tary McAtee of the republican state

scattering returns from precincts in all

McAtee had declared earlier that Will

that his majority would probably reach
2500OO.

Preliminary indications were that
the republicans had won one of their
biggest fights in electing the two re-

democratic ones in Indiana. Another
gain was certain in New York, where

where the result still is is doubt"
Because of the tremendous interests
in the presidential race, counting of
ballot in the congressional race was
general sidetracked, but among the in
teresting features established in the
count so far is the fact that there
will be at least two socialist congress

Hughes Awaits Word
From Democratic Chief

New York, Nov. AT $3.50 TONIGHT
Governor Hughes was awaiting word
that National Democratic Chairman
mccormick conceded his election be-
lore issuing statement.
Everything indicated complete con.
fldence and joyful assurance at the
Hughes headquarters. The only thing
that restrained Hughes from issuing a
statement was the refusal of the demo.
cratic leaders to conccde a republican
victory in the nation.
The crowds flocked to, the eighth
floor Of the Hotel Astor where Hughes
headquarters arc located, and it took n
strong guard of private detectives ia
prevent a rush being made by the
tnrong seeking to offer congratua-
tions.
Miss Dorothy Radlcy, niece of w.
I. Muschenheim, manager of the hotel.
presented an enormous bouquet of
flowers to Hughes. Mrs. Hughes, her
three daughters and Charles Evans
Hughes, Jr., joined in the congratula-
tions.
Red fire was burned on the roof of
the Hotel Astor and two enormous
flags were unfurled in the combined
glare of battery of searchlights.
Hughes did not order dinner until he
had heard the result in New York
state. Then, obviously confident that
the result in The nation would be favor
able, he ordered dinner to be served
to the family in the private dining
room of his suite. From the table, as
they dined, they could see returns
flashed on electric sighs in Broadway.
Newspapermen in the hotel corridor
could hear the laughter and expressions
of delight as they read the bulletins.
AT 1l:l0 O'Clock Broadway in front
of the Hotel Astor was iammed with
hilarious, bowling mob of fully 10000
people calling upon Hughes.
A delegation from the republican
club visited the Hughes suite on the
eight floor of the hotel and requested
Hughes to make an address from the
hotel balcony but up to l1:l5 o'clock
he had refused to make any statement
or leave the seclusion of apartments.

tanning cheerful good humor in the
face of almost continuous unfavorable
returns from today's election, Pres
ident Wilson decided tonight to with
hold any statement on the vote until

out the evening with Mrs. Wilson, Miss
Margaret Wilson and his cousin, Miss
Helen Woodrow Bones. Now and then
he called Secretary Tumulty on the
telephone to get any reports from the

1t is admitted here that only a
