GREAT ACTOR ON HIS DIGNITY

Theatrical Production.

With reference to fine discrimina-
ton in the use of the well-knewn Eng
fish language, 1t is possible to overdO
the thing.
Diving into the trunk of recollections
for the suitable illustration to adorn
this remark and point the moral, we
find it in Richard Mansfield's occupan-
cy of the Garrick theater in New York
lays of hilarity on that stage.
To Mansfield this theater was a tenn
pie. He tolerated no lightly spoken
references to II. One day, when an
attaehe reported, Mansfield gave in
structions and started for his dressing
room.
I'll see you after the show" said
the business lieutenant in parting.

actor-manager, with dignity. Are we

associate, humbly.

Mansfield. Are we ants?"
I'm very sorry" mumbled the
crushed manager; I'll see you after the
play, sir"
Il shall be pleased to see you theD,"
answered Mansfield.

Wilcox Demands Recount.
On Friday National Chairman Will
COX of the Republican party handed
out the following statement:
1.-THE result still depends upon the
vote in a few close states. 1t must be
borne in mind that the returns thus
far announced are, in most states, I'M
official, and may be changed by the
official co'sat required by the laws of
those states.
Twice during these unofficial COM
putations yesterday In California mis-
takes in additions were announced
from that state, substantially changing
figures previously given.
at is common experience that the
result of the official count almost al
ways varies from the returns first an
nounced.
Where the vote is as close as that
reported in several states, 1t may well
be that material changes will result
from the official count

all necessary steps to see that an ex-
act and honest count of the vote is
made. When the current seemed to be
running against Mr.. Wilson on Wednes-
day the Democratic managers an
nounced their intention to demand a
recount in every close state.
IAN We desire is to make sure that
the vote is counted as cast"

to a recount there was little likelihood

Republicans Demand Recount of Votes in Several
Close and Pivotal States
RECORD BREAKING INTEREST IN THE NEWS
Entire Nation Kept Suspense While Election Judges of Few
States Counted to the Last Ballot Before Result Was
KnoWn-Soder Vote Factor.

New York, Nov. lion the face o.
the returns, unofficial and still incom
plete, Woodrow Wilson has been re
elected president of the United State;
with majority of at least eleven IN
the electoral college. But the Repub
licans place cloud on his title that is
likely 80 remain for week or ter
days, and in the meantime the Repub'
licans are declining to pay their cleo
| ton bets.
The situation is extraordinary and
has resulted in days of nerve-racking
strain for the people of the country.
If the election officials of a few remote
precincts in few states know how the
nation has been waiting breathless to
hear from them, they must be swelled
up enormously with a sense of their
Importance. For on those few pre-
cincts has depended the nations choice
of its chief executive.
That Mr. Wilson's victory over Mr..
Hughes will not be conceded without a
recount in the close states, such as Cal
lfornia, New Hampshire, New Mexico
and North Dakota, was determined at
conferences of the Republican leaders
here. Chairman WILCOX asserted a re-
count would be demanded wherever
the margin of Democratic victory was
so small that comparatively few votes
would turn the scales. He and his as
sociates say they take the position
that there should be no cloud upon Mr..
Wilson's title to the presidency. The
Democrats, for their part, declared
that there must be q recount in New
Hampshire, even though the returns
gave the state to Mr.. Wilson.
That the returns are still incomplete
is due to the presence on the border of
the National Guard of a number of
states. TIE soldiers are permitted to
vote by mail, their ballots being for
warded to the auditors of their home
counties, and In Minnesota especially
the vote of the Guardsmen is likely to
cut figure in determining whether the
state goes into the Wilson or the
Hughes column.
Minnesota was as bad as California
in the matter of shifts, and as its dele
cation is nearly as large, it, too, was
watched with the intensest interest.
Through days and nights of counting,
the race was a see-saw, with but a
thousand or so of votes separating the
candidates. Neither side would ad-
NIT defeat, and even now both are
awaiting the soldier vote and the Off |
cial count.
New Hampshire a Surprise.
Perhaps the most surprising of all |
the states was New Hampshire. 1t |
alone of all New England failed to give |
the Republican candidate a substantial |
plurality, and for days no one knew
in which column it would land. The
closeness of the vote was
shown by the rival claims, three days
after the election, of 100 plurality for
Hughes and 81 for Wilson. In the cir
it is no wonder that the
of both parties should de-
mand recount.
New Mexico, with three electoral
votes. attracted national attention by
placing itself early in the list of doubt
