ELECTION RESULT
Still IN DOUBT
Continued From First Page)

Wilson How far the suffrage policy
of either candidate had entered into
the result was obscured.
In many O. the states the voting
was much delayed by long ballots
and the submission of local questions
and matters of initiative and refer
endum.
Because of that the result on suf-
frage and prohibition amendments
were obscured and probably will not
be known fully until late today.
In the meantime the race of the
presidential ballots is running on,
and it is the first time in 26 years
that the country has had to wait
over night to learn whom it had
chosen for it's president.
The Associated Press was not mis-
led by the returns in New York and
other eastern states Although the
important newspapers Of the city
were unanimous in their announce
ments that Hughes had been elected,
it was recognized by the Associated
Press election staff that Wilson could
win without New York. 1t declined
to make any prediction until actual
returns were received from the
doubtful states.
Uncertainty at Headquarters.
With the country's choice of a
president in the almost unprecedented
status of doubt on the day after cleo
ton both democratic and republican
headquarters were scenes of nervous
activity and tension. Although both
sides claimed majorities in the cleo
toral college, there seemed neverthe-
less to be a feeling at both places
there was a chance that the deter
mination Of the final result with so
many states doubtful might be pro-
lcnged perhaps for another day, and
there was some unofficial talk that
the decision might even be thrown
into the house of representatives.
There were suggestions also that
there might be in some states bitter
contests over the integrity of the re-
turns which might be drawn out for
days, with the result Ringing on a re-
count. George w. Perkins at repub-
lican headquarters, comm enting upon
the close vote in some states declared
that a recount might be necessary.
Chairman Mccormick early today
sent kilograms to every state and
county chairman where the result ap-
pears close commanding them to
"personally see that the ballot boxes
are guarded and protected"

Reports that Germany and Austria
Hungary would set up as an indie
pendent kingdom the parts of Poland
occupied by their armies were re-
oeived with interest by every one who
recalled the fact that Poland was
formerly a great and fourishing
kingdom and one of the most power
full in Europe. The news was es-
pecially interesting to the hundreds
scent in the United States. The an
nouncement said:
Germany and Austria-Hungary by
joint action proclaimed Warsaw and
Lublin the kingdom of Poland and
re-established the right of the Polish
live an independent national life and
to govern itself by chosen represen-
tatives Of the nation.
"a few days ago a Polish delega-
ton had called upon the imperial
chancellor, Dr.. Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg It's members were representative
Poles of all classes. all parties. all
ranks of society and all creeds. They
transmitted to the German govern
ment the wishes of the Polish nation
which now have been granted to
them.

Health Department Suspends One
Milk Dealers license.

Three offenders against health ord
inances were dealt with by the health
board at a short session last evening.
Two were milk peddlers and one a
dealer in meat. A. Maxim of Hart
ford avenue objected to the condem-
nation Of a carcass by Slaughter In
spector Witte. Maxim stated his case to
the health commission. but when the
meat was examined and DR.. Witte
told his side OF the case. the board
sustained his action.
Joseph Folk, a milk peddler. re-
ceived a warning from the board be-
cause his diary did not meet the ap-
prevail of the milk inspector. AS a
penalty his license was suspended for
three days. B. Bagdigian, another
milk man, erred by not having his
license plates displayed. He prom
ised to obey in future. The board
transacted routine business.

ITEMS OF INTERES TO WOMEN.

Black charmeuse with chinchilla
fur makes a most attractive robe.
Charming little skunk neckpieces
are finished with taupe velvet ends.
One Of the new hats is based upon
a shape worn by Napoleon's troops.
The cross-over fichu effect is seen
on some of the corsages Tor VelVet
evening robes.
A broad gold and silver ribbon is
used extensively as garhlture OH llahy
of the new hats.
r. Loose narrow belts, long easy
sleeves and odd cuffs are features Of
the new gowns.
GRAY and silver are charming COM
bire6 with dark green or night blue
in embroidery.
A great deal of gray is used in the
making of suits, and it is apt to
be trimmed with rabbit.
Bands of fur will be used in trim
ming, but they are not quite as fash

WILSON, SAYS WALSH
Western Manager for Democrats Ger
tain President Has Been Given Ma
jority in Electoral College.

Chicago, Nov S-Senator Thomas
J. Walsh. manager of the western
democratic national headquarters, de-
clared ct noon that he was positive
that President Wilson had been re-

tabulating these latest figures he de-
clared that President Wilson had

SENATE DEMOCRATIC
Incomplete Returns Give Party Ma
jority of Ten and They Cannot BE
Ousted From Power,

New York, Nov Slate returns
from Ohio indicate the reelection of
Senator Atlee Pomerene, democrat,
over Myron T. Herrick, republican,
virtually ended the possibility Of re-
publican ascendancy in the senate.
With demo cratic leaders insisting that
Hitchcock in Nebraska and Pittman
in Nevada have been reelected and
with Kendrick probably elected in
Wyoming, the political status of the
new senate would thus be; Democrats
So, republicans AZ, with the result in
Arizona and New Mexico still in
doubt Should the republicans carry
both, the dem ocratic majority in the
senate would be eight.
