Continued from Page u

electoral votes to Mr. Wilson by an es-
timated plurality of 10000,
In the state of New York the result
was both surprising to the Republic
! cans and disappointing to the Demo
Gratis. With the exception OF few
counties in the interior, the returns
showed a slump in the Republican
vote. The exceptions were Monroe,
Westchester, Chautauqua and a few
others, where record-breaking Repub-
lican maiorities were piled up
Monroe county gave Hughes, Whit.
man and Calder, Republican candi-
dates, the largest vote ever given to
nominees of that party. President
Wilson carried Troy, cut the Republi-
can vote in Erie county to its mini
mum and that OF Schenectady to 400
from 5000.
Judge Seabury, the Democratic can
dldate for governor, carried Schenecta-
dy by TO- In almost every instance
the vote of Hughes. Whitman and
Calder was pretty even.
In New York city the Democratic
vote was far below that confidently es-
timated by the leaders OF the party
The indications early this morning
we're that President Wilson would car

plurality over Mr. Hughes was esti-
mated at $4,000 in Manhattan 5000
in Brooklyn. 5000 in the Bronx and
1900 in Richmond. 1t seemed proba-
BILE at that hour that Mr.. Hughes had
carried the Borough OF Queens by

Mr.. Whitman IAN ahead of Mr..
Hughes in all OF the Boroughs and the
lead Of Judge Seabury over him will
not be far from 10000.
One of the surprises OF the contest
in the city was that Mr. Calder ap-
pears to have carried the five Dor
oughs, and the lead Of Judge Seabury

Carload Of Material for New Building
Lost in Transit.

Montpelier, Nov Wilbur A. Cla-
fin, inspector and engineer for the
architects, Densmore & LeClair, ar
rived Saturday from a trip to Buffalo
where he was sent to locate a car of
steel for the roof of the new state
building on which work has been de-
layed for, month because of its non.
arrival. For a week past work on the
building has been suspended in some
parts because the steel was not here
and in some other parts few men
were at work where they could be
employed.
When it was seen that some one
must be sent to locate the car and
hustle it through it's destination Mr.
Clafiin was selected He left on We'd
nesday and came in Saturday with
the car which was set off at Mont
pelier Junction and it was brought in
from that point during the day
He found, that the car left Niagara
Falls October 9th and was set off in
the yards at York, Ont. near Toronto
the 2Sth where it has been with some
$50 other cars which the railroad
company has been unable to move.
He was able to have the car moved on
Thursday after it was located and left
with it at 1885 that night. He was
two nights on the road. sleeping in the
caboose Mr.. Clafiin arrived mighty
tired but satisfied with what had been
accomplished. The gloom about the
state building was lifted Saturday
with his arrival and plans went for
ward to unload the steel and to re-
sumo work at once. The steel is for
the REINFORCED concrete on the roof.

FARMERS HOLDING UP
CROPS TO GET HIGHER
PRICES, EXPERT SAYS

New York, Nov. 18-An assertion
that western farmers underestimate
their crops in reports submitted to
the federal government and thereby
forced up the prices of wheat, pota-
toes, onions and cabbage, is the latest
contribution to the food investigation
here today. Charges are made by Jo-
seph Hartigan, commissi oner or
weights and measures and who has
just returned from a tour of 20 states
under instruction to determine the
reason for the high cost Of living and,
incidentally to complete arrangement
for a farmers congress-
Mr.. Hartigan's investigation con-
vinced him, he said, that the govern
ment estimate Of the wheat crop in
this country this year was based on
statistics furnished by the farmers.
who knowingly concealed at least 25
per cent of their wheat crops
According to Mr.. Hartigan, this
surplus has been held in reserve to be
dumped into a market, supposedly
short many millions of bushels, at a
price otherwise understandable.

ST. PETERS CATHEDRAL.

The first stone for st. Peters Cathe-
dral in Rome was laid in 1906, and 1t
was dedicated by Urban VIII. 900
years ago today, Nov. IS. 1926, having
been 100 years in the building. In
1916, 80 years after the laying Of the
foundation stone, Michael Angelo was
appointed architect, and he nearly
completed the dome and q large por-
ton of the building before his death
in 1864. The nave was completed in
1912, and the facade and portico two
years later. st. Peters is a cruciform
building. in the Italian style, and the
largest as we'll as one of the most
magnificent Of the churches of Christ
endorn. 1t occupies the legendary
site of st. Peters martyrdom. The
floor Of the cathedral covers nearly
five acres, and the cost of the great
edif1ce is estimated to have exceeded
$50,000,000. The interior diameter Of
the famous dome of st. Peters is 139
feet, and the exterior diameter 1875 n
feet. Its height from the pavement
to the top Of the cross outside is 448
feet. The length Of the cathedral
within the walls is 6131a feet.
