SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Nov 81,
That President Wilson's plurality
in California would not exceed 3.400
was the estimate of the republican
state Genital committee today. The
official count is yet incomplete. The
republican committee. basing its esti-
mate on the official returns from fif-
ty counties and on semi-official re-
turns from the other eight counties.
said Wilson's plurality would be
3,415 votes.
Secretary. McAtee of the commit
tee, said unofficially, that this was
merely an approximation. but that
he believed it would be close to the
final official figures. McAtee also
said that he is convinced that there
is mo- chance for q split in the states S
electoral vote. although he believed
that there would be a considerable
difference between the highest and
lowest republican and democratic
electors.
Secretary of State Jordan, mean
while, was rushing the official tabu-
lation of the vote at Sacramento.
and expects to have the tabulation
completed and certified to the gov
ernor by November 80 as required
by law.
Thirteen counties yet remain to be
tabulated. Work was resumed to-
day and so far the secretary OF
states clerks have found no errors
