Former Justice Desires That No Cloud
Rest on Title of Next
President

New York, Nov. 11.-Charles r.
Hughes, while not conceding that he
has been defeated for President, made
it clear yesterday that he would coun-
tenance no hasty or ill-considered
charges of fraud being made against
the Democrats by Republican cam
paign managers in the contest proceed
ings they are planning.
In a conference with Chairman Will
lam r. Wilcox and George w. Wicker
sham, Mr.. Hughes declared that in the
absence of absolute proof of fraud no
such cry should be raised to becloud
the title of the next President of the
United States. This attitude was
announced In a statement by Chair
man Wilcox after his talk with Mr..
Hughes. Supplementing this state
ment Mr.. Wilcox said last night
that no step looking to a recount in
close States would be taken until af-
ter an official count of the vote had dis
closed good reasons for such action.
The headquarters of the Republican
National Committee, in the Postal
Life Building, Forty-third Street and
Fifth Avenue, were deserted yester-
day by all except the leaders of the
Hughes campaign OF these little
group met in an atmosphere of gloom
to talk over the contemplated contest
proceedings.

VERMONT TURKEYS RARE
Chittenden County Flocks 20 Per Cent
Below Average

The Vermont turkey is this year
just as fine and tat bird as in other
years. but not so numerous by long
way. Therefore, being choice bird
both in and outside of the state, he
will cost more. according to the Bur.
lington Free Press.
How much more remains to be seen.
Manager S. p. Page of Swift e. Co.
says six or seven cents more a pound
than last year to the dealers, which of
course means the same amount pre-
sumably to those who eat them.
There are comparatively few large
tiooks, and farmers in many cases are
holding off for higher prices. One OF
the big houses may not buy any Yer
mont turkeys, says its manager. A
local butcher has contracted for about
200 birds, at the market price at time
of purchase. Western and southern
turkeys will be about as abundant as
usual. Vermont, however, prefers its
own birds if it can get them.
Milton, the Georgias-East Georgia,
West Georgia and Georgia Plains
Starksboro, Huntington and to a less
extent the island, Grand Isle, Isle La
Motto and North and South Hero, are
the chief producers in the northern
end of the state. The islands poultry
is usually pretty plentiful.
The biggest flock yet heard from is
one in the Georgias, said to number
several score birds.
Michigan is one of the chief produc-
ers westward and Kentucky in the
South Virginia and Iowa, Minnesota,
Illinois, etc, are other states that fur.
nish more than enough turkey for
home eating.
The lowest price mentioned in town
yesterday was 81 to 80 cents to re.
tailers. Wholesalers seemed agreed
that 35 to 40 cents would be about
the figure they would have to charge
retailers. One big wholesaler has had
some call for western turkey and Ia
just beginning to buy Vermont birds
Vermont turkey is expected to be in
the usual demand in Boston, where il
ranks hardly second even to Rhode
Island turkey. New York usually pre-
fers Kentucky turkey, but isn't very
squeamish one way or the other.
There is a bigger supply, relative to
that of any recent year, of chickens
than turkeys in the state mo fancy
chickens are coming in says the
Howes' market. 81 look for a high

MANY TELEPHONE CALLS
N. E. Tel. and Tel. Co. Very Busy
Curing Election


BY far the busiest place in town on
election day and the days following
was the local telephone office. On
Tuesday evening beginning about $50
and continuing until after II o'clock,
the force handler about 600 extra calls
most of them being for the Banner Of

nounced that they had no returns.
From midnight until 6 in the morning
when 70 calls is regarded as unusual,
there were 27S received.
On Wednesday the biggest bust
ness was done The rumor that
Hughes might not be elected coming
just before noon made the number of
calls between noon and one O'Clock
increase from three TO six hundred.
The total for the day was 1921. the
normal being about 6400 These
numbers would have been larger, but
many people. finding. the line busy.
did not call again On the same day
the toll calls were increased fifty per
cent. On Thursday the number was
again about normal
Great credit must be given to the
members of the telephone force for
their efficient work in handling such
an enormous amount of business. At
no time was the service other than
the best and Bennington should be
proud Of being so well served at such
time

HEADQUARTERS DESERTED
Democrats Need $4,000 More for
Campaign.

New York, Nov. 11-Republican ma
tiOnal headquarters were deserted
early last night. Chairman w. r..
Wilcox announced that he would not
be on hand again except for confer
ences. The democratic national com
mittee apparently considers the cam
paign closed, for the work OF dis
mantling headquarters is well under
way. Chairman Vance c. Mccormick
spent the night at hotel in New
York city and probably will go to his
home at Harrisburg today. Henry
Morgenthau, chairman of the democra-
tic finance committee announced yes
terday that the committee is now
$4,000 short, owing to the expenses
of the last few days of the campaign
and since election.
