There seems to be little doubt that

the Republicans had counted upon,

NEW YORK AND ILLINOIS GIVE
BIG MAJORITY FOR RE-

New York, Nov. S.-Early this
morning the returns, while still incom-
plete, made Wilson reasonably certain
of 232 votes in the electoral college
and seemed to give Hughes 21S. There
were 81 votes still in doubt, 266 being
required for an election.
These states were counted for VIII
son: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas,
Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi Mis-
souri,, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada,
North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee,

For Hughes were claimed: Connec-

Massachusetts. Michigan, New Jersey,
New York, Pennsylvania Rhode Island,
South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin
and Wyoming. Total, 21S.
At Sis a. m. returns from Chey-
enne took Wyoming from the Hughes
list and placed its three electoral
votes in the doubtful column, with
Wilson leading.

tanned, would give him the state by u
safe margin
Missouri also is in doubt. Hughes
has a lead in st. Louis, while Wilson
was ahead by about the same amount
in the country districts.
Minnesota was claimed by both the
Republican and Democratic managers.
The incomplete returns showed a tre-
mendous slump in the normal Repub-
llcan vote in the state. The result
apparently is close.
