Charleston, W. Va. Nov. Hughes
has carried West Virginia by at least
10000 This is conservative estl.
mate. based on returns from seven or
the most populous and three OF the
agricultural counties.
Returns from 1914 out of lib precincts

Orswell, Democrat, 1920. In the Sem
atorial fight 1855 precincts give Suther-
land. Republican. 1886, and Chiffon,

Pennsylvania Gives
Hughes 100000 Victory

Philadelphia, Nov. 7.-Pennsylvania,
which cast its electoral vote for Theo-
dore Roosevelt four years ago, to-day
swung back into the Republican Presl-
Dental column by giving Charles E.
Hughes a plurality, as indicated by
returns up to midnight, of about 2OO,-
900. Virtually all counties that were
normally in the Republican column
prior to 1912 returned Republican
pluralities.
Philadelphia early returns indicated
a plurality in the city of at least TO-
900 for Hughes, and Pittsburgh
showed substantial plurality for the
Republican national ticket.
Returns from thirty-one OF the
thirty-six Congress districts in the
state show a Democratic gain of one,
but incomplete returns from the other
districts may wipe out this gain.

Senator Charles E. Townsend is far

[By Telegr.ph Do rhe Ttbune. !

Wilmington, Del. Nov The con-
test at the polls in Delaware to-day
proved even closer than expected. and
late returns tonight left the final re-
suit still in doubt. Democratic leaders
claimed on the face of the results WI
son should carry the state by major
ity Of from 300 TO 500. The Repab'
licans, however, believe returns stiii 70
come will show decided swing toward
Hughes.
In wilmington Hughes was The We.

a majority of $50.
Hughes also won in Newcastle

Early Montana Vote
Gives Wilson Lead

Butte, Mont, Nov. Thirty pre-
cincts out of 1889 give Wilson $500,
Hughes 2475. Twenty-three out of
1929 for Governor give Stewart, Demo
crat. 5,547, and Edwards, Republican
$3.50.
A variable quantity in national pol,
itics, Montana gave all four electoral
votes to Wilson in 1912. The Presi-
dents vote OF 27,941 gave plurality OF
5.4s5 over Roosevelt. Montana's pre-
vious record had been: Republican,
1892; Democratic, 1896 and 1900; Re
publican, 1904 and 1908. Two Demo-
cratic Representatives in Congress
were elected in 1914 from this state.

Illinois a Close Second
Illinois followed along as close
second TO New York, and then lndi-
ana. New Jersey, where the polls
did not close until z o'clock, was late
in making any signs at all, but at
midnight it seemed safe for Hughes
by a majority that stunned the
Democrats at national headquarters.
1t appeared at II o'clock that only
a landslide for Wilson in the West
and Pacific Coast states could pos
sibly reflect him, but that chance
grew fainter and fainter as later
figures came in from California,
Washington and other states not so
far west Hughes got $4,000 ma

In spite of these certain indica-
tons of Republican victory in all

Hughes Runs Up Large
Plurality in Indiana
INV Telegraph 10 The Tribun. I


Indianapolis, Nov. Tt looks like
victory for the G.. o. p. in Indiana, on
the face of to-night's returns. Re
turns from 734 of the 3,l42 districts
gave Wilson 164, 694 votes and Hughes
l72,413. James p Goodrich, Republican
nominee for Governor has decisively de-
feated John A. NJ. Adair, and the trend
Of the vote shows that he will run
ahead Of Hughes.
Senator Kern and Senator Taggart,
both Democrats, have run behind
Wilson In the state. Both the Republi-
can nominees. Harry S. New, Of Indian
apolis, and James E. Watson, Of Rush
Vile, are certain of election by large
pluralities.
Indiana has had eleven Democrats in
the House and two Republicans. The
two Republicans, Merrill Moores, of
indianapolis, and w. r. Wood, Of
Lafayette, have been reelected
In addition, reports from other dis
tricts show that the Republicans will
gain five Representatives and possibly
seven.

concede Illinois. All OF the western
states are yet TO be heard from, anu
indications are that they are all ior

the indications are that We nave los'
New Jersey. The indications are we
still hold Massachusetts, and Kansas
Delaware and Maryland appear to De
safe. We have received nothing from
Shadow Lawn to indicate that they have
given up the fight"
Shadow Lawn Hopeful
The word that did come from Shadow
Lawn was this:
ave believe President Wilson has
benn reelected. There is nothing to
date TO alter this view.
1--WE are not so precipitate as our
opponents in announcing the result"
Returns tabulated at midnight
showed that Hughes would probably
lose only Ohio of those states which
were considered doubtful, and crucial
as far as the final result was concerned.
Kansas WAS runrung close, with lean
ing toward Wilson. Massachusetts was
also running close, but the lean was
altogether the other way. Ii appeared
that with the possible exception of
Ohio, Wilson would carry only the
Solid South, with Nebraska, Arizona,
Utah. Colorado and New Mexico.
Otherwise the Republicans did more
than recover the normal Republican
vote Of 1904 and 1908; that is, the Pro-
gressives had. returned to the fold
even in greater numbers than optmis-
1..s- i L.
creased the Republican majorities in
many Of the normally Republican
states.
The incomplete returns also indicated
that the two classes on which Wilson's
supporters had counted failed TO pro-
duce results. The labor vote seemed TO
be doing fairly we'll by Wilson in Ohio,
but not in New England. The women IN
Illinois and other states where they eX-
ercised the suffrage for President fo-
the first time apparently failed 10 be
swayed by the Wilson claim that he
kept the country out OF war.
Illinois gave the clearest indications
Of that fact. About 100000 women voted
for President for the first time In that
state, and they divided about the same
as the men, thereby increasing the Re
publican majority. Early figures indi-
Gated that Hughes would carry Illinois
by perhaps 10000, but this estimate
was reduced later. About o'clock the
Democrats conceded the state to
Hughes By 10000 It will probably
give something less than 100000 for the
| Republican national ticket.
From the first there was absolutely
no doubt about New York State. As
fast as the Democratic majority in the
city decreased the upstate majority Tor
Hughes grew. Hughes won by 10000,
and William NJ. Calder, Senatorial can
didate, seemed likely to win by 100000
Whitman running second, with 10000
plurality.
Ohio and Massachusetts, wavered all
evening. Rival managers claimed OHIO
by anything from $4,000 to 10000
votes. At midnight it looked like
Wilson by 25,00O although Hughes still
had a fighting chance Of getting the
states "a electoral votes. More than
half the vote of Massachusetts,, in
Guiding the city of Boston, normally
Democratic, indicated that Hughes
would carry the state by $4,000 votes.

From a few miles north OF Tarn-

This is more than the present daily

diate vicinity OF tho smelter. though
II II should be placed In commission
the mines would at once Increase
their output as fully a. possible to
keep the smelter running on full

II is estimated that 1t would re-
'auire an expenditure OF from $4,000
to 5000 TO repair and improve the
smelter. The coke and ore bins
would have to be rebuilt. as would
also the dust chamber, says A. n.
