WILLCOX WAITS OFFICIAL COUNT IN CLOSE STATES Republican Chairman Will Not Concede Election of Wilson Until Definite Figures Are at Hand. HOUSE WORRIES WILSON President Fears He Will Not Have Working Majority Be hind Him in Congress. POPULAR VOTE GOSSIP New York, Nov. 11. Chairman Willcox called on Mr. Hughes in the afternoon and had an hour's talk with him, after which the chairman reiter ated that the re-election of President Wilson would not be conceded until after the official count. It probably will be a week, he said, before this is completed. New York, Nov. U. With Repub lican National Chairman Willcox still awaiting the official count -in close states before conceding the defeat of Charles E. Hughes in the national election, the latest returns today in the close states of California, Minne sota, New Mexico and New Hamp shire still presented on their face no change affecting the president's ma jority in the electoral college. Mr. Wilson still led in California, New Mexico and apparently New Hampshire, and Mr. Hughes in Min nesota, with only a few districts yet to be accounted for in each state. President Wilson in Williamstown, Mass., was reported to be chiefly con cerned over the complexion of the next congress, which was still in doubt today. The president's plurality over Mr. Hughes in the total popular vote, ac cording to the latest estimate, based upon incomplete returns, is 403,312. His total vote was 8,563,713 and that of Mr. Hughes 8,160,401. . Wilspn Worried Over House. - Williamstown, Mass., . Nov. 11. President Wilson is not concerned over the refusal of the republican campaign managers to concede his re-election. The chief thing worry ing him -is the political complexion of the next house of representatives, because of its effect on his plans for legislation. He has not yet received final information on this point. The president is understood to take the result of the election as a vindica tion of his past course and as ap proval of the general outlines of pol icy in domestic and foreign affairs set forth by him in his speeches as a candidate for re-election, i After his return to Washington to morrow he will catch up immediately on official business, and in the near future will begin the preparation of his December message to congress. Nothing has been given out as to whether he will remain constantly in Washington until congress convenes. The president took a short walk this morning. He was invited to wit ness a foot ball game this afternoon between Massachusetts Agricultural college- and Williams. Un his return trip tonight he will be given a recep tion at Albany, N. Y. Democrats there have organized a parade in his honor and he may speak briefly from the observation platform of his private car. i Vote of New Hampshire Closer Concord, N. H., Nov. 11. Presi dent Wilson received a plurality f 63 votes over Charles E. Hughes in New Hampshire, according to certified re turns from all except small precincts made public by Secretary of State Bean. In arriving at this figure, Mr. Bean announced, he included in the Wilson total 289 votes cast for him in Ward Two, Dover, but omitted through error from certified returns, and by accepting as probably correct the newspaper returns for Dores chester, the missing precinct, which had not reported officially. Hughes Holds Minnesota. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 11. With at least thirty-eight precincts to be heard from in addition to the results of the vote of the soldiers on the border, Mr. Hughes still is maintaining the slight lead he has held over President Wil son for the last two days in Minne sota. The last figures received give the republican nominee a votes. .can u. The special commission sent to gather the 2,138 soldier votes on the border returned to St. Paul today.

MORRISSEY IS IN THE LEAD Two-thirds of the counties and four-fifths of the vote of the state have been heard from, and the re turns tabulated on the heads of the ticket. Sixty-six counties give the drys a lead of 16,418, and the rest of the state will increase this materially. On president, Wilson has 27,648 over Hughes in sixty-six counties, and his lead will also be increased. ' Hitch cock is 11,175 ahead of Kennedy in seventy-seven counties. Sutton is running closer to Neville, being but 5,295 behind in seventy-one counties. Neville's lead is safe enough to insure his election, however, as the twenty two counties still to hear from will very likely increase this. Chief Justice Andrew M. Morrissey has a lead of 3,335 over Justice Jacob M. Fawcett for the office of chief jus tice of the supreme court in the sixty seven counties heard from. For as sociate justices Cornish, Sedgwick and Dean are leading, the latter hav ing pulled up ahead of Judge Barnes. Fred Beckman, running; for re-election as land commissioner, is the only republican candidate on the state ticket who has any chance for win ning, but even he has fallen behind Shumway, democrat.

Kard Armga rad Graves, a magazine writer of New York, was arrested by Department of Justice officials here today, charged with attempted blackmail of Countess von Bernstorff, wife of the German ambassador. The arrest was made after the em bassy officials complained that Graves had tried to sell them what purported to be letters from persons in Germany to the countess and members ot the embassy staff and other documents appearing to be official cipher dis patches from the Berlin government to the embassy. Uthcials said the letter on which the formal charge against the prisoner was based appar ently, was a communication to the countess from a cousin m Germany, Smyth in Prospect For Federal Judge r. ...... 1. c ai. . i : J-h.evivai 0f the candidacy of Constan - tine J. Smyth of Omaha for appoint ment to a federal judgeship. It is re membered that Mr. Smyth, who has been an assistant to the attorney- general, was strongly recommended for the succession to Judge Munger which went to Judge Woodrough and it was generally understood at that time that his claim was held in abey ance lor the next vacancy. A vacancy now - exists on the federal court of appeals for this district through the death ot Judge Adams ot St. Louis, and still another vacancy if pros- yect by the expected rctircTjut ot udge Sanborn, who has completed the necessary period of service to en title him to retire. Mr. Smyth's friends are expecting him to be named for one of these places, although probably no appointment will be made until congress convenes in Decemeber, because ratification by tne senate is needed. Japanese Favor Wilson; Feared Protective Tariff Tokio, Nov, ll.-.The election of President Wilson is welcomed by the Japanese press, which praises his peaceful disposition and believes his continuation in office augurs well for the furtherance of American-Japanese friendship. Business circles are pleased, as they feared a republican protective tariff would be a blow to , Japanese exports to America.

THIS MAY-BE CHANGED Further Returns May Cause Shift in Situation, it Is Believed. DEM LEADS IN NEW MEXICO New York, Nov. 11. The probable complexion of the Sixty-fifth con gress was further complicated today by late returns from one close district and a reclassification of the politics of three members of the California delegation. The count in the one doubtful district, that in New Mexico, is not vet complete, but theelection of Walton, democrat, is probable, according to latest returns. A reversal in the Tenth North Car olina district, where complete re turns indicate tne election ot con gressmen J. critt, republican, by a plurality of thirteen votes, broke the tie which existed on the tace of the returns, for congress, up to last night. A reclassification of tht. politics of three members of the elected Califor nia delegation, John J. Nolan in the Fifth district, Everis A. Hayes in the Eighth and Charles H. Randall in the Ninth, in accordance with their polit ical designation in the Congressional Record, also apparently was favorable to the republican side. The names of the three members appeared on the republican and dem ocratic tickets, and Kandau, in addi tion, was also on the progressive ticket, in the returns as previously announced two had been credited as democrats and one as a republican. The Congressional Record, however, classes Nolan as a progressive, Hayes as a republican and Randall as a pro hibitionist. As a result of these changes the republicans from present indications will have a small plurality in the house, latest figures giving them 216 members, the democrats, 213, and other parties, six. There are a number of close dis tricts where on the face of complete returns members are apparently elect ed by very small pluralities. 1 lie Third New Jersey district, where Kouerc varson, republican, is appar ently selected bv eleven votes over Thomas I. Scullyrdemocrat, and pres ent member ot congress, is a case in point. The official count next week may change some ot these close dis tricts. - Germans Deny Any Serious Losses in , Big Battle in Air Berlin, Nov. 11. (By Wireless to Sayville.) The following announce ment is from the admiralty: 'On the night of November 9-10 hostile airplanes dropped bombs without success on Ustend and Ltt- brugge (Belgium).

Goethals, governor of the Panama canal zone, will pass into the retired list of the army on his own application, dating from No vember 15, next. Army orders today show President Wilson-has approved his application for retirement after forty years of service. The order of retirement affects only General Goethals' military status and does not operate to relieve him from duty as governor Of the canal zone, hut is preliminary to his retirement. He probably will be succeeded by Lieutenant Chester Harding, engi neers corps, now acting governor. General Goethals has been selected by President Wilson" as chairman of the eight-hour commission, which will review the effect of the Adamson law. It has been understodd that General Goethals desires to free himself from canal duties and rest before taking up this new task. , ,v MISS PYRTLE LEADS FOR TEACHERS' HEAD Nominations of State Associa tion Are Made, to Be Voted Upon Next Month.

Insomia had been his chief complaint of late, and .he was very much worried over his condition. To. J. E.

NORTHWESTERN ROAD ONE .Chicago, Nov. 11. A fine totaling more than $171,000, was assessed by Federal Judge Landit today against Swift and Company, -packers, and a number of railroads convicted of vio lating the interstate commerce act In most of the, cases the charges were rebating or in shipping less than carload ' shipments at carload rates. . J ' Swift and Company were fined $60-000; the. Penneylvania railroad $20,000; the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern railroad, $20,000; the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. ' Louis, $20,000, in one case, and $50,000 in an other. North Western Fined. In addition fines ranging from $100 to $1,000 were assessed against the Chicago & North Western railroad, the Indiana Harbor Belt railroad and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.. Paul.

S. for Recognition Washington, Nov. 11. Formation of the new kingdom of Arabia, with Grand Shcrif Hussein Ben Ali as Monarch and Mecca as the capital was reported to the State department today in an undated telegram from Mecca signed by Sherif Abdullah, minister of foreign affairs. The Ara bic nation, Abdullah said, would henceforth be an active member of the society of nations and confidently looked forward to recognition by th United States. The new kingdom re suited, he said, from an unanimous meeting of the notables and citizens of the country, who definitely threw off the yoke of the committee of the union and progress at Constantinople. The State department knows noth ing of the new foreign minister and little of the circumstances surround ing the proclamation of the kingdom and does not know how to reach the foreign minister's office in the absence" of any consular or diplomatic repre sentative in Arabia. Investigation into the situation, however, may be possible through British or French sources, The request for recognition is ex pected to be met in much the same way as other government attaches during the war. Egypt when the new khedivate was established in Decem ber, 1914, consular officers were in structed to recognize the new officials as de facto. With respect to the new government of Poland the United States will postpone final action until peace it established. I .

Ill The Manchester Guardian attributes President Wil son's success to the rallying of a auf ficient number of the progressive votes which Roosevelt gained in 1912. "It seems a small thing," thit newt paper continues, "but yet It may Indi cate a new epoch in American po litical life. The. progressive move ment arose entirely independently of foreign . politics. Many progressive , votes given to Wilson are given with the mental reservation that they will not go again to a democratic candi date unless Wilson confirms the faith . of- the progressives by consolidating what is still only tentative. If he does that he will have established himself as the ablest statesman since Lin coln and he may be destined to play a part in the achievement of peace, which, will give him a place in world history." . . , Indiana Republicans Elect Full Ticket ' Indianapolis, Nov., 11.
