SOME OPPOSITION
Indications That Mexican Members

Obstruction i'm the Way of
an Agreement.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. Nov. Is.
Despite indications of obstruction

the American members of the joint
commission here still believe there is
a chance of reaching an agreement
involving the withdrawal of General
Pershing's column from Mexico.
While there is an apparent OBJ

agreement. While we have come to
some conclusion it is nothing more
than tentative. While the situation

The Carranza members had plan

Carranza by messenger for ratifica-
ton, while the Americans expected
to submit the proposals by telegraph
to the Washington gop rnment.
Whether the eleventh hour oppo-

thwart the expected agreement was
impossible of prediction. The Amer

little dallying from now on. In ad-
dition to the military agreement the
Americans hope for action more fav-

WILSON GAINS
ON RECOUNT
I Lt'RALITy OF PRESIDENT IS
GROWING LARGER CAiIFORlt
As COUNT PROGRESSES.
GAIN OF 286 VOTES.
Complete Count In t3 Out ~ Coun-
ties Gives Wilson Net Gain of
2S6 Votes Over Hughes.
Count Nearly Finished.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. NOV. H.
With the official count in from more
than two-thirds OF the counties IN
California. President Wilson increas-
eC his plurality over Hughes by 2s6
votes on the face OF complete returns
as tabulated by the United Press to-
day. Reports of completed official
counts In AZ out of 5s counties
showed some changes from the unof-
fetal returns in favor OF Hughes at
325 votes, and changes in favor of
Wilson by GIL votes. net gain FOR
Wilson of 2S6.
These figures were based solely on
returns from counties which had
completed their count and did not
include the larger cities of the state.
In the official count in Los Angeles
county so far Hughes has a net gain
OF 1870 votes, while in San Francisco
county Wilson's net gain has been
ell. nearly all of the counties yet
unreported the changes from the un-
official figures are expected TO be
very slight.
When the official count has beer
completed il will undoubtedly b.
possible to show plurality for vii
sen of between 5000 and 6.ool
votes.
This will be because OF the wide
difference between the republican
end democratic high and low totals
in each county.
Considerable discussion developed
throughout the state today over
persistent rumors circulated in New
York yesterday that Hughes gained
G.300 votes as the result Of the dis
covery of an error In the recount.
No such error has been shown any
where in the state.
