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.

The special commission sent to
gather the 2,138 soldier votes on the
border returned to St. Paul today.

NEBRASKA VOTE ON
THE STATEOFFICERS
Democrats Make Clean Sweep
of the State Without Any
Exception.
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.

Writer Accused of
Trying to Blackmail
Countess Bernstorff
Washington, Nov. 11. 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.

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). One British ma
chine was forced down and was cap
tured, and the aviator, a British of
ficer, was made prisoner. . -
Un the morning ot November 1U
a German battleplane attacked two
British biplanes between Nieuport
and Dunkirk. It shot down one and
forced the other to retreat.
"In the forenoon three of our bat
tleplanes met a superior British aerial
squadron ott ustend and attacked it
immediately. After a combat the en
emy was forced to withdraw. Our
machines returned to their base, hav
ing suffered insignificant damages.1
The British war office announced
last night that thirty British airplanes
had encountered a hostile squadron
of thirty to forty machines which was
dispersed after a battle during which
six of the hostile machines were ob
served to begin to fall, although they
were not seen to hit the ground.
Nine other German airplanes were
said to have been driven down in
damaged condition. Seven British
machines were said to be missing.

Governor Goethals Retires
From Army This Week
Washington, Nov. 11. Major Gen
eral George W. 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

DEAD JNjlS OFFICE
Widely Known Pianist and Ak-Sar-Ben
Composer Ends
Life With Revolver.-
WAS DEPRESSED OF LATE
Sigmund Landsberg, widely known
Omaha pianist, . composer and in
structor, was found snot through tht
heart yesterday afternoon In his office,-
302 Lyric building. Eighteenth
and Farnam streets. The authorities
assert the evidence points conclu
sively to suicide.
William Saalfeldt,, 1706 Canton
street, janitor of the building made
the discovery after 3 o'clock. The
body was lying face down on the
floor, a revolver near the right hand,
and the thumb through the trigger
guard. Saalfedt had gone., to the of
fice to deliver a package? In the
morning he had spoken to the pianist,
but the latter acted in a queer man
ner and did not answer.
Coroner Crosby asserted that
Landsberg had been dead several
hours when the body was found, '
Born in Germany.
Mr. Landsberg was born in Ger
many and after coming to this coun
try, settled in South Omaha more
than twenty-five years ago, and a few
years latter moved to Omaha.. For
more than three years up to the)pres
ent time he had lived at the home
of Mrs. Cassie Riley, 829 Park ave
nue. According to Mrs. Riley, he was
possessed of a most sunny disposition
until recently, when he suffered a
nervous breakdown. Insomia had
been his chief complaint of late, and
.he was very much worried over his
condition.
To. J. E. Brill, 2'0 Park avenue, a
close friend, he spoke on several oc
casions of consulting specialists about
his condition. The last few days he
seemed more depressed than ever.
He had told Mrs. Riley that recent
business transactions -had not gone
as he had expected.
Worried Oyer Relatives.
Besides he had worried great deal
over relatives in the war, according to
other friends, and was constantly
fearing that he would receive bad
news from the old country. A sister
lives there and a brother, George in
Kansas City, and Carl in Chicago.
He was not married. In Omaha he is
survived bv two uncles. M. Wollstein
of the Wollstein Liquor company and
E. Seligsohn, a cousin; Mrs. W. L.
Harris, 722 South Twenty-seventh
street. Coroner Crosby .will hold an
inquest.
Mr. Landsberg wrote the music for
Uthc Ak-Sar-Bcn show this year, and
had written the music for one other
Ak-Sar-Bcn show. He had composed
several songs and piano numbers, and
was familiarly known to the musical
public as Phillip Ambrose, under
which non-dc-plume, ihc wrote many
pieces. A number of his composi
tions were dedicated to Omaha musi
cians. . Member of Clef Club.
He was a member of the Clef club
of which several prominent Omaha
musicians are members, and played
the accompaniments for soloists at
the annual Saengerfest. Mr. Lands
berg was well known and liked, par
ticularly throughout the city and the
state where his association with the
Ak-Sar-llen entertainment had won
him considerable fame.
His death came as a severe shock
to his friends and relatives. The lat
ter assert that they can give np rea
son that would explain in any way
his suicide,

of Violating Rate Law.
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.
These fines were in most instances
for failure to comply with the twen-tv-four-hour
cattle law which pro
hibits allowing live stock to remain
in freight cars more than twenty-
eight hours at a stretch without at
tention, .
The Pennsylvania fine and the $20,
000 fine against the Pittsburgh. Cin
cinnati, Chicago & St. Louis were for
rebating to the W..H. Merritt com
pany, Chicago Board of Trade firm
while the $50,000 fine was for rebat
ing to B. A. ' Fokhart, head of the
Fokhart milling company. Mr. Fok

thrown out of court by Federal
Judge Anderson.
Charge Against Swift.

pany was that it shipped less than
carload shipments to Michigan points
at the carload rates.
New Kingdom of
Arabia Asks the
U. 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.

British Paper -Thinks
Moosers
Elected Wilson
London, Nov. 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 .
