almost every electoral vote would be
vital, the returns from down on the
border were grabbed hot off the wires
, After veering back and forth for days,
New Mexico was definitely placed in
the Wilson column, though there, too,
the presidents margin was so scant
that basis was afforded for the call
for a recount. A few mistakes dis
covered in the figures Of the precinct
officials might well swing the state
over to Hughes.
Wilcox Demands Recount.
On Friday National Chairman Will
cox of the Republican party handed
out the following statement:
'"The result still depends upon the
vote in few close states. It must be
borne in mind that the returns thus
far announced are, in most states, un-
official, and may be changed by the
official count required by the laws of
those states.
'Twice during these unofficial COM
putatiOnS yesterday in California mis-
takes in additions were announced
from that state, substantially changing
figures previously given.
1T is common experience that the
result Of the official count almost al
nounced.
"Where the vote is as close as that
reported in several states, it may we'll
be that material changes will result
from the official count.
eve owe it to the country to take
all necessary steps to see that an ex-
act and honest count of the vote is
made. When the current seemed to be
running against Mr.. Wilson on Wednes-
day the Democratic managers an
, nounced their intention to demand a
recount in every close state.
"All we desire is to make sure that
the vote is counted as cast"
Both sides conceded that no matter
what action might be taken in regard
to a recount there was little likelihood
of contest being carried to the house
of representatives as it was after the
Hayes-Tilden campaign in 1876. Legis-
lation enacted in 1887, it was said,
made the state sovereign in pronounc-
ing Judgment in a recount of the pres
idential vote.
How Congress Stands.
With returns missing from only one
congressional district in the United
States. the Republicans and Demo
Gratis each had elected 215 representa-
tives.
The vote in New Mexico, which is
still in doubt, probably will determine
which party is to have plurality of
one over the other. The present mem
Der from New Mexico is a Republi-
can.
The balance Of power in the next
house will be held by four men, one
a Progressive PrOtectionist from
Louisiana, one an independent from
Massachusetts, one Progressive from
Minnesota and the other a Socialist
from New York.
The action of these members ap-
parently will determine the choice of
a speaker, as we'll as the fate of legts-
lation which is supported or opposed
on purely party lines.

Republicans Demand Recount of Votes in Several
Close and Pivotal States
RECORD BREAKING INTEREST IN THE NEWS
Entire Nation Kept Suspense While Election Judges of Few
States Counted to the Last Ballot Before Result Was
KnoWn-SoIdier 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 a majority of at least eleven in
the electoral college. But the Repub-
licans place 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 elec-
tiOn bets.
The situation is extraordinary and
has resulted in days of nerve-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 sense of their
Importance. For on those few pre-
cincts has depended the nations choice
of it's 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
CHI ho o1o Nj
Wilson's title to the presidency. The
Democrats, for their part, declared
that there must be 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 a 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 a see-saw, with but a
thousand or so Of votes separating the
candidates. Neither side would ad-
NIT defeat, and even now both are
awaiting the soldier vote and the off,
cial count.
New Hampshire Surprise.
Perhaps the most surprising of all
the states was New Hampshire. 1t
alone of all New England failed to give
the Republican candidate a substantial
plurality, and for days no one knew
which column it would land. The
'onishing closeness of the vote was

Miss Brady's character in 1.-THE Bal

perfectly adapts itself She is in turn
coquettish, pathetic and dramatic, ris-
ing to great heights of passion and
power in the scenes in which the soul
of 1.-THE Ballet Girl" is tried on the
anvil of stage life. Besides the thea
trical side of life portrayed in "The
Ballet Girl" however, the production
also mirrors forth smart society and
its foibles and the Vaccinations of the
rich and powerful.

WHOLE SUITES OF ROOMS
ON GLASS STAGES AS SET

Since the completion of the four
great glass stages at Culver City for
the making of Triangle-Ince photo
plays a motion picture innovation long
and devoutly desired by directors has
been made possible. That is the build
ing of interior sets in continuity, in
the actual relation they are supposed
to bear to each other in the story.
Thus, one often sees a suite Of four
rooms exactly as they would be in
some home of the wealthy. They open
into each other and may be viewed
from each other. The camera can
sometimes catch something of all four
at once.
This has led to another innovation.
The director often stations two or
more cameras on his set, and photo
graphs continuous action actually as
it would be in life Thus, from one
side of a wall, an actress is photo
graphed as she exits through a door
way. On the other side a second cam
era records that identical passage A
third picks her us as, without stop

additional discharge makes possible a
complete change of air every minute
and one-half. Mr.. Magel has also in
stalled a new five horsepower gener-
ator with which to run his projecting
machines, and by it's use a much clear
er and smoother picture will be as
sured. The quality of the projection
is greatly improved also by the install
lation of new curtain. This curtain
has been moved farther back on the
stage and this will make it possible to
view the picture with comfort to the
eyes from the front seats.

HOLSTEINS HEAD ALL IN INDIVID-

Fourteen Cows Yield Fifty or More
Pounds Butterfat in June and %
Yield 40 or more Pounds.

A. Carlson's herd of grade Jerseys,
consisting of 20 cows, made the best
record for the month of June, in the
Bull Cowtesting association, accord
ing to the figures furnished by o. T.
Roster, the official tester There are
20 COWS in the herd and the average
butterfat production per COW was more
than SO pounds. The second place
was won by c.. e. Longs herd of IL
registered and grade Jerseys, with a
yield of 3S.4 pounds for each COW. The
A. A. Stauffacher herd of II registered
and grade Holsteins, and the c. e.
Inglesby herd of eight Holsteins, tied
for third place, with butterfat pro-
duction of BAT pounds.
On the other hand the Holsteins won
highest place in the individual tests
The registered Holstein Belle Henger-
weld by Quoque DeKol 104302, of the
Nj. p Dau herd easily won first place,
the production of 69.4 pounds; while
No. eleven, a grade Holstein of the w.
S. Samuel herd won second place with
COZ pounds Five head from the A.
Carlson herd of Jerseys followed with
productions ranging from 54.2 up to
500. Then came two of the A. A. Stauf-
facher herd of Holsteins, with records
of 53.4 and 52.5, respectively. Gustav
Kunze's No. twelve with So pounds; a
registered Jersey from the herd of M.
p Dau, with SIG pounds; a Jersey
from the Carlson herd with sos; a
registered Jersey from the c. e. Long
herd with 507 pounds, and Jersey
from the Carlson herd with so pounds,
constituted the cows yielding so or
more pounds of butterfat during the
month
There were 455 COWS producing milk
during the month; Sc of this number
being on the honor roll, producing 40
or more pounds of butterfat for the
month. This is a slight decrease from
the previous month, this being due
partly to the fact that quite a number
of the cows are about to go dry
One Holstein-Freisian COW was on
test for admission to the advanced reg
istry, she being from the herd of A. A.
Stauffacher. The test was under the
supervision of Carl A Harder
Mechanical mixers have been in

Both are giving entire satisfaction,
Several other members of the associa-
