hibition, and sixty per cent of
the population of the country
have now voted for prohibition.

defeated, and Idaho, which has
statutory prohibition, has enact
ed prohibition constitutions

The statement gives the Mich
igan dry majority as 10000
the dry vote in Idaho as two

Mr.. Hughes. with his wife,
has been at Lakewood since Fri
day, having come from New
York to take a rest, following
his strenuous activities during
the campaign. National Chair
man Wilcox accompanied Mr.
Hughes to Lakewood, and re-
turned to New York yesterday.
1t has been generally known
that Mr.. Hughes himself prac
tically conceded the reelection
of President Wilson two days
after the election and was read
to send the customary telegram
of congratulations from the loser
to the victor. He was dissuaded,
however, by Chairman Wilcox,
who commended that the closene>s
of the California vote might f.
ually turn the tide to the Repub.
1ican candidate. AS late as
Tuesday in New York, to which
city he returned on that day,
Mr.. Wilcox denied that Mr..
Hughes had even considered
sending the telegram, and that
it might be weeks before the
victory of President Wilson
would be conceded.
No statement was given out
by Mr.. Hughes other than the
telegram to President Wilson.
