BOTH HOPEFUL
In CALIFORNIA
Continued from page l

following statement at late hour last
night:
Figures gathered by this Office, COW
ering more than one thousand pre-
cincts, and careful estimates Of the re-
naming precincts of the county, indi-
cate that Hughes will carry Los An
geles County by $4,000. This Office es-
Inmates that this lead will be increased
1900 by the other seven Southern
California counties.
Claim State for Hughes
"If these estimates prove true,
Hughes will carry California. Our fig
ures indicate that Wilson's majority
above the Tehachepi (the dividing line
between Northern and Southern Cali
formal will be not more than l7,0OO.'
Registrar Zemansky Of San Fran
cisco, reputed one Of the keenest po-
litical observers in the state, estimates
that Wilson has carried California by
from S,OOU 10 lO,OVO.
The bitter fight between Governor
Hiram Johnson, now Senator-elect on
the Republican ticket, and the "Stal-
warts" or Reactionary Republicans. is
the direct cause of the Republican
weakness in California. which may re-
suit, if the state finally is shown to
have gone for Wilson, in the defeat o.
Charles +. Hughes for the Presidency
As Governor, Johnson built UP a
powerful political machine. Then
came the Progressive movement. which
he joined, heart and soul, accepting
the Progressive nomination as running
mate with Theodore Roosevelt in 1912.
Factions Appeal to Hughes
When Hughes made his first West
ern trip, early in the campaign. the
primary fight in California was in full
swing. Both sides did their utmost ia
induce Hughes 10 give them his sup
port. It was in avoiding the appear
ance of taking sides that the Presiden-
tial nominee made his tour through
the state without meeting Governor
Johnson, although just before starting
back East they were within a stones
throw of each other for some hours.
Johnson's followers in California re-
scented this bitterly, and the returns
indicate that thousands of them voted
for Wilson as a rebuke to Hughes for
his slight to their hero. For Johnson

HUGHES WILL GET
ESQ VOTES, SAYS WEEKS
Doubtful States for Republicans,
the Senator Declares

United States Senator John W.
Weeks, of Massachusetts,, stated In his
rooms at the Hotel Manhattan late
last night that he had received official
and private messages from states
which had been classed as doubtful and
that he was confident that Hughes
would have $50 votes in the electoral
college and President Wilson PSI votes.
There is every indication that Ore
gon,. North Dakota and New Mexico are
safely Republican" he said. an Min
nesota the returns from the rural dis
tricts have greatly diminished the lead
which President Wilson had earlier in
the day, and it is now predicted that

DO Not Concede Indiana
Although Hughes was leadlhe
Indiana by more than 5000, with only
382 Of the 3.l43 precincts IN the state
unaccounted for, the Democratic state
headquarters last night refused TO
concede the state The Republican
candidates for Governor and United
States Senator, with smaller number
of precincts reported, showed larger
pluralites than did Hughes.
According TO unofficial returns
Hughes has been in the lead in Indiana
ever since the tabulation of the vote
started. but his lead, ranging around
$4,000 early Tuesday night, had OWN
died last night TO little more than
5000. With Hughes in the lead all the
time, residents of Indiana seemed to
lose interest in this state, but swamp d

doubtful states. q,

Seattle, Nov. S.--Leading the entire
Democratic ticket President Wilson, on
the face of incomplete returns, has car
ried Washington by a plurality which
will probably reach $4,000. Seattle and
every large city of the state have been
carried by Wilson, who has dragged
Governor Lister through with him. ap-
parently by much smaller plurality.
Returns from 1885 precincts out of e.

Hughes, l0s,576. These are apparently
representative of the trend Of voting,
and there seems no chance for Hughes

The defeat of Daniel j. Riordan by
Montague Lessler in the 18th District
came as n big surprise TO Riordan's
Tammany friends Incidentally. New
York loses its only member OF the
House Naval Affairs Committee by this
result.
Tammany made up this loss in the
23d District, where D. c. Oliver was
elected over Representative William S.

Oglesby defeated B. L. Fairchild. who

Late returns from the LIST Washing
ton District, Seattle, indicated that the
solid Republican delegation from that
state might be broken by the election

This is so close, however, that it may
take the official count to decide.
Friends Of preparedness were de-
lighted with many Of the results in the
Congressional elections, especially the
defeat Of Tavenner and Buchanan, in
Illinois, and Warren Worth Bailey, in
Pennsylvania, but none was so helpful,
in their opinion, as the defeat of Finley
Gray, in Indiana. Gray Is a member Of
the present House Naval Committee,
and has always opposed any increase in
naval appropriations.

Wilson Strong in Cities

Wilson'S chief strength in Minnesota
has been in the three largest cities
St. Paul. Minneapolis and Duluth and
in few Of the counties in the extreme
northern part Of the state; ne re i.
in no county outside of the two cities
has been anything but close, and for
this reason the Republicans pre-e
ton claims of $4,000 majority have
failed, although the leaders seem . ac.
curately to have picked the couhties
they would carry for Hughes: ~
large cities ran true to prediction, Civ
ing Wilson about $4,000 plurality !,
This has been absorbed by the steady

nant this year faded when Boston twice
defeated Morans team today, the score
being to 8 and to /. while Brooklyn
