CoX's NEWSPAPER GIVES
 ELECTION TO HARDING

Dayton, Ohio. Nov. 2.-Governor Cox's newspaper. the Dayton News, issued an extra edition shortly before II o'clock tonight, conceding the election of Senator Harding. the republican candidate, as president.
 Announcement that the extra would be issued was made at the governors news paper office at 1915 o'clock, and soon afterward word came from New York that Chairman White also had conceded Senator Harding's election. At that time the governor was in his private office at his newspaper plant, where he spent the evening with members of his family watching the returns.
 Reporters, who called. found ihe gov ernor smiling and smoking cigar. He showed no emotion, an attitude he had maintained throughout the evening, fol- lowing a day spent quietly at his home here. Friends who visited him during the evening said the candidate realized his defeat long before the appearance of his newspaper extra Mrs. Cox also seemed unaffected, as did the governors daughter, Mrs. D. H. Mahoney.
 Apparently the most consoling news of the evening for the candidate was unof- ficial returns. showing in 5 of the 265 precincts in Montgomery county includ- ing Dayton that Governor Cox led his opponent 5,G1S votes to 5000 The coun- ty, democratic headquarters. however, re ported that Harding carried Carronts the governors own precinct, by tweiye votes

 At the rate the Harding column was growing at that hour the republican plu- rality in the state of New York would be around the unprecedented figure of more than q million. New York city normally democratic, was going for Harding by at least half a million.
 The governorship fight continude close with republican managers claiming the defeat of Governor Smith. Pennsylvania returns at that hour showed Harding leading Cox three to one and Senator Penrose elected. Massachu- setts was promising Harding the great est plurality ever given a presidential candidate in that state. Boston had gone for republican for the second time in it's history and had given Harding a greater lead over Cox than it gave Mo Kinley over Bryan in 1896. 1 Returns from half of Vermont gave Harding a three to one lead over Cox Hughes beat Wilson two to one there in 1916.
 | In the home district of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hal Hard ing beat Cox two to one, Maine reported Harding leading Cox by the largest plu- rality ever given presidential candidate Ohio, one-fifth complete, showed a grow.

 In the New York senatorial race Sena tor Wadsworth was leading his demo cratic opponent, Lieutenant Governor Walker. Senators Brandegee of Connec ticut and Moses of New Hampshire, op lponents of the league of nations, bolt lseemed certain of reelection.
 The late closing of polls in the west. ern states, the difference in time, long ballots and a greatly increased vote wer the causes of the late returns from thu | west.
