PRESIDENT WILSON ELECTED
ON FACE OF THE RETURNS
Republicans Demand a Recount of Votes in Several
Close and Pivotal States.
RECORD BREAKING INTEREST IN THE NEWS
Entire Nation Kept in Suspense While Election Judges of Few
States Counted to the Last Ballot Before Result Was
KnoWn-SOdier Vote Factor

New York, Nov. 11.-On the face of
the returns, unofficial and still incOm-
plete, Woodrow Wilson has been re-
elected president of the United States
with majority of at least eleven in
the electoral college. But the Repub-
hcans place a cloud on his title that is
likely to remain for a week or ten
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 nerye-racking
strain for the people of the country.
If the election officials Of 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
ifornia, New Hampshire, New Mexico
and North Dakota, was determined at
conferences of the Republican leaders
here. Chairman Wilcox asserted 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 a 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 number of
states. The 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 it's dele
CATION is nearly as large, it, too, was
watched with the intensest interest.
Through days and nights of counting,
the race was see-saw, with but q
thousand or so of votes separating the
candidates. Neither side would ad-
init 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. II
alone Of all New England failed to give
the Republican candidate substantial
plurality, and for days no one knew
in which column it would land. The |
astonishing clOseneSs of the vote was
shown by the rival claims, three days
after the election, of 100 plurality for
Hughes and "a for Wilson. In the cir
cumstances it is no wonder that the
managers of both parties should de-
mand n recount.
New Mexico, with three electoral
votes, attracted national attention by
placing itself early in the list of doubt

REPUBLICANS SHOW GAIN.

New York.-The Republicans

New York.-Woodrow Wilson ha!
been reelected President of the Uni
ted States.
He carried California. California
settled the thrilling race that kept al
America enthralled for nearly &C
hours. If the final outcome is as now
indicated the final vote in the cleo
toral college will stand
President Wilson, 272.
Charles E. Hughes, 259.
With the Presidents popular major.
ity unOticially estimated at more than
four hundred thousand votes, the pos.
| sibility existed that his vote in the
electoral college might be increased
from 272 to 288. The addition of New
Hampshire and Minnesota in the Dem.
ocratic column would give President
Wilson an increase of 16 electoral
votes.
1t is understood that Frank H.
Hitchcock and George w. Perkins al
ready have advised Mr.. Hughes to
concede the election. William R.
Wilcox, national chairman, has op-
posed such action, and has induced
Mr.. Hughes to wait.
Hanging by thread for more than
two days, the contest narrowed down
to the 13 votes in the Pacific Coast
state. Friday the Republicans con-
ceded that California had gone
Democratic. 1t will be by close mar
gin. The final plurality may be not
more than 5000. But in battle of
ballots like that which has held the
nation almost breathless, 1900 votes
are almost mountainous.
Charles E. Hughes and William r.
Wilcox, Chairman of the Republican
National Committee, plan to remain
in New York for a week or more to
await the result of the official count
Of the vote in California. Once the
official count is finished they expect
to take d vacation, Mr.. Wilcox said.
The National Chairman called upon
MIR. Hughes at his hotel. Later Mr..
Wilcox said: I'VE are in the same
position as we have been since elec-
tion night. We want an official count
in California to assure the reelection
OF Mr.. Wilson before we are willing
to concede defeat. Far be it from us
to deprive President Wilson of one
single vote properly cast for him"
A great many messages from all
parts of the country were received at
Republican headquarters. Mr.. Will
cox said many of them were Com
plants of every kind"
