DENVER, Nov. s. = Additional re- turns today continued to pile up an overwhelming lead in Colorado for Will son. and the figures indicated a ma jority of the democratic state candi- dates had been swept into office on the heels of the presidential vote although by smalle1. pluralities.
 CharlesN0 Timberlake, republican, of the second district, appears to have been reelected as were Benj. C. Hil- Hard, Edward Heating and Edward T Taylor, democrats.

 A big upset of the election was the apparent defeat of Casimiro Barela, of Las Animas county, known as Colo rado's perpetual senator" He has been a member of the upper house consecutively since the states admis sion to the union in 1876. and was a member of the territorial legislature.

perbans a Huohes EIector

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. S.-There ap- pears to be a possibility, although President Wilson carried Washington, Hughes may get one of the seven elect oral votes of Washington. The death of A. Stream, democratic elector, shortly before election and the sub stitution of E. M. Connor as elector came so late that in many counties the name of Stream rather than of Connor appeared on the ballot. It is said that thousands of voters voted for Stream and that these votes will be invalid and the difference may be sufficient, according to local republi
 cans, to give one republican elector a plurality.
