ONE WASHINGTON
VOTE is IN DOUBT

New York. Nov. 9.-Chairman Nc
Cormick said today he would investi-
gate reports received at democratic
headquarters that the republicans in
Washington state may get one Of the
democratic electoral votes on the
ground that votes cast for one of the
democratic. electors who died were in
valid.
Accordingt to the reports the name
of E. M. Conner. the democratic elect
or who was substituted for A. Stream
the dead elector, did not appear on the
ballot in many counties, and it was
stated that therefore. the votes cast
for Stream might be valid, the differ
ence giving a plurality for one repub-
lican elector
I'VE will investigate the matter"
said Chairman Mccormick" but even
If we were forced to concede the vote
] am not worried by the loss of one

The controversy between Norway
and Germany over the submarine ques-
tion reached an acute stage with the
passage Of the ordinance Of October 13
by King Haakon's government.
BY this ordinance submarines of bel
ligerent powers were forbidden to ira
verse Norwegian waters except In
cases of emergency. In the latter in
stance they were directed to remain
upon the surface and fly their national
flag. Mercantile submarines were also
ordered to remain on the surface and
display their country's colors. This
ordinance provoked strong feeling in
Germany and DR.. Alfred Zimmerman,
the German under secretary for for
eign affairs was quoted in Copenhagen
papers as saying that the German note
of protest would be serious one and
that Germany would not calmly submit
to the action Of the Norwegian govern
>rnent.

DEMOCRATS KEEP
HOLD ON CONGRESS
WITH VERY FEW DISTRICTS TO
HEAR FROM, REPUBLICANS
ARE NINE IN REAR.

New York, Nov. 9.-Returns on the
election for members Of congress re-
ceived up to / o'clock today showed
212 democrats and 203 republicans
elected with sixteen districts not yet
accounted for.
Seven Of these sixteen districts are
democratic in the present congress
and nine are republican. Should each
keep to its present political afiliation
the count would stand: Democrats,
219; republicans 212: which would
give the democrats majority Of three
over the 212 republicans and four rep
resentatves of other parties In the
house.

Leaders see 1t

New York, Nov. 9.-Statements
were issued from both democratic
and republican national headquar-
ters today still claiming the
pivotal states for the respective
parties.
"When I retired at S o'clock"
said Chairman Mccormick, Il
knew that North Dakota was safe
for Wilson, California absolutely
ours. that we had New Mexico
surely and that we are putting up
a good fight in Minnesota"
George w. Perkins at republi-
can headquarters declared that
New Mexico and Minnesota were
both swinging toward Hughes and
that North Dakota was sure. He
asserted that If these three states
were placed in the Hughes column
the republican candidates election
was assured without California's
thirteen electoral votes.
Mr.. Perkins added that all pre-
cautions were being taken to
guard the ballot boxes where the
vote was running close and where
the recount might be deemed
necessary.
"We will take every precaution
to guard against ballot box
frauds" he said.
Charles B. Warren. republican
national committeeman from
Michigan, after q conference with
Chairman Wilcox and other ma
tional committeeman gave out this
statement as rejecting the con-
sensus of opinion among the re-
publican leaders:
1.-THE election depends upon the
count in California Minnesota,
North Dakota. New Mexico and
New Hampshire. Oregon is safe
ly for Hughes as IL also West
Virginia. The probabilities are
that the Minnesota vote will be
cast for Hughes, but the official
count will be required in North
Dakota, New Mexico. New Hamp-
shire and California before the
results in those states will be de-
hnitely known"

WILSON CONFIDENT
EARLY MORNING RETURNS CON.
VINCE HIM THAT HIS ELEc- .
TION is ASSURED.

Long Branch. N. j., Nov. 9.-Presi-
dent Wilson got up shortly before 8
o'clock this morning to hear again
that the outcome of Tuesdays election
was not yet certain. He read the
morning newspapers before breakfast
and planned to take an automobile ride
later.
Mr.. Wilson's first questions had to
do with California, Minnesota, New
Mexico and North Dakota, the states
on which he was told before going to
bed last night, the result largely
hinged.
1t was taken for granted among Of
fcials here that there would be re-
counts in several Of the very close
states and it was believed that weeks
might pass before questions involved
were settled.
The president remained in a cheer
full mood today and believed the re
suit would eventually favor him. As
the returns began coming in this morn
ing at the executive Offices they were
promptly telephoned to him at Shadow
Lawn.
The president will leave from At
lantic Highlands, N. J., on the naval
yacht Mayfower late this afternoon or
tonight for Rhine Cliff, N. Y, on the
Hudson, where he takes a train at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning for Will
Jamestown. Mass There he will act
as godfather for the child Of Mrs.
Francis B. Sayre, his daughter, tomor-
row.
Miss Margaret Wilson, who is stay

ANOW VI IA A>NN ~
tChairman Mccormick Of
Ethe, democratic committee
kannounced late this after
lnoon that he had sent tele-
Igrams to all the democratic
Estate chairmen in the coun-
|try telling them to "engage
bands and buy red fire to
celebrate tonight the return
of Woodrow Wilson"
New York, Nov. 9. If the result Of
! the incomplete returns Of Tuesdays
balloting are accepted as final in all
but fve states at noon today, the cleo
toral vote would give President Will
! son Isl and Mr.. Hughes 243.
The five doubtful states with their
/ electoral votes are: California 13; Min
i nesota 12; New Mexico 3; North Da-
I kota S; New Hampshire 4.
The sudden switch of New Hamp-
shire from a small Hughes plurality to
! over hundred votes for President
Wilson was the dramatic change in the
situation this forenoon. 1t came in an
nouncement from the secretary OF
state that partial official count Of all
/ the districts disclosed errors in tabu-
! lation by town and ward clerks to that
0Rtent. The Official count Is still pro-
crossing.
In Minnesota and New Mexico the
incomplete returns show Mr. Hughes
to have lead, while in California and
North Dakota Mr.. Wilson is leading.
The returns from doubtful western
states are belated and not expected to
be available before late hour today.
Returns AnxiousIy Awaited.
The election passed into the second
/ day Of uncertainty with President VIII
son and Charles Evans Hughes both
anxiously awaiting the count in few
western states-the pivotal ones being
California with thirteen electoral
votes and Minnesota with twelve, New
Mexico with three and North Dakota
with five.
Although still so close that the re-
suit could not be regarded as assured,
Indicative overnight returns seemed to
dispose Of previously doubtful states
by placing West virginia's eight votes
in the Hughes column and giving the
four votes Of Idaho and seven from
Washington to President Wilson.
An eleventh hour development came
this morning from Concord, N. H.,
where Secretary of State Bean stated
that with the New Hampshire returns
complete but only partly verified Of
ficially, Wilson led by SO votes. Veri-
iication of the New Hampshire re-
turns was still in progress.
The Hughes total thus became 243
and the Wilson total 255 with 266 nee
essary to elect.
After so disposing Of these previ-
ously doubtful states. from which the
returns still are incomplete. the stu
alton appeared to be as follows:
