ties in the electoral college there
seems nevertheless to be a feeling

there was unofficial talk that the de-
Cision might eventually be thrown

of 10000. Governor Philip, the re.

MINNESOTA SWINGS
SAFELY TO HUGHES
Last Minute News Favors a
Very Close Republican
Victory

The last word from Minnesota is
that Hughes has a lead of GIL votes
with only 1856 precincts missing.
Early returns from the big cities gave
Wilson a lead of 20, 900 in the state
and this lead has been steadily cut
down as the country precincts report
ed. Minnesota would appear to now
be safely for Hughes, except that the
vote of the soldiers on the border may
reduce his lead. He will probably
carry the state by thousand.
Late yesterday Hughes was leading
in North Dakota and New Mexico,
while Wilson had a slight lead in
California. The closeness of the race
in California indicates that the elect
oral vote of the state may finally be
split because the voters there vote for
individual electors.
Since the following table was pre-
pared, Minnesota has left the doubtful
column for Hughes, New Hampshire
complete has gone for Hughes by
161, Oregon is now counted in the
Hughes column. Hughes is leading
in North Dakota, aud these five votes
should be changed from Wilson to the
doubtful Hughes votes. New Mexico
is still doubtful, but Hughes is lead
ing.
The states shown for Hughes, with
Minnesota, New Hampshire and Ore
.gon give Hughes 264 votes. He will
be elected if he holds New Mexico or
gains part of California.
