ment at republican headquarters in New

Mr.. Hughes has carried every north
ern state with the possible exception of
Ohio. The crux of it all Is that four
years ago Mr.. Wilson was chosen Presi-
dent in three-cornered fight. All the
world has since realized that if not after
four years of experience with him the
American people had deliberately chosen
him in two-sided fight, the rest of
the world undoubtedly would have
showed that America of today was not
the America of yesterday Therefore
the value of this verdict to the stand
ing and precedence Of American people
can scarcely be overestimated."

At s:25 pm. the Associated Press an
nounced:-
1.-The state of New York has been
carried for Hughes by plurality of
more than 100000. The indications are
that he also has carried Illinois and
Indiana by a like plurality.
1.-The returns from Ohio are INSULT
cient to determine the result in that
state.
"All of the New England states and
New Jersey, as well as Wisconsin and
Michigan, have been removed from the
list of doubtful states.
UNLESS there is landslide for
President Wilson on the Pacific slope
the election of Hughes seems certain"
Notwithstanding these reports, how
ever, Robert w. Woolley, director of
publicity of the democratic national
committee, announced at 1915 o'clock
that the committee claimed sos cleo
toral votes for Wilson. based on the
reports of state and county chairmen
from the New England, middle west
and northwestern states.
Mr.. Woolley, supplementing his state
ment, said:

vised the next day and the reputed re-

Many Conflicting Reports on
Situation Received Last
Night in Washington.
WHAT THE. LEADERS SAID

Reports of many interesting changes in
the election returns and many conflicting
reports on the situation were received in
Washington last night.
At sos Secretary Tumulty, at Asbury
Park, N. J., claimed the election of

ing the campaign, conceded the cleo
ton of Mr.. Hughes an hour before, and

ported the President. in its first extra
admitted that the President was from
$4,000 to 10000 votes behind Hughes in
Illinois on incomplete returns.
The New York Times also announced
Hughes had carried New York. New
England, Pennsylvania, Indiana, 1lli-
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Oregon, and
possibly also Ohio. Outside the

do not thus far indicate that Wilson

against him in a New York bout, the

WiIIard's affairs are handled by
Tom Jones, his manager, and Jack
Curley. His money is split three
ways. Curley is said to get 10 per
cent of all the money Willard earns.
His bit for the circus stunt, at the
rate of 10 per cent, would be $22,-
500 Curley would not even have to
travel around with the champion, but
sit in. New York, receive checks and
fatten his bank account. 1t is hard
to figure an easier way for picking
up $22,5O0.
Curley has power to keep Willard
out of match before the circus sea-
son starts. He has signed the cham
pion to box for him. All Curley
would have to do to keep Willard
from going into the ring to risk losing
his title by a chance knockout or
losing prestige by an unfavorable
newspaper decision, would be to fail
to come to terms with an opponent
for the champion.
Tex Rickard offered Willard $780,

ley went west to sign Willard for
Rickard. He announced, after talk
with the champ, that Jess could not

the situation here assumed a warlilxe
aspect today.
One battalion of the Eleventh
United States Infantry departed late
yesterday on a special train en- route
to Hachita, N. M, to assume border
guard duty. This movement was for
the purpose of leaving the American
cavalry detachment at that place free
of an attack from the Mexican side
of the international boundary.
Two companies Of the Sixth In
fantry left late in the day for San
Bernardino, eighteen miles east of
here.
The infantry contingent remaining
at Douglas was temporarily attached
to the Second Cavalry Brigade, un-
der command of Col. George A
Dodd, with headquarters here. Tele-
grams were sent to Washington, it
was understood, urging that Col
Dodd be placed in command of an ex-
peditionary force should one be sent
from here into Mexico.
A volunteer automobile company
was formed by citizens here today
and a large number of machines were
placed at the disposal of army Of
ficers for use in transporting soldiers
to any point they were desired.
