he seemed to most of the Republican
delegates at Chicago to be the only

duty-of bringing the Progressives
back into the fold--was the princi-
pal thing moving him to leave his tu-
dicial robes.
Mr.. Hughes married on December
D. 1883. Miss Antoinette Carter. who

heavy Republican gains In Cincinnati
and failure of Democrats to count
heavily in Cleveland lead Republican
headquarters to claim Hughes has "a
chance to carry the State.
Wilson will carry Cleveland by 90
600, 1t is estimated while in Toledo
his plurality will be around 5000.
Akron furnished a Wilson plurality
estimated at 5000, but Republicans
declare that the rural vote, which has
not yet been heard from. will more
than offset the Democratic pluraliues
in the larger cities and that Hughes
will win In Ohio by a small vote.
Democrats had figured on carrying
Cleveland by 10000. while 1t was be-
heved Hughes would get only $4,000
plurality in Cincinnati. Republican
gains In the southern Ohio city and
Democratic losses in Cleveland are ex-
pected TO swing the State for Hughes.

advantage for Governor Willis over

IN NEW
YORK MAKE CLEAN SWEEP

New York, Nov. THE Repub
licans made a clean sweep OF New
York State with Governor Whitman
running ahead or Hughes, and william
Calder. United States senatorial. can
dtdate. far ahead Of his running mates
From incomplete returns the follow
ing pluraiitef are estimated:
Hughes over Wilson, $4,000.
Whitman over seabnry, 5000
Calder over McCombs, $4,000.
The vote indicates without doubt
that the next state government will
be constituted as follows:
Governor, Charles S. Whitman.
Lieutenant overnor,' Edward Schoe-
neck.
Secretary OF State. Francis NJ. Hugo.
Comptroller. Bugone nj. Travis
Treasurer, James l. Wells.
Attorney General. Egbert Woodbury..

The upstate counties rolled up the
old fashioned Republican majoritiea,
appa rently forgetting the dark days Of
1912 and the rift In the party ranks
In New York city Wilson fell far be-
hind the expectations OF his campaign
managers and other Democratic lead
,-rs. The indications from incomplete
returns are that he will carry the city
by 10000 Brooklyn gives 5000 Of
this plurality. Queens is In doubt,
though the Republican managers
claim u small plurality for Hughes
The other three counties Of the
Greater City, New York. Bronx and
Richmond. were carried by Wilson.
Judge Seabury ran behind his ticket
in the city. Though President Wilson
carried Brooklyn by approximately
6 geo Whitman carried the county by
something like 5000
Seabury's plurality in the entire city
will be In the neighhorhood OF 10000.
The surprising thing about the Will
son vote in New York city is that in
the Republican districts Wilson made
big gains. but his pluralities fell of
in the Democratic strongholds.
Albany County the domain OF Boss
Barnes. arch foe OF Hughes since the
days when Hughes as Governor made
war on the race track gamblers. rolled

prediction estimates the Republican
campaign managers had conceded Erie
