president Wilson
Having conferred by telephone dur

with the Republican state committee
and Republican national committeeman
in California I am informed that the
official canvass OF the vote has been
so nearly completed that no change
will result in the few precincts not
counted in the returns thus far com
piled.
This means that the majority for
the Wilson electors in California
ranges from about 1900 to 3s00 vote
and that this is the final result OF
the canvass for which we have been
waiting. So far as any recount Is
concerned, the national committee is
not advised that there are sufficient
grounds to call for such an applica

/ the California electors. despite the as
sertion of secretary OF state Jordan
late Wednesday that unless certain
mistakes and omissions in the returns
! from Yuba and Orange counties were
corrected. such certificates would not
be issued
Should this De done there would un-
doubtediy be = delay if not a serious
situation possibly affecting even the
reelection of president Wilson since
his election apparently depends on the
votes OF the 70 presidential electors
from California
Must Ascertain Vote Correct.
In order to straighten the legal tan
gle that has arisen over the election
returns from Yuba and Orange coun-
ties, the superior courts Of those coun-
ties must order the ballot boxes re-
opened and the count rendered COM
plete, in the opinion of James Crernin.
state sJatistician. who has charge OF
the official election canvass.
At the office of attorney general
Webb, the unofficial opinion was
voiced that the secretary of state could
not certify to the returns for the state
unless the vote Of every precinct was
found correct in the official canvass.
Withholding Vote Is Ridiculous.
Chester Fl ROwen. chairman of the
Republican state central committee in
a statement Wednesday night said:
whether there are such irregulari-
ties in the returns as to justify pro-
ceedingS in the courts is matter
which the state committee will have to
determine after consultation with
chairman Wilcox and the national
committee in New York. but certainly
the insignificant errors in two pre-
cincts discovered by secretary of state
Jordan would not justify him in per-
manently Withholding the certificates
Of election of the California electors
and thereby depriving California of its /
vote in the electoral college. Such a /
proposition is too ridiculous 10 dis /

 Start at 8 80 O'Clock

Tonight when Ivan Linow, the wild Cossack, meets Anton Irsa, the Bo- hemian giant, at the Jefferson thea tre, one of the best wrestling con- tests ever staged in Birmingham will be witnessed.
 Both wrestlers are men of wide ex- perience in the wrestling game and both are confident of winning. The local promoter will try to match the winner with Ed ("Strangler') Lewis
 The Birmingam wrestling fans who saw Linow at the baseball park last week have seen one of the best wrest- lers in the world in action. Linow be- fore taking up wrestling was in the fighting game. He has fought Jess Willard and men of his class, but quit the game In the fighting game he was Jack Leon.
 Experts claim today that if he could control his temper he would be the greatest wrestler in the world. He is 2S years of age, stands feet ? inches in Stocking feet and weighs 215 pounds.
 Anton Irsa, the Bohemian giant, has never been seen in action in Birming ham, He is a great specimen of man, weighing between 235 and 230 pounds Irso was matched here several weeks ago with "Strangler" Lewis, but could not make his date on account of other matches in the east. The match will start at S:30 o'clock.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
A Yirginian's View

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Sir it was with shame not unmixed with indignation that I read in your is- sue of this (Monday) morning what New New Decatur visitor says concerning the Birmingham reunion. Please allow a visiting veteran to say in reply there- to that he has attended many reunions at all which there were many features to be praised and few to be condemned, but at this reunion, so far as I personally know and gleaned from others, it was the most faultless meeting of the vets I ever attended. Every detail was looked after every want provided for. I was in the relief headquarters from illness two days and had the nurses and physicians there been my own brothers and sisters l could not have been cared for more ten- derly. As for the fling of the New De- catur man at the railroads, hotels, res- taurants. etc., he surely does not believe that such enterprises are run for the sake of health. But <. not to beg the question, the railroadsr acted most gen. erously. They only charged a cent a mile on many of the roads and if they made some money they deserved it. and. I for one. am glad they got it. No, MT. Editor, Birmingham is the imperial city of the south, too big for littleness of any kind, and it comes with an i'll grace for any son of Alabama to speak ill of it. Yours, DUVAL PORTER. .

VIGOROUS PROTEST SENT TO
 GREAT BRITAIN BY WILSON
,,,,.,,,,.,,,es,esssssesesse~

tices complained of in it's first note on the subject have been continued and that the American government must now in sist more emphatically that they cease.
 Staee department officials consider that the chief weakness of Great Britain's po- sition is her policy of taking neutral mali vessels into British Jurisdiction and sub hitting them to local censorship regula- tions. It is understood that it is on this point that the renewed protest is chief ly based.
 The British memorandum avoided this phase of the question. Rapid transmits sion was promised to true correspond ence," but the right to seize contraband sent in the mails was maintained.
 The Hague convention of 1907, the United States contends, guarantees the inviolability of postal correspondence, and the new note again points to the incon- veniences and actual money loss result ing from the continuance of the British policy of taking neutral mail vessels into British ports and there examining and detaining the mails. A mass of evidence has been collected showing the effects on American business of the British policy
