ColumbiiR. O. , Nov. 8. The result
of tint rind Ion In Ohio might Rtlll In1
coiiRldouid doubtful , although the
Democratic loaders claimed thu elec
tion of Pattlson and the entire Demo

whllo the Republicans simply refused
to concede such a claim , Insisting that
the ictuniH were Inslllclont to Indi
cate anything except that the vote
had been very heavy and that ih
amount of scratching had made count
ing very slow. In the cities the Ro-
puhllran Ions exceeded 100 to the
precinct , but as the loss outside of the
largo cities was , so far as reported ,
only about Ihlrly per product , thorn
was no certainty that the loss would
run high enough to wlpo out the iilll- )

attracted wide interest , was swept line
ofllce by a majority which approached
that which his county gave a year
ago , when the local tlckot had the
help of the national ticket to carry it
along. Ho carried his ticket through

Into Jersey City again , and Mayor
Pagan , who is an Independent Repub

many Hnll. ai.rt his le-puted wealth ,
and the result practically Is a doleat
for Murphy as well as tor Osborne
The following statement was issued
b > W. R. Hearst"Ws have won this
election All Tammany s frauds , all
Tammany's conuption. all Tammany's
intimidation and violence , ull Tam
many's false registration , Illegal voting
ing and dishonest count , have not been
able to overcome a great popular ma

wo have won the election by many
thousands of votes. 1 shall fight this
to the end , in behalf of the people
who cast their votes for me nnd who
thall not bo disfranchised by any ef
fort of criminal bosses. "
An analysis of the vote for mayor
shows that Hearst polled a little rnoro
than 200,000 votes , and that apparent
ly these votes \\c-ro drawn almost
en.ur.lly from the Democratic and Re
publican parties , McClollan's vote.-
this year was about 11,0'JO ' smaller
than his vote of two years ago. while
Ivins' vote was about 25,000 smaller
than Low's vote of two years ago
These figures , however , may not bo
entirely accurate , in view of the fact
that a number of Republicans voted
for McClellan In order to aid in thf :
clotcat of Hearst. Hearst's large vote
shows that tbe Municipal Ownership
league must be reckoned with as a
factor In the city s politics Color's
election as the preslcl-nt of the bor
ough of Biooklyn gives the league
representation on the board of esti
mate and apportionment , which has
control of the city expenditures It
Is estimated that this board will di
rect the outlay of $000,000,000 during
the next four years
The weather was Ideal , aiding great
ly in the polling of a largo vote. Thoru
was little disorder , and although many
urrosts were made , they frequently
were due to misunderstanding or clcr
leal errors , and only a few men were
held for trial.
Mom splitting of tickets was done
probably than ever before , yet the
vet ng was unusually rapid. An Inci
dent of the clay was the desertion of
several hundred of Mr. Hearst's poll
watchers , who wont ever to the oppo
sition.
Indiana.
Indianapolis , Nov. 8. Returns from
f,6 cities In Indiana indicate that the
Republicans ha\o been victorious In

The elections in many cities developed
Biiipiise * , chief i.uiong which was the
del oat of the Lepublican tickets nt
Kvnnsville and Richmond. Mayor
Bidaman , candidate for re-election on
the Republican ticket at Terre Haute ,
was defeated by James H. Lyons
( Dem. ) , who conducted bis campaign
on the Issue of munic.pal owneishlp
The early reports , though very
meager , weio so strongly in favor ot
Pattison that his election was bulletined
lotined nnd announced in many of the
extras , but as fuller returns came In
showing reduced ratio of gains the
Republicans became more hopeful and
the Democrats refused to give out
any statements , although they still
maintained that they had gained a
notatfle victory.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SMASHED
ALL PRECEDENTS ON TRIP.
WAS TWENTY-FIVE MILES OUT
Technically , It is Claimed by the Experts -
perts , the President Was Not Outside
United States Territory Because He
Trod a Man of War.
Washington , Nov. G. The old the
ory that the president ot the United
States Is barred from going outside
the country has received a good deal
of a jolt , now that President Roosevelt
velt has made the trip from Now Or
leans to the mouth of Chesepeu'ke bay
by warship. At times the boat was
considerably farther away from shore
than the three miles which measure
the jurisdiction of this country on the
water , and this was especially the case
during the heavy gale which blow
while the West Virginia was coming
up the coast off the Carolluas. The
situation demanded that the vessels
take to the open water to avoid the
shoals , and al one time It Is said that
they \\ero easily twouty-llvo miles
from land.
Technically , it Is claimed by the ex
perts , the president wab not outsldo
the jurisdiction of the country , einco
he was treading the deck of an Amor-
j lean man of war , and was thus , strict
ly speaking , not on foreign territory ;
but the old precedent dies hard , and
many people in this city say the presi
dent hud no business to make this
trip by sea , and that when he' made
it he ran counter to tbo unwritten law
of the country , and perhaps to Its writ
ten law also.
Commander of Navy.
The reply to this objection is that
tbe president Is the commauder-lu-
chiol ot the army and navy , which po
sition gives him the right , when he
so desiies , to assume in person the
active direction of the forces , either
on land or sea. Obviously , ho could
lot exercise this right on the sea
without going outside the country , and
so the constitutional experts claim
that the makers of the constitution
never Intended to put into that Instru
ment anything which would render It
out of the question for the president ,
at will , to go aboard a war vessel , and
direct the movements of a licet , wheth
er in American waters or on the high
seas.
Roosevelt Luck.
President Roosevelt's proverbial
uck followed him during bis southern
trip. He came within an ace of a se
rious accident when he was being con
veyed to the West Virginia at , Now
Orleans , and coming by the Carolina
capes and shoals a terrific gale began
; o blow , compelling the squadron to
turn out the high seas.
In Now Orleans ho ran the risk of
yellow fovcr contagion , and whether
the risk was small or great , the fact
that he ran it at all caused many of
his friends to bo anxious. But ho has
escaped without hurt , and when he
stepped off the Dolphin at the Wash
ington navy-yard he looked ns trim and
tine as ho ever looked In all his life ,
and showed by his every movement
that the trip bad done him much good
physically.
It is now his plan to settle down and
be president without taking any more
trips. The recent visit to the old
south took him through the remaining
states which ho had not seen whllo
president , and thus rounded out his
national Itinerary.
His Narrow Escapes.
President Roosevelt , It will be re
membered , had a narrow escape from
serious accident while riding In a
conch through Massachusetts a few
years ago. Secret Service Officer
Craig who was In the same coach with
him , was instantly killed , and several
others of the occupants were more or
less severely injured ; hut the presi
dent escaped without a scratch.
His horseback experiences on the
country roads about Washington have
been thrilling. Once his horse fell - Awhile
while jumping a fence , and came near V J
pinning him to the ground. At anoth
er time he was almost run down by
an automobile whllo making a sharp
turn on ono of the country roads in
the Chevy Chase neighborhood. And
on still another occasion he was on a
fractious horse which seemed deter
mined to jump oft a bridge with him. >
His escorts on all these occasions '
trembled for his safety , and ho was
the only person In the party , each
time , who apparently did not recog
nize the Immediate presenceof dan
ger.
