HUGHES OFFICIAL
NOTICE TONIGHT
FORMER JUSTICE TO BE TOLD OF
REPUBLICAN NOMINATION
FOR PRESIDENT
Hundreds of Republican Leaders
ThrOng New York Hotels
Today
BY PERRY ARNOLD

Omitted Press Stiff Correspondent
NEW YORK, July 31.-Hundreds OF
republican leaders arrived here today
eager to hear Charles Evan Hughes,
republican nominee for president, re-
ceive the official notification of his
nomination at Carnagie Hall tonight.
The hotel lobbies resembled the re-
publican convention scenes today.
Former Justice Hughes has been
working for six weeks as republican
nominee, but tonight he will go
ly told that the representatives of the
G. O. P, in convention assembled at
Chicago last June, voted him their
standard bearer.
A survival of the days when there
were no telegraphs and news moved
slowly by courier and coach, the no
tif1cation ceremony" tonight is to be
transformed into "love feast" by the
republicans.
Carnegie Hall, seating nearly 1000
people, will be packed with old line
republicans, new line republicans, for
mer democrats, progressives and just
plain people. Before this audience
and through the press associations and
ewspapers-Governor Hughes will
make his preliminary appeal for re-

AS arranged for today there are to
be just two speeches, very brief
one from Senator Warren G. Hard
ing, who was chairman of the Chicago
convention, and who was appointed
chairman of the notification commit
tee Harding will gently break the
news to Hughes that he was named
republican presidential nominee
Hughes will respond in speech OF
probably five or ten thousand words
his "keynote" for the campaign.
The former governor has been work
ing on this speech ever since he got
the unofficial word from Chicago that
he was nominated. In it he will give
his views on practically every policy
of interest to the public. He will make
a powerful appeal for unity OF effort,
announce a welcome to progress1ves
of all types, and probably indicate
what issue he considers of paramount
importance in the coming campaign.
Immediately after the formal no.
tification ceremonies in Carnegie Hall,
members of the republican national

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-Detec-

that the police are still hunting one
man who was a prominent figure in
managing the details of the plot of the
recent bomb outrage in which several
people were killed while attending a
preparedness parade.
Captain Matheson stated that he be-
lieved the plotters intended to dyna-

the parade because the employees of
that company had refused to go on a
strike, but that they miscalculated the
time when the railroad section would
pass and abandoned the suitcase and

CONTROL OF HOUSE IS CLOSE;
DEMOCRATS LEAD IN SENATE

New York, Nov. 9--Although the
Democrats have assurance of control
of the senate by working majority,
control of the house was still in doubt
at an early hour today. The Demo-
Gratis had made slight gains however
in the late returns in Montana and
Kansas. At o'clock 208 Democrats,
1913 Republicans, 2 Progressives, l So
cialist and l Independent had been
elected, with 25 congressional districts
yet to be heard from. Republicans
did not give up hope of winning con-
troll.
The situation in the house at this
hour is so indefinite that it is impossi-
BILE to declare whether the Democrats
will maintain control. If they do it is
certain to be by greatly reduced
margin and one that will scarcely give
a good working majority. In fact, un-
less Democratic gains are made in the
districts yet undecided, independent
minority members might seriously in
terfere with the reelection of Speaker
Clark and the organization of import
ant committees. e.

Biennial Report Shows Well.

In compiling his forthcoming bien-
nial report, Superintendent of Public
Instruction j. A. Churchill, finds that
there are 1923 teachers in Oregon who
hold life state certificates or life diplo-
mas. The number of teachers holding
life papers is liz greater than in 1915.
4 The regularity with which the chill
dren attend school in Oregon is worthy
of notice. Through the efforts of the
country teachers to keep the attend
ance up to 80 per cent, the average re-
quired before school may be consid-
cred standard, the percentage of daily
attendance in the rural schools is
slightly over 80 per cent, which is
higher than in any other state in the
United States. The percentage of at
tendance in the city schools is still
higher, SO that the average attendance
for the entire state is 94.S per cent.
The number of absences from school
was 2,3l7, 4l0 less last year than dur
ing the previous school year.

OREGON GOES REPUBLICAN
FROM TOP TO BOTTOM

Portland, Nov. 9.-Oregon's five
electoral votes will go to Charles E.
Hughes. He will carry the state over
President Wilson by plurality of ap-
proximately $500 votes. The figure
may be as high as 5000, but not more.
Returns from every county in the
state, excepting Harney county, give
Hughes lead of 6272. The present
figures are: Huhges, 105,s Will
son, SO, 626.
These returns represent approxi-
mately SO per cent of the vote cast.
The missing precincts are in the out
lying districts of the state, including
some~ jim Multnomah county, and are
not expected to affect the result much
either way.
Hughes has carried the outside coun-
ties by plurality well over 1000 and
is maintaining his early lead in this
county.
Hawley, Republican, for representa-
tive in congress in the Western Ore
gon district, has been elected over
Weatherford, Democrat-Prohibition,
by decisive vote, although Weather
ford has carried Linn, his home coun-
ty, and Jackson, which is strongly
Democratic.
Sinnott, Republican Progressive
Democrat, was reelected representa-
tive in congress in the Eastern Oregon
district over Barkley, Socialist.
Macarthur, Republican, was re-elect-
ed representative in the Multnomah
county district over Lafferty, Indepen-
dent, and Jeffrey, Democrat.
State officers, all Republicans, have
been elected as follows: Secretary of
state, Ben w. Olcott; justice Of the
Supreme court, George H. Burnett and
Frank A. Moore; dairy and food COM
John D. Mickle; public
service commissioners, H. H. Corey
and Fred G. Buchtel.

DEMOCRATS LOSE
CONTROL OF HOUSE
Both Major Parties Have us Each
According to Late Returns.
one SEAT REMAINS IN DOUBT
Two Progressives, One Socialist and
One Independent Are Seated
Speakership is in Doubt.

New York - With returns missing
Saturday from only one congressional
district in the United States, the Re
publicans and Democrats each hac
elected 215 representatives. The vote
in New Mexico, which is still in doubt,
probably will determine which party is
to have plurality of one over the 9TH
er. The present member from New
Mexico is Republican.
The balance in the next house will
be held by four men, one a Progress
sive-P -Protectionist from Louisiana, one
an Independent from Massachusetts,,
one Progressive from Minnesota and
the other Socialist from New York.
Their action apparently will determine
the choice of speaker, as well as the
fate of legislation which is supported
or opposed on purely party lines.
In addition to the hope of electing a
congressman-a large from New Mex
leo, the Democrats had one grain of
comfort. 1t was that an official count
may disclose that Thomas J. Scully
has been reelected from the Third
New Jersey district. They contend
the chances were that Scully had been
the victor by few votes over Robert
Carson, his Republican opponent, to
whom the election previously had been
conceded by narrow margin.
A reversal in Iowa, where complete
returns showed the election of George
c. Scott, Republican, over Congress-
man Tom Steele, in the Eleventh dis
trict, and the election of Republicans
in the Second and Third West Virginia
districts, brought about the present
tie. -Four members of other parties
have been elected.
Late returns appeared further to
complicate the congressional situation.
Congressman James ]. Britt, Republi-
can, of the Tenth North Carolina dis
trict, was reported to have defeated
his Democratic opponent, whose cleo
tion previously had been conceded.
The senate remains unchanged, 81
Democrats to AZ Republicans.
