G.. 0. P. LEADERS GIVE
UP In CALIFORNIA.

San Francisco. Nov, 15.--Republi-
can leaders In California thu after
noon virtually abandoned all hope
that the official presidential count
would throw the State to Charles
Evans Hughes.
With the count moro than half
completed. in several counties wholly
completed, President Wilson's maio~i-
ty OF over $500, as shown BY the
unofficial returns, virtually Ia unlm-
paired. Errors In the unofficial tabu-
lation are about balanced In favor Of
Hughes and Wilson, neither gaining
nor losing any considerable number
of votes.
In Los Angeles County Hughes has
made total net gain OF l45 votes
over the unofficial figures. but the
votes in one precinct, where 273 votes
were cast, with only a total reEistra =
ton OF 27o, may operate to throw out
the entire precinct. in which case
Hughes, who had a plurality Of four
teen In the precinct, will lose that
number.
In Gan Francisco The count, nearly
completed late this afternoon, has
brought the President a net gain Of
eleven votes.
In Santa Clara County the COM
pleted official tally gave Hughes IL net
gain Of Ave votes.
no important errors have bean found,
and that from all indications there
will be no material difference between
the official ana unofficial counts.
