New Hampshire Vote Is
Still Regarded in Doubt,
Although Wilson Is Ahead

Concord, N. H., Nov. 10.-Certified
returns from 2S3 precincts out of 294
In New Hampshire give Hughes, A.
045; Wilson, 42,2S4. Wilson's lead
239.
These figures according to Secretary
of State Bean include the return of
the clerk of Ward 2, Keene, who GER
titled that Wilson electors received no
votes there, although press figures
credited them with 1875. Efforts are
being made to correct this return,
which the Secretary of State believed
to be an error. Its effect would be to
increase the Wilson plurality.
Press returns from eleven precincts
not accounted for in the certified fig
ures gave Hughes, 1870; Wilson,
1850. AS a result the vote of the
State is still regarded in doubt,

after the Hayes-Tilden campaign in
1876. Legislation enacted in 1887, 1t
was said made the State sovereign in
pronouncing judgment in a recount
OF the presidential vote.
Contest Over Electors
In three States, however, there
were prospects of contests over one
elector in each instance. The eligi-
bility of a Democratic elector in
Texas has been questioned because he
is said to be an Office holder and the
federal laws prohibit a person hold
ing office from serving as an elector
One of the Democratic electors in
Washington died just before election
day and the party managers attached
pastors to the ballots, substituting an
other name for his. The legality of
this procedure has been questioned
by the Republicans. A somewhat SINH
lar case has arisen in West Virginia
where one of the Republican electors
refused to run and the Republicans
resorted to pastors bearing another
name in place of his.
Up to the time Republican head
quarters here were closed soon after
midnight, the party leaders gathered
there refused to concede defeat They
seemed to base their confidence upon
the assumption that Something might
happen" in California. Mr.. Hughes
was told before he retired for the
night that California had gone against
him but he had no comment to make.
Democratic headquarters were cleo
trified by the announcement of the
result IN California transmitted to
Chairman Mccormick Dy the Asso-
cited Press. The chairman was es-
pecially gratifed because he had been

ton that Wilson could be elected even

Await Suffrage Analysis
Mr.. Wilson is the only President
ever elected with the solid East"
against him. His victory was believed
by politicians to presage an align
ment for the first time in Congress of
the West with the South. 1t was
pointed out that while he would not
have "a working majority in the
lower house he would not have to
bat majority inimical to his
policies.
There was much speculation to-
day among suffragists as to the part
played by women in the election.
Analysis of their vote was eagerly
awaited. While President Wilson lost

so the provisions of the ordinance as
passed originally by Council will be
rigidly enforced.
No definite line of procedure. how
over. will be mapped out until the
Mayor Is certain as to the relation
between the jitneys and the Public
Service Commission.
New Jitncy Rules
In the Mayors opinion the jitneys
should be considered as public car
riers" the same as the trolley cars
and that the provisions of the city Or
dinances insofar as they apply to the
regulation of this type Of utility should
be followed out as carefully with one
as the other.
Here are some of the important reg
ulations which the Mayor declared will
be insisted upon:
Fares to be the uniform charge
of five cents to all points within
the city limits.
JitneyS must run the same
hours as THO trolley cars.
Drivers or chauncurs must be
OF exemplary character and dare
not be drinking men. incidentally
every man who is granted a Ii
cense must be enough of o me-
chanician to enable him to repair
his car or move 1t out of the
street should II breakdown threat
en- a traffic congestion.
Traffic Problems
Traffic regulations must be
strictly adhered to.
Parking of jitneys will not be
permitted in the downtown streets,
especially Market street and Mar
ket Square, and the cars will be
allowed to stop only so long as
will be required to discharge or
take on passengers.
Whether or not the jitncurs will

able to distinguish 'em in n
crowd" said he.
A License Bureau
Until I learn just how this new
Jitney law Is affected by the Public
Service Commission, l can't say just
what We'll do" declared the Mayor.
One thing is certain; the question of
licensing of these drivers will be up
to the police department and you can
rest assured that the fitness of the ap-
plicant will be passed upon. Not
everybody that applies will necessar-
lily get license; were not going to
look after the out-of-to town fellows. If
a man comes here from a nearby town
to run a machine, he's got to live here.
If he's a drinking man he'd better
not apply. Speeding of the jitneys
isn't going to be permitted. Just how
to conveniently pass upon these ap-
plicants is a question, although I've
an idea in mind to establish a sort of a
bureau here, to consist. say, of Chief
of Police Wetzel, some other man well
trained in automobile operation, and
myself. This is all embryonic, how
take up with City Solicitor Seitz, and
IL he isn't we'll enough We'll have to
see his assistant. Mr.. Taylor.
More Congestion
ITO my mind the jitneys will be
public carriers and they should be
treated as such and should act accord
ingly.
will the appearance of large
number of jitneys rather increase
your traffic problems?" the Mayor
was asked.
Very materially So" he replied.
That's another matter We'll have to
regulate. OF late we've been handling
the crowds on the Square very prop
erly, but 1t is an ever-growing job.
One-way Streets
Recommendations are now pending
in Council" went on the Mayor, rel
ative to making Third and Fourth
streets and Second, Fourth, Front and
even Market street and Market Square
as 'one-way' routes for traffic. 1 mean
to look into that problem as soon as
City Solicitor Seitz Is able to be about
an ordinance on the one
way problem should be prepared and
I think Council would do we'll to
thresh out this whole matter at a spe-
cial meeting"
