districts missing.
In Minnesota too, the Wilson lead,
which was as hIrh as 10000 early In
the day, steadily decreased as the
vote from the rura districts came In.
Late Wednesday ght Hughes took
the lead with a small margin. The
Republican managers claimed the
state on the FINAL returns.
Idaho was estimated for the Wilson
column with majority OF 10000.
Kansas, while incomplete, with a lit
tie more than two thirds Of the dis
tr.Cts reported. showed President VIII

Washington, a little more than half
reported. was giving the president a
lead OF 1000.
West Virginia, two-thirds reported,
was showing Hughes a majority o.
nearly 1000. North Dakota was very
close, twothrds complete, showing
Hughes majority Of less than 1000.
Wilson was leading in New Mexico
with only small proportion Of the
precincts reported. Delaware and New
Hampshire, counted among the
Hughes states. but incomplete during
the day, definitely turned into the Re
publican column.
Both Chairman Vance c, McCor
mick for the Democrats and Chair
man William r. Wilcox for the Re
publicans protested undiminished con
iidence in the outcome. The former
was somewhat more explicit in his
claims, but the latter declared, after
dining with Charles Il. Hughes. that

Earlier in the day Mr.. Mccormick
had announced that he had sent tele.

Lou1svILLE, KY. oct. 2S.-Although
Kentucky normally Is Democratic by a
ma ,ority o. about $4,000, the outcome
OF the Presidential election Is extremely
uncertain, Tho best information OBJ
taInab,e. based upon efforts to ascer-
tain the trend and strength or sentiment
In all sections. seems to indicate that
Wilson will carry the state. but by a
greatly reduced majority. The Repub-
llcans are almost certain to gain one
Representative In Congress and have an
excellent fighting chance to gain two
more.
The political situation in Kentucky ID
complicated by the intrusion OF state
| issues, The present Democratic state
! administration, elected last year by n
scant majority OF 400 votes, has proved
| extremely unpopular and the Republ!-
| cans are counting upon IA large Demo-
| cratic "stay at home" element this year,
| The strongly Republican districts In the
! mountainous section will give greatly in
| creased Republican maJorities, while the
| outlook affords no indication that the
Democrats will he able to bring out ma
! terially Increased maJorities In any of
| their districts.
At present tho Democrats have nine
| Representatives and the Republicans
| only two. The indications are that the
| Republicans will gain a Representative
In the Third district. which they carried
In last years State election. The Fourth

Democratic leaning. and are claimed by
both sides. The Fourth district. now
represented by Ben johnson. went Re-

Hughes VIII Get Plurality Of l00,-
900, IL Il Believed.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2s.-lndlcations
are that while Pcnnsylvania's thirty
eight electoral votes will be counted for
the Republican candidate. as they always
were until the Roosevelt sweep In 1912,
the popular vote will show a much
smaller plurality for Hughes than the
Republican candidate usually polls.
Whereas Roosevelt carried Pennsylvania
by 500. 900 In 1904. and Taft by SOC, 900
in 1905, It Is probable that the Hughes
victory will be by 10O. 900 votes or less.
II Is figured that Roosevelt votes OF
1919 will switch to Wilson in the ratio
Of n out of four. There are evidences
that Wilson Is much stronger In Phila-
delphia "a four years ago. However.
II the same proportionate increase noted
In Philadelphia applied to the entire
State Hughes would still have a margin
of safety.
Six Of the States present delegation OF
thirty-six In the House OF Representa-
tees are Democrats. This Is likely to be
reduced. The defeat OF Bryan's friend.

has not been equalled In many months.
With the election only ten days of. Il
apparently is impossible TO forecast with
any degree Of accuracy what the result
will be.
Leaders Of both parties arc claiming
the State by big majorities.
Republican headquarters feel conf
dent that Hughes will have a majority
Of 10000. while the Democrats say
Wilson will romp home with at least
100 900 more than his opponent.
1t is apparent that the German vote
Is going to be the deciding factor In tho
national election SO far Is Ohio Is con-
cerned. At the beginning OF the cam
paign the Germans were almost sol!dly
for the Republican candidate. but in the
last two weeks Wilson has mad steady
inroads In German strongholds.
The vote polled by Roosevelt in the
last election will go almost sol!diy for
Hughes. but many who supported Taft
are now to be found in the Wilson coll
umn. Should the President maintain
the percentage OF gain made In the past
two weeks, as indicated by straw bal
lots. Ohio will be lost by the Republicans.
