DEMAND A RECOUNT
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
Democrats Act Despite Lead
There-Both Headquarters
Remain Confident.
"FRAUD" CRY DENOUNCED

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 9.-Henry
Morgenthau, in charge of democratic
headquarters, this morning, in the alb
sence of Chairman Mccormick. said
that a recount would be demanded for
the vote in New Hampshire. This, he
said. would be done in spite of the fig
ures received this morning showing
that Wilson had lead of SO votes. He
added that the democratic figures show
that the Wilson lead was 500 votes, and
in view of the complex situation in
that state a recount in any event would
be necessary. Instructions to the DEM
ocratic committee in New Hampshire
to demand the recount had already
gone forward, he said.

Seeing That Laws Are obeyed.

I'VE have not called upon the Attor-
ney General of the United States for
United States district attorneys or 9th
er officials of the government to super
wise the counting of votes in any state.
The voIIng machinery of each state is
under the administration of state au-
thoritIes. and our representatives in
each state will take all needful steps
to see that the election laws have been
obeyed and all votes properly counted
THE call for an honest count which
we demand would be Joined in and will
be requested by all right-thinking citi-
zens of whatever party.
I'VE are entirely willing to have ev-
cry dollar of our expenditures investi-
gated in the most thorough manner.
We have made reports in detail under
the law, and if other details are want
ed we will give them. l leave it to our
democratic opponents to say whether
they will do the same.

Chairman willcox's Statement.

Republican Chairman William R.
Wilcox at noon made this statement
in regard to the matter of supervising
the counting of votes in close states:
$50 far as the claims of the Wilson
followers go they began to cry fraud
before the election. The history of that
party is such that it i'll becomes them
to raise the cry of fraud at this time.
All right thinking people concerned in
the election want an honest count. The
republican national committee will in
sist that the votes cast for its candi-
date be counted for him. but we want
no votes not properly cast.
I'VE will take every step to see that
the votes cast are properly counted.
The bluster of the democratic leaders
has no effect on our effort to see that
an honest count shall be had.

GERMANY ADMITS
SINKING OF ARABIA
Continued from page !

there is no warrant for the suggestion
that the Arabia was a transport. Not
only were there women and children on
board as passengers. but. so far as is
known, there were no "workmen SOL
diers" or other combatant persons on
the ship. There is doubt, also, as TO
whether the vessel was actually out Of
the trade routes.
All these questions, however. are re-
garded AS beside the mark. The fact
stands out that the master of the sub
marine fired without warning after
only such imperfect observation as
could be made through a periscope, and
that the German government defends
this method of attacking vessels.
