F. ESTIMATE OF M'CORMICK Demo Chairman Says Wilson Will Have More Than Three Hundred Votes. MANY STATES ARE CLOSE BULLETIN. New York, Nov. 8. A statement issued at republican national head quarters at 2:30 o'clock this after noon claimed Minnesota, Oregon, California and New Hampshire and asserted that Hughes had obtained 277 electoral votes. New York, Nov. 8. Chairman Will cox of the -republican national com mittee, at 12:50 o'clock, issued this statement: "California and Minnesota arc surely for Hughes. This means Hughes is elected." The statement, he said, was based upon advices from the respective states, claiming California by 10,000 votes and Minnesota by 20,000. Ches ter H. Rowell telegraphed from San Francisco that the republicans could concede everything that the demo crats claim and still carry the state by 6,000. New York, Nov. 8. Democratic Chairman McCormick said' early this afternoon: . "When the count is finished Wilson will have more than 300 electoral votes." ' He added that his advices ver; that West Virginia had gone -democratic hy 10,000. New York, Nov. 8. With the coun try's choice of a president in the al most unorecedented status nf rlrmht on the day after election, both demo-! cratic and republican headquarters were scenes of nervous tension. AlV though both sides claimed majori ties .in the electoral college, there seemed nevertheless to be a feeling at both places there was s chance that . the .determination flfcjthe fin si .result with so many states doubtful might be prolonged perhaps4or another day and there was some unofficial talk that the decision might eventually be thrown into-the house of representa tives. There were suggestions also that there might be in some states bitter contests' over the integrity of the re turns which might be drawn out for days, with the result hinging on a re count. George VW Perkins at repub lican headquarters commenting upon the close vote in some states declared that a recount might be necessary. Warning by McCormick. Chairman McCormick early today sent telegrams "to every state and county chairman where the result appears close commanding them to personally see that the ballot boxes are guarded and protected. Chairman McCormick shortly after 11 o'clock claimed President Wilson's election with 288 electoral votes. "I am basing my decision on the official canvass of pivotal states," he added. it is a sweeping victory. Mr. McCormick claimed Kansas. I A with ten, and Ohio, with twenty-four electoral votes. Returns Shift During Night. During the night the returns from the doubtful states continued to point first toward one candidate and then toward the other, but toward morning there was noticed a steady drift to ward President Wilson.

Returns for president from 2,11'2 precincts out of 3.024 in Minnesota gave Wilson 145, 923; Hughes, 141,976. Wilson's plur ality is now cut to 3,957, the lowest to date. St. Paul, Nov. 8. Returns .for president from 2,083 precincts out of 3,024 in Minnesota give Wilson 144, 310; Hughes, 139,895! St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 8.

Election News Causes Excitement in London London, Nov. 8. The presidential election in the United States excited great interest throughout London.' The, morning papers announced Charles E. Hughes had been elected and this was taken for granted until the tickers and the early evening papers showed that the issue was in doubt. From that time forward ex cited groups assembled in the clubs and hotels scanning the latest returns. The American embassy was besieged for news, many requests coming from British officials. California and Minnesota," North Dakota, Kansas, New and West Virginia are ours. which they have won by a CLOSE BATTLE IN THE GOLDEN STATE Returns From California Show Wilson to Have Slight Lead So Far. STATE IS STILL IN DOUBT : San Francisco, Nov. 8.--Chester H. state central committee, predicted to night Hughes' election in California by g small majority. . Mr. Rowell's statement follows: . "Figures gathered by the Los An geles office of the republican state committee covering more than 1,000 precincts and close estimates of the remaining precincts now indicate that Hughes will carry Los Angeles county Dy :J,UUU. i "The Los Angeles office estimates that this lead will be increased 12,000 more by other Southern California counties. If these figures are borne out by the final count, Hughes will carry California. "Our figures on San Francisco in dicate a majority of little, if anv. above 15,000 for Wilson." ban Francisco, Nov. 8. Chester H. Rowell, chairman of the republican state central committee of Cali fornia, informed Chairman Willcox of the republican national committee in Mew York today that Hughes will carry California by 6,000 to 8,000. This was in answer to Willcox's dec laration that "California is now the pivotal state." Los Angeles, Cat., Nov. 8. Partial count of 693 city and county pre cincts give Hughes 61,373; Wilson, 46,134.

One hun dred city and country precincts give Hughes 11,342; Wilson, 9,637. San Francisco, Nov. 8. Three thousand and ninety-one precincts of 3.917 in California gave Hughe; 246, 182; Wilson 237,586. San Francisco, Nov. 8. Returns available early today indicated that the contest between Wilson and Hughes in California was so close that an official count might be neces sary to determine the result. With 2,152 precincts in various districts of the state out of a total of 5,917 ac counted for. the president was leading by about 700 votes. Owing to the exceptional length of the ballot few precincts had reported in either San Francisco or Los An geles and on the result of the count in those two cities hinged the out come. In San Francisco the city reg istrar estimated that Wilson would have a mainritv rf ?ftfim Wl.ether .hi. ,..u ' .'. certain to be rolled up tor Hughes in the southern California city was the point with which election experts concerned themselves. The Los Angeles returns indicated that the Hughes' majority would not be as heavy as the republican leaders had estimated. Governor Hiram W.

D., Nov. 8. The woman suffrage amendment, which early returns had indicated would carry in South Dakota by a small ma jority, is losing out as later returns come in. In approximately one-half of the 1,728 precincts of the state the state stands: For, 8,472; against, 8,600. Yankton, Campbell and Lin coin counties returned heavy adverse votes.

LOBECK AHEAD OF BAKER Incumbent Has Big Lead for Congress and May Not Be Headed. WHAT THE FIGURES SHOW With slow count in Douglas county and decidedly fragmentary returns, the best possible survey of resulting majorities must be only approximate, but that the work of the "wets" favor ing the state democratic ticket has made a victory for the democratic local ticket almost as a whole is plain. On the presidency. Wilson will go out of Douglas county with a majority over Hughes possibly in excess of the wet majority, which is likely to he between 9,000 and 10,000. The "wets," however, fell far behind their expecta tions, as they were counting on a two to one vote, with a majority amount ing close to 15,000. F.ven in the Third ward the "wet" majority is only an even 1,000, which is no more than it has given once or twice to Mayor JJahlman. For United States senator the pros pect is that Hitchcock will distance Kennedy by something like 2,500 in Douglas, which is a terntic comedown from the 9,000 majority he had when he ran against Burkett six years ago. In the congressional race, Lobeck is substantially ahead of Baker with a probable majority which will re elect him unless overcome in the other counties. The governorship was supposed to be closely connected with they "wet" and "dry fight, but Neville, the "wet" candidate, is not likely to have more than 3,000, if that many, over sutton, in this county. When it comes to the county offices it looks as if all the democrats were carried along on the "wet" wave,' ex cept, possibly Mike Clark, who as republican opponent of Sheriff Mc hShane. is running far ahead of his ticket, with a fair chance of capturing the prize: " ' For His'fficf judges ' the sitting juugca arc ail w?u ill inc icau wiin the exception of Wakeley, who is the low man and may possibly be passed by Judge Dickinson, who is the high man in the field. The citizens school board ticket has won out as a whole, with possible losses of one or two. Bekins seems to be the low man on the citizens' ticket snd Judge W. A. Foster a probable winner among those who were not on that ticket. MR. HUGHES STILL LMDSJH INDIANA With More Than Two-Thirds of State In Republican Plural ) ity is Over Ten Thousand. 0. 0. P. GOVERNOR CHOSEN Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 8. Returns up to 10:30 this morning showed Hughes still leading Wilson in In dians by 10,379. Two thousand one hundred and seventy-eight precincts out of 3,142 in the state gave Wilson 242,764; Hughes, 253,143. Indianapolis. Ind.. Nov. 8.
