WHICH WOULD
 SPLiT CALIFORNIA; VOTE.
If Total of Highest Republican Elector Exceeds That of Lowest Democratic.

San Francisco, Nov. 14.-Whether the highest vote for republican cleo tor in California was greater than the lowest vote for a democratic elector to California politicians tonight If this should prove to be the case, the states delegation in the electoral col lege may be split. The republicans admittedly unearthed nothing in the course of the day to indicate for or against such prospect
 Sidney M. Van Wyck, Jr., chairman of the democratic campaign committee, worked all day bringing in reports from little counties in the mountains where the county clerks had finished their count, and also succeeded in getting one or two fair sized counties His total for 20 counties showed that the totals for the lowest democratic elector in each county added 6.466 votes more than the totals for the highest republican elector in the same counties, This count would show, when completed, the Wilson electoral vote at its lowest ebb, MT. Van Wyck said.
 That is to say. if the lowest demo- cratic totals are finally ahead of the highest republican totals, a solid dele gation in the electoral college is as sured. If the highest republican totals exceed the lowest democratic totals, this will not necessarily indicate that any republican elec1or wins, because the lowest democrat and the highest republican are not the same in all counties.
 Republicans and democrats alike manifested surprise at rumors, trace able in all cases to the east, that a considera ble error had been found somewhere in the state counting the votes.
 The mistake as reported would have to be in San Francesca, Alameda or Los Angeles county, said MT. Van Wyck. Tt is in none of them and so far as we have been able. to learn it does not exist. The final count will show no material change"
 Reports from republican headquar- ters Were similar.

MALE AND FEMALE WORKERS
 IN JAPAN ARE ORGANIZING.
President of Laborers' Friendly Society
 of Japan So Tells A. P. of L.

Baltimore, Nov. 14.--Male ana female workers in Japan are taking up the organized lahpr movement with vigor, Bunji Suzuki, president of the Labor CTS Friendly society of Japan, today told the convention of the American Federation of Labor. During the last eight months, he said, the membership of the society he represented had in creased from 10000 to 30,000.
 Some Americans" the speaker con- tinued, "have mistaken ideas regarding Japanese laborers on the Pacific coast of the United States. These Japanese have come to realize your ideals and are rapidly approaching your standards of living. As a result of my inveSti' gations of the conditions of Japanese laborers on the Pacific coast I found that they are not only on equal terms with American worlmen but in some cases they are receiving higher wages than their American comrades.'
 The federation delegates were urged today by Thomas A. Stevenson. frater- nal delegate to the convention from the trades unions of Canada, not to in dorse any legislation providing for government investigation and settle ment of industrial disputes. He said that similar law in the Dominion had caused so much dissatisfaction that the trades unions and labor congress of Canada had voted nearly unani- mously to apply to the next session of the Dominion parliament for repeal of the industrial disputes and investiga- ton act.
 President Gompers today received a telegram from Marcus A. Marks, pres ldent of the borough of Manhattan, with reference to the proposed daylight saving scheme. He referred it to a committee which probably will report on the matter to the convention.

Thomas, president of the Le- high Valley Railroad. will be submit ted tomorrow, recommending that while the roads should not antagonize the movement, they should not agree to the plan until it has been preVt- ously adopted by the principal busi- ness and municipal centers, together with the state and local authorities" Individually, many of the railroad presidents favor the plan, according to

Slight Change in
 California Count
NOT MORE THAN TEN VOTES ONE
 WAY OR THE OTHER
MINOR GAIN - LOSSES
Secretary of State McAtee Announces There Are No Indications of Notable Divergence From the Unofficial Count.

San Francisco. Nov. f4.-"The com pleted count for California will not show a difference of more than ten votes one way or the other from fig ures already given on the presidency" :" Sidney M. Van Wick, Jr., chairman of the democratic campaign committee, announced here late today. He based his assertion on examination of re- turns from all counties in which the county clerks have completed their work.
 Gains and Losses Counterbalanee
 Minor gains and loSses-Seldom more than a dozen votes in a precinct, thus far have counterbalanced each other, MT. Van Wick said. He prom ised a set of figures tonight.
 At the headquarters of the republl- can presidential campaign committee it was said that returns from six coun- ties indiacted that sinterest centered entirely in the divergence between the vote for top and bottom electors on the tickets. No predictions, it was said, could be made as to what this might amount to.
 "We have no startling information of any sort" said Sylvester McAtee, secretary of the committee. There are no indications of notable diver genceS from the unofficial count. We are simply counting to see what the count develops"

 In the drive the British thus far have taken more than 5000 Germans pris- oners and according to the latest re- port. more captives are being brought in.
 Aside from the gains in the Ancre region, the British also have made an advance to the east of the Butte de Warlencourt, abolt three miles south east of the important town of Ba- paume. To the south of the Somme the Germans are busily engaged in smelling French positions in the re- zion of Pressoire and on the sector of Biaches la Maisonnette with the French vigorously replying. On the remainder of the front only lombard ments have occurred.
 With comparative quiet still reign ing on the Russian and Austro-Italian fronts, the Rumanian and Macedonian theatres continue the focal points of interest. The Austrians near OrZova and the junction of the Austrian, Ru- manian and Serbian frontiers have cleared the right bank of the Danube

 The situation in Dobrudja still re- mains to be clarified. Just what the Russo -Rumanian troops and the forces of the central powers are doing there is not known. Berlin, Petrograd and Bucharest say merely that the situa- ton is unchanged.

DEPORTATION OF BELGIAN
 CIVILIANS INTO GERMANY
Has Reached Serious Proportions
 State Department to Protest.

Washington, Nov. 14-Deportat1on of Belgian civilians into Germany for forced labor has reached such serious proportions that American Charge Grew at Berlin has been directed by the state department to take the mat ter up personally with Chancellor Von Bethmann- -Hollweg. The charge was requested to say that such deportations could not but have a most unfortunate effect. on neutral opinion, particularly in the United States, which has the welfare of the Belgian civilian popu- lation very much at heart.
 The instructions, it was learned to- day. grew out of a long report rom Charge Grew in which he stated that he had discussed the situation lnIor- mallv and unofficially with Under-Sec- retary of Foreign Affairs Zimmerman The latter admitted that a definite pol icy had been adopted to enforce the Ia bor of Iialgians in cases where they would net work voluntarily, on the ground that so many refused to Work as to make a strain cn pubic charlty intolerable.
 The deportations are viewed here law. but in a degree as a violation or Germany's assurances to Ambassador Gerard last June, which, though relat- ing to the 20, 900 French women and girls deported from Lille, Roubaix and Tourcoing, are felt to be applicable to the Belgian situation.
 At that time when MT Gerard had gone to general headquarters in Trance to discuss the attack on the sussex with Emperor William, assurances were given by the Germans that no further deportations would be made: The ease of the Belgians is considered identical in principle.

IA. - President Wilson blamed middlemen for the high cost of foodstuffs here tonight in a speech welcoming to Washington the convention of the National Grange. the first formal speech he has delivered since the election.

 "We ought to raise such big crops that circumstances like the present can never recur when men can make as 1t the supply was so short that the mid dleman could charge for 1t what he pleased. It will not do to be niggard- " with the rest of the world in respect to it's food supply"

His address was in- terrupted frequently by applause from the farmers attending the fftieth an nivetsary celebration of the founding of the grange.

TO PROBE USE OF MONEY
 TN PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
Definite Plans Made by Administration
 Leaders for Action in Senate.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Defnite plans were laid by administration leaders to- day for having the senate begin an investigation as soon as congress con venes of the use of money in the last presidential campaign. Several sena- tors have discussed the question with officials of the administration and It was said tonight that beyond question, the investigation will be held.
 Suggestions were made that Presl- dent Wilson might mention the sub ject in his next annual message 10 congress in recommending passage or a corrupt practices act, but some ofn- cials thought he would take the posi- ton that he should leave the question to the senate in view of the fact that he himself was a candidate. Senator Reed of Missouri will confer wit hthe president tomorrow and the question may be brought up at that time.
 As outlined by officials today the investigation will be very thorough and will include the cross examina- tion of wealthy men supposed to have made campaign contributions, as well as of the men in charge of the spend ing of money raised for the campaign.

CABRERA REPuDIATES
 PLAN OF BORDER CONTROL
Which Had Been Agreed on by the
 Mexican-American Commission.

Atlantic City, N. J.. Nov. 14.-Repu- diation by Luis Cabrera today of a plan of border control that had been agreed on by two of his colleagues and the three American s representatives again has made doubtful the ability of the Americans on the Mexican American joint commission to assist Mexico in its efforts to restore normal conditions along the frontier.
 The Am ericans were hopeful tonight that they might yet induce the Mexi- cans to agree to what they believe will be a satiifactory plan for the pro- -tectiou of fife and property along the boundary, but it was indicated by those in touch with them that further opposition, chara racterized as quibbling, would not long be tolerated.
 There appeared reason tonight to believe that unless tre chairman of the Mexican commission adopted a more tractable manner he and his associates would be informed that further con sideration of Mexico's social, economic and military problems must come to an end.
