precincts out Of 1913 outside Of Cook

Expect
to Get Three of the
California Electors

San Francisco. Nov. 10.-California pol
iticians settled down tonight to prepare
for vigilant surveillance Of the semi
official count of the state by county
clerks and the final count by the secreta-
ry of state. All future proceedings, lead
ers of both parties agreed, will hinge
upon what develops in these counts. Late
tonight Wilson led in the state by
1886 votes. Chester H. Rowell, chairman
of the Republican state central commit
tee, and o. K. Gushing, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee,
agreed that the outlying precincts still to
be heard from would not make much
difference in the unofficial returns. They
differed as to the official count, Mr. Cush-
ing claiming the state and Mr.. Rowell
claiming split delegation in the electoral
college. Tonight the Republicans ex-
pected to get three of the 10 electors and
perhaps more.
Legal counsel has been retained by Re-
publicans and Democrats to aid in watch
ing the final counts. In addition, deputy
United States marshals and secret service
men have been detailed in the large coun-
ties.

speech yesterday of Chancellor Won Beth

ipous agreement with the main points in
the speech. All emphasized the import
ance Of the Russian order of 1912. accord
Ing to which, the chancellor said, mobii-
ixation meant q declaration of war
against Germany. The speaker stated
that the chancellor's description of the
origin Of the war ought to be known to
the whole world, not only to neutral. but
also to hostile bell;gerent countries.
They also indorse the chancellor's views
concerning an international league for the
preservation of permanent peace, ex-
pressed their agreement with such views
and specified their own ideas in regard
to 1t.
The first speaker, a member of the Cath
olice party. said he welcomed the chan
cellor's declaration that Germany would
join a union of states for the preserva-
ton of peace. He added that it was evil
dent that in such a union of states the
vital questions Of state or states ought
not to be voted down by the majority. He
said also that the experiences Of the war
justified a desire for the better protection
of Germanys frontier. The speaker de-
clared that the proclamation of the king
dom of Poland means that the Poles will
have a chance for free and independent
evolution. In regard to Belgium he as
serted that Belgium never again must be
used as starting point for an invasion
against Germany"
