Jf the election officials of a few remote f - precincts Ita a few states know how the v " nation has b^n waiting breathless to hear from them, they mus* be swelled Up enormously with a sefiW of their Importance. #oT^pn those few pre­ cincts has depended .the nation's choice Its chief .CTwatlm;; ' That Mr. Wilson's victory over Mr. /,uH JHughes will not be conceded without a recount in the close states, such as Cal­ ifornia, New Hampshire. New Mexico tod North Dakota, was determined at conferences of the Republican leaders here. Chairman Will cox asserted a re­ count would be demanded wherever the iftargin of Democratic victory was «o small that comparatively few votes %ould turn the scales. He and his a*s* ' jfeociates say they take the position w ; 'V. that there should be no cloud upon Mr. ^v(l "i- * Wilson's title to the presidency. The* || h* • v? , Ipemocrats, for Jheir^ part, declared gSly1j^^e,.-.,;4;Hat there dstist bq a recount in New jr:« - -• - fJHampshirt^, even thoiiph the returns R?.( * J:"^'igave the state to Mr. .Wilson. ' That the returns are still Incomplete Is due' to the presence on the border of |s*$he National Guard, of^ a number of • frtates. The soldiers are permitted to J; vote by mail, their ballots being for­ warded to the auditors of their home counties, and in Minnesota especially „the vote of the guardsmen is likely to. . cut a figure in determining whether the jBt&te goes into the Wilson or the ^fclughes column. ^ , Minnesota was as bad as California *ln the matter of shifts, and as its dele­ gation is neaggf as large, it, too, was watched with the.. intensest interest. !Through <lays and nights of counting, the race was a see-saw, with but a Si ; thousand or so of votes separating the # jCandidates,, Neither side would ad- ' ;«nit <lefeat-.Vvattd e^en now both are Awaiting the soldier vote and the offi­ cial cojwt. Perhaps the most surprising of all fcbie states was New Hampshire. It 11 T jtlone W all New England jfailed to give Republican "candidate a substantial lurality, and' for days no one knew which column it Would land. The ?t,astonishing^elosen«^8 of the vote was shown by the "Hval clalms, three days Rafter the election,%^Q0 plurality fir Hughes and 84 for Wilson. In the cir- Jcnmstances It' is no wonder that the rs, ^managers of both parties should de- is*; \ jnand a recount. f '• v ^ New Mexico, with three ' electoral Q.-1 .yrrf~ - votes, attracted ftational attention by P'acing itself early in the list of doubt- x ' • fal states, and as it goon appeared that |^;4 ' almost every electoral vote would be ^ vital, the returns from £own on the fit border were grabbed hot off the wires. 4 " Rv After veering back; and forth for days, C - * ,New Mexico was definitely placed in fhe Wilson coJamn, .though there, too, if e President's margin was so scanV that a basis was afforded for the call fot^n recoup. A few mistakes dis­ covered In the figures of the precinct officials mi|ht well swing the state over to Hughes. ' »i r WHIeox Demands Recount. ;^ Friday National Chairman Will- WMt of the Republican party handed out the following statement: "The result still depends upon the vote In-a few dose states. It must be borne ia.mlnd that the returns thus far announced are, in most states, un­ official, fthd may be changed by the official coun^ required by the laws of those states. "Twice during this©, unofficial com- PENETRATE LINES ONE MILE *• I: M .. «•#. •vv '*rX K^' '•'.fts * pfitatiotis yesterday in California mis­ takes in additions were announced from that state, substantially changing figures previously given. "Jt is a common experience that the result of the official count almost al­ ways varies from the returns first an­ nounced. "Where the vote is as close as that reported in several states, it may well Delaware be that material changes will result from the official count. "We owe it to the country to take all necessary steps to see that an ex­ act and honest count of the vote is made. When the current seemed to be running against Mr. Wilson on Wednes­ day the Democratic managers an­ nounced their intention to demand a recount in every close state. "All we desire is to make sure that the vote is counted as cast." Both sides conceded that no matter \yhat action might be taken in regard to a recount there was little likelihood of a* contest being carried to the house of representatives as it was after the Hayes-Tilden campaign in 1876. Legis­ lation enacted in 1887, it was said, made the state sovereign in pronounc­ ing judgment in a recount of the pres­ idential vote. >.;• How Congress Stands. With returns missing from only GO* congressional district in the United States, the Republicans and Demo­ crats each had elected ^.5 representa­ tives. The vote in N«w Mexico, which is still in doubt, probably will determine which party is to have a plurality of one over the other. The present mem­ ber from New Mexico is* a Republi­ can. « • The balance of power in the next house will be held by four men, one a Progressive Protectionist from Louisiana, one an independent from Massachusetts, one a Progressive from Minnesota and the other a Socialist from New York. The action of these members ap­ parently jvill determine the choice of a speaker, as well as the fate of legis­ lation which is supported or opposed on purely party lines. The senate remains unchanged, 54 Democrats to 42 Republicans; a Demo­ cratic majority of 12. In addition to the hope of electing a congressman at large from New Mexico, the Democrats had one grain of comfort. It was that an official c6unt may disclose that Thomas J. Scully has been re-elected from the third New Jersey district. An unusual feature of the result is the election of the first woman to con­ gress, Miss Jeanette Rankin, Repub­ lican, apparently havihg been elected in Montana. Women Vote as Dd From the general result it ls "clear that as the men voted in the suffrage states, so did the women. in Illinois men a&d women seemed about equally divided as to prefer­ ence. The state went for Hughes by a big plurality. In Kansas, Colorado, Montana, Washington, Oregon and California. where women also vote, Wilson was successful, but his pluralities were not sufficiently large to Indicate that* tjfie woman voters supported him as a unit. Six States Go Dry. Prohibitionists are jubilant over the results of the election where prohibi­ tion was an issue. From Washington the legislative committee of the Anti- Stiloon league issued a statement, say­ ing: "Prohibition has taken another great leap forward. Michigan has >:oted for state-wide prohibition by 76,000 majority, Nebraska by 35,000, Montana by 20,000 and South Dakota by 25,000. Idaho has adopted a pro­ hibition constitutional amendment by a majority of 3 to 1. Utah lias prob­ ably elected a legislature pledged to enact state-wide prohibition.

"Thus 24 states out of 48--one-half of the states of the Union--have now declaajd for state-wide prohibition --overaO per cent." ' Farm Vote the Factor. There are several great outstanding facts concerning the result of the elec­ tion, one of which is that labor, in all the big industrial states except Ohio, declined to give its undivided support to President Wilsdn despite his claim to it on the score of having persuaded congress to pass the Adnmson "eight- hour" bill. New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, In­ diana, all gave the Republican candi­ date pluralities, and Otyo's vote In fa-' vor of Wilson is not certainly to J>e at­ tributed to the labor vote. Another interesting development was the Independence of trie West, which is asserting that It elected a president without the aid of New York and Penn­ sylvania and other big western and central states. When it was found, early in the evening of .election day, that the empire state had gone for Hughes, the newspapers of the metrop­ olis, even those thut had supported Wilson, conceded the victory to the Republicans, without waiting to hear from the middle West. Wlien the re­ turns came in from these regions, it was found that "the farmer and stock raiser tyrid decided the election. Yet another fact that calls for com­ ment Is that Governor^ohnson of Cal­ ifornia. running on the Republican and Progressive tickets, has been elected to the United States senate by something like 300,000 plurality, and yet the state went Democratic on the presidency.
