ORDERS RETIREMENT
FOR GEN.. GOETKALS
War Department Acts Upon
Request of Governor Gen.
eraI of CaraI Zone.
effective NOVEMBER IS

An order issued at the War Department
today places Maj. Cen George w. Goe-
thals, governor general of the Panama
army, to take effect next Wednesday, No
vember Is. after forty years of service
That action was taken on the applica-
ton of Gen. Goethals With the approval
of the President and in conformity with
special legislation of Congress.
Although Secretary Baker said today
that no order had been issued retiring
Gen. Goethals of his civil function as
governor of the Canal Zone on the date
of his transfer to the retired list, it is
assumed that that course will be fol.
lowed as soon as the matter has been
brought to the attention of the Presi-
dent. In fact. Secretary Baker said
that 1t was for the President alone tc
say when Gen. Goethals shall be re-
lieved from duty as governor and who
shall be appointed to the vacancy thus
created.
1t rs known that Gen. Goethals de.
sired to be relieved from the governor
ship at the Presidents convenience and
to be transferred to the retired list OF
the army at the same time, in order
that he might take short rest and
then engage in other employment.
Col. Harding Now in Charge.
With that idea in view and at his
suggestion, Col. Chester Harding of the
Corps of Engineers. then Engineer
Commissioner of the District. was sent
to the zone as engineer of mainte-
nance Of the canal several years ago
in order to familiarize himself with the
situation generally, SO that he might
take up the duties of governor when
re1inquished by Gen. Goethals Col
Harding now is acting governor Of the
zone and undoubtedly will be appoint
ed as Gen. Goethals' successor as gov
ernor.
Gen. Goethals now is in this country
on leave of absence arranging for the
discharge of his new duties as chair
man of the eight-hour labor commits
sion recently appointed by the Presi-
dent to review the effects of the Adam
son bill. His retirement from active
military duty will in no way interfere
with the performance of those purely
civic duties.

Republican Chairman Does Not

RETURNS DO NOT DECREASE
LEAD OF THE PRESIDENT
Complexion Of Next Congress, Which
Is Still in Doubt, Cause
of Some Anxiety.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. November 11.-With Re.
publican National Chairman WILCOX
still awaiting the official count in close
states before conceding the defeat of
Charles e. Hughes in the national cleo
tion. the latest returns today in the
New Mexico and New Hampshire still
presented on their face no change af-
fecting the Presidents majority in the
electoral college.
Mr.. Wilson still led in California,
New Mexico and New Hampshire. and
Mr.. Hughes in Minnesota. with only a
few districts yet to be accounted for in
each state.
Later Chairman Wilcox gave out this
statement:
ing the cry of fraud nor is it going out
searching for fraud. We have received
any number of communications, signed
and unsigned, by telegraph, letter and
by telephone. alleging fraud from all
parts OF the country, but in all cases
the communications are referred back
by US to state officials for investiga-
tion.
THE national committee is simply in
the same position as state officials. who
are waiting for the result of the off,
cial count and whose duty it is to GER
tify what electors have been chosen"
Mr.. Wilcox added that he believed
there is much less opportunity for fraud
now than there used to be.
Concerned Over Congress.
President Wilson in williamstown,
Mass. was reported to be chiefly con-
cerned over the complexion of the next
Congress, which was still in doubt to-
day.
The Presidents plurality over Mr..
Hughes in the total popular vote, ac-
cording to the latest estimates. based
upon incomplete returns, is 403,312. His
total vote was S,563,713 and that Of Mr..
Hughes, S,16e, 4o1.
Chairman WILCOX Firm.
Chairman Wilcox was on duty again
at the republican committees head
quarters today. but said he had moth
ing to add to his statement yesterday in
which he announced that the re-elec-
ton of President Wilson would not be
conceded until after the official count
IN California, and perhaps other close
stated. Mr.. Wilcox sad he expected
to call on Charles z. Hughes during
the day.
George W. Perkins conferred yester-
day afternoon with Mr. Hughes. He
stated that no definite decision had
been reached by party managers in re-
gard to demanding a recount in Cali
fornia, New Mexico and North Dakota.
He intimated action probably would be
deferred until the official count in
those states was completed, in the
hone that there might be an overturn
of the comparatively slender Wilson
pluralities.

INAUGURAL CHAIRMAN
Being CONSIDERED
Recommendations Made to Demo.
cratic Committee Head-Presi-
dent Urged to Act.

Recommendations for the honor of be-
ing chairman of the inaugural committee
to have charge of the celebration in Wash
ington March were made today to Vance
Mccormick, chairman of the democratic
national committee. This was learned in
a long-distance telephone conversation
with the New York headquarters Mr.
Mccormick is expected to come to Wash
ington Monday, at which time he and
John F. Costello, the national commit
teeman from the District of Columbia,
probably will urge upon President Wilson
the desirability of promptly naming the
inaugural chairman.
There is no avowed candidate for the
position. Besides Robert n. Harper,
suggested yesterday, Charles W. Darr,
president of the District of Columbia
Wilson and Marshall League, is mem
toned.
Hotels Booking Reservations.
Proprietors of all the prominent Wash
inston hotels today continued to receive
inquiries regarding reservations for the
inaugural festivities. That this incom-
entire citizenship of the United States is
shown by the fact that not one of the
applications thus far has been for any
large party or political organization.
They are mostly family groups, and
these applications are received from all
over the country. but especially from
the far west.
Those familiar with the crowds at
previous inaugurations say the attend
ance from the west in previous years
has not been especially heavy. They
believe the inquiries show that the
western states which have swung al
most as a solid unit into the demo-
cratic column are going to take Wash
ington by storm and crowd into the
capital to celebrate the victory in
which they took SO conspicuous a part.
To Honor Miss Rankin.
Woman suffrage organizations are
understood to be making extensive
plans in the western states for organ
lied participation in the inaugural fes-
tivities.
II is said that there will be prob
ably q suffrage parade here in honor
Of the Congressmiss- elect Jean
nette Rankin, elected from Montana.
Suffrage leaders have received letters
and kilograms from organizations in
several of the woman suffrage states

ing of Congress March 4.
LAWS NOW IN GOOD SHAPE

President Wilson's reelection is gen.
orally understood in Washington to
mean that there will be no extra session
of Congress at the close of the coming
| short session.
The election of Hughes. it was con-
ceded, would have led to an extra ses-
sion for the revision the tariff and
other legislative changes to accord with
republican views.
Only serious changes in the relations
of the United States with foreign
countries or the unexpected from some
unknown quarter would produce ses-
sion or Congress next summer So far
as. the tariff is concerned the President.
in his campaign speeches. declared that
the democratic administration had safe
guarded the country against dumping
and disastrous tariff competition
believed to be competent to care for
the anticipated dangers after the end
ing of the war in Europe.
The President has, it is said, no rea-
son to change his mind on the tarin
for a while to come. at least The tar
iff commission provided by the demo-
Gratis will get to work in a short time
and this organization, together with
the antl-dumplnR law is TeSaTueu
as sufficient to care for the country s
interests until changing conditions de-
| mand important changes. The admin
istration, as well known, has also taken
the position that no sane man can now
tell what ought to be done with the
tariff and that only the future will in
dicate the course the democrats should
take on that question. The European
war may completely revolutionize ideas
as to tariff problems. according to many
democrats.
