DOUBTFUL STATES UNCHANGED

San Francisco, Nov. 11.-Analysis
by Democratic leaders today or the
popular presidential vote in San Fran
cisco failed to give much encourage
ment to the claim of the Republican

elector, Mrs. Carrie L. Tyler. received
1880 votes. only AL behind Francis
]. Heney, high, with 1921. If the
same ratio were maintained thruout
the state it was said Mrs. Tyler would
be approximately 2,466 votes behind
the head of her ticket. The present
Democratic plurality. however, is
3,278, leaving the Republicans ap-
proximately 500 short of even one
elector.
Louis Clark, low Republican cleo
tor. ran 292 votes behind Britton,
high, with 1913 votes in San Fran
cisco.
Eighteen precincts still were miss
ing early today from the state total
of $3.50 with the possibility that the
unofficial state count would not be
complete before the official canvass,
which begins Monday.

Washington, Dec. 2l.-Plainly hint
ing that there is danger Of the United
States being drawn into the European
war; Secreary Lansing today stated
that this was the real reason behind
the presidents message to the bellig
erents, sent yesterday.
THE situation of the United States
as neutral is rapidly becoming in
tolerable," the secretary said, "and
therefore the president has demanded
q showdown. Our rights have been
invaded and the situation is becoming
so intolerable that it cannot go on
long.
more and more our rights are be-
ing invaded by the belligerents on both
sides, so that the situation is becom-
ing increasingly critical. | mean by
this that we are drawing nearer the
verge of war and therefore we are en-
titled to know what each belligerent
seeks in order that we may regulate
our conduct in the future.
1T was not material interests that
were considered when we said the sit
uation might become intolerable. We
have prospered by the war but our
rights have been invaded"
Lansing emphasized positively that
the German peace proposal and the
speech of Lloyd George had nothing to
do with the dispatch of the Wilson
note except possibly to delay the send
ing of it. "It was not finally decided
till Monday to send this note" said he.
"The difficulty that faced the presi-
dent was that the note might be con
strued as a movement for peace and
in aid of the German overtures. He
specifically denies in the note itself
that this was a factor in the commu-
nication"
It was suggested to Lansing that the
United States was in no position to
stop the war unless the belligerents

Washington, Dec 21.-In making
the first formal effort to get a state
ment of peace terms from the bellig-
erents in Europe and to evolve from
the war the means Of preventing sim
liar tragedy, President Wilson acted
with the knowledge that other neutrals
would stand behind him, it was stated
today He has the greatest confidence
that his efforts will succeed.
Officials in Washington today had
scarcely recovered from the startling
development of Wilson'S sending
peace note to all countries and they
awaited with anxiety the first response
from the belligerent nations to the
presidents suggestion for peace defi-
nitions.
The presidents action came like a
thunderstorm out of a slear sky. He
had made it clear many times that he
would make no such move unless he
was assured Of its definitely accom-.
phshing its purpose. His determina-
ton to launch his pronouncement was
reached suddenly although he had con-
templated such action.
The change in policy of the govern
ment of acting as mere messenger
for the belligerents remained an enig-
ma today but it was assumed that the
president had received assurances
that such an entering wedge" propos-
al would not be received in an UNI
friendly manner by the belligerents
