odder porter, What yuh
tink of dis, Use got an extra on
Friday, de 10; what yuh tink of dat?'
Suah, Boss, knows it was de right date"
The woman purporting to be Robert
Henderson's wife, followed Jones on the
stand. She said she and Henderson
came from Fort Dodge to St. Paul on
the night of the alleged robbery; that
she bought the railway tickets and paid
for them and the sleeping car berth.
She said they travelled as Mr.. and Mrs.
George Krause. She acknowledged in
answering question by the district
attorney, that she was not married to
the young prisoner. She had known
him about six months and had made
several trips with him.
Henderson Testifes
Henderson, on the stand said he was
10 years old, and insisted that he left
Fort Dodge on the night of October the
18th, and that he knew nothing of the
robbery and had never heard of Comfrey.
He said that Murphy's real name was
Arthur Henderson and that he was his
brother. He said they were brought up
in Fort Dodge; that his father and
mother both live there; that his fathers
name is J. G.. Henderson. The young
man acknowledged that he had been
convicted of theft at Marshall, Mimi,
and served a sentence of thirty-two
days in jail in default of paying a fine
of $42. so, and that he served two months
in jail at Window for grand larceny.
Attorney Newman made another plea
for the release of the two prisoners,
claiming there had been no evidence
to connect young Henderson and Burns
with the Comfrey robbery.
Goods To Be Returned
1t is said by the authorities that the
man who was held to the grand jury,
has admitted his guilt and will plead
guilty when arraigned before Judge
Olsen in district court. Detective Gott-
freid says he knows where the stolen
property with one or two exceptions,
is, and Attorney Newman has promised
that the goods, will be returned.

Springfield is enjoying real estate
boom. Land promoters have bought
chunk of farm land adjoining the city,
plated it into lots and are selling them
at auction. Residents are, buying the
lots at the rate of somewhere around
a thousand dollars an acre, affording
a profit to the promoters of several
hundred dollars.

The Germans point out that the
British admiralty was almost forced
to make false claims OF German
losses TO prevent the shock OF the
worst naval drubbing OF the war
from proving too heavy a depres-
sion on the English people.
When the claim of the British
that heavy German battleships were
destroyed is mentioned, German OF.
fcials smile blandly and ask:
why doesn't the British admir-.
atty name them? II should be easy
enough II they we're sunk. We were
not at loss to name the British ships
which went down"
The German claim that the pres

TREATMENTS
CONVENTION
is PROLONGED

Internal politics that keep the
question OF the date for the election
OF officers in the Brotherhood OF
Railroad Trainmen convention wav.
ering have aroused some bitter feel
ing among a number of delegates.
The contention OF the disgruntled
delegates is that supporters OF Presi.
dent w. G.. Lee want 10 get the
rules suspended and hold the cleo
tion before the committee on appeals
reports. their purpose being to avoid
any enmity TO the president that
might arise over adverse reports Of
the committee or any members APP
peal
The convention. which has been
in session more than two weeks. Is
the longest convention ever held in
