 The counting was watched by check CTS, lawyers and expert accountants, employed by both the republican and democratic state organizations.
 Unofficial reports from other coun- ties received at political headquarters during the day regarding the presiden- tial recount showed in all cases small gains for President Wilson.

Washington. November l3.--President the first time since the campaign began two months ago. plunged into work to- day in an effort to clear his desk of accumulated business. Taking for grant ed that he had been reelected, he asked no questions about electoral votes, but did display anxiety over the political complexion of the next House of Rep resentatives.
 Through an interview with Secretary Lansing the President got in touch with pressing foreign problems, including the submarine, Mexican and British block ade issues; and in a talk with Henry Morganthau, chairman of the finance committee of the democratic national committee, he became acquainted with the latest developments in the political situation.
 State department officials make no se- cret of their belief that dangerous pos abilities are presented by recent devel- opments in both the Mexican and sub marine questions. Secretary Lansing re- viewed details with Mir. Wilson today but said no important action was in pros pect Some development is expected soon, however, at the Mexican-American com mission sitting at Atlantic City, N. J.
 NO RADICAL CHANGES
 It was stated definitely by officials in the confidence of the President today that his reelection will mean no radical changes in any of his policies He is said to feel that in general his course has been indorsed by the nation at the polls. Consequently, the administrators policy, both in domestic and foreign af- fairs, 1t is predicted, will remain prac- tically unchanged, although as soon as the war is over the President will recom- mend revision of the tariff if he feels it is justified by the facts to be deter mined by the tariff commission.
 Regarding foreign affairs, it was said

The old days of the police force
when its reputation rested on the
chance phrase of a politician and graft
was rampant. seem to have been ended
for the time being, at least OF course
there still is some graft, but it is no
longer possible for an inspector to
reign in the Tenderloin for a year or
two and then retire to live at ease.
Nowadays the police are too busy to
graft.
For instance, take the crusade
against the illegal sale and distribu-
ton of drugs. BY pounding at this
evil systematically, the police have
been able to curb materially the num-
Der Of agents, thus reducing the illegal
traffic.
In very much the same way, the
gangster has been all but wiped out
When the detective bureau and the
special squads set to work on this first
thorough housekeeping Of the Stun
districts. they made up a list Of 5000

BY process Of elimination, comparing

same man, they reduced this to a con-
crete list Of 1852. OF this number, ISL

ing 1915. which leaves only rs Of the
original army of gangsters at liberty.
