HUGHES SILENT AS RETURNS COME IN Eagerly Reads Newspapers and Dispatches From Doubt ful States New York, Nov. 8. Charles E. Hughes awoke at 8 o'clock this morn ing after sleeping nearly seven hours, and a minute later was reading the newspapers and latest dispatches from doubtful States. \ The private telephone wires between the nominee's rooms and Republican national headquarters were kept busy and on the basis of incomplete re turns tabulations were prepared for his perusal. Chairman Willcox com municated with the nominee and de clared belated reports were reassur ing. Mr. Hughes adhered to hLs deter mination of last night to make no comment and issue no statement un til the result was beyond doubt. He breakfasted with Mrs. Hughes and their three daughters. Newspapers were propped up in front of them 'all and the meal was frequently inter rupted to read the latest reports fro'm doubtful States. Mr. Hughes was especially interest ed in returns from California, Minne sota.. Nebraska and Missouri. Early advices to the nominee from party leaders were that .the two last named States were in doubt with a steady Re publican trend as returns came slowly in. Missouri Is Still in the Doubtful Column Kansas City, Mo., Nov. B.—Presi dent 'Wilson's lead in Kansas increased slowly as more returns were received to-day but with half of the State in and many rural counties yet to be heard from it was considered impos sible to place the State definitely in the column o* either party. Figures compiled at 11 o'clock showed the President to have received 158,041 against 146,201 for Hughes. These returns were from 1,120 of the 2,474 precincts of the State. # 150,000 Plurality For Hughes Is Given by Illinois; Heavy Vote Chicago, 111., Nov. B.—With Illinois In the Republican column by a plural- I Jty of more than 150,000. election offi- i cials to-day resumed the task of tabu lating what was believed might prove the biggest veto "ever cast by any State. Women, voting the first time for President in Illinois, swelled the total vote to approximately 1,765,000, ac- j cording to estimates based on the pre cincts already counted. "I am ce- tair that Hughes and Fair banks have won, although the result appears to he close," said Mr. Hert. "I talked by telephone with Chester P. Rowell, Republican State chairman of Caiiforn'a, this morning and he said he had received returns from every county in the State and that Hughes has won in California by about 10,000. "In Indiana the leaders with whom I talked assured me that the Repub licans had the State by at least 10,000. In Minnesota the Republican leaders; are certain that Hughes has carried i the State by about 20,000. I also re ceived positive assurance to-day from Republicans who are in a position to know that N f orth Dakota is safe for Hughes. Counting the electoral votes j from these States, Hughes will have 272 or six more than the necessary 266. In addition to these States which we are certain, we have strong hopes of winning in Missouri and Ore gon where the vote is exceedingly close." £h^El-Rado s z%7 A "Womanly" Way To Remove Hair From thfe face, lip, neck or under arms.

Use Telegraph Want Ads „ov EM „ CT ™ HEADQUARTERS ARE SCENES OF NERVOUS TENSION Both Sides Claim Majorities in Electoral College; May Re quire Recount New York, Nov. B.—With the coun try's choice of a President in the al most unprecedented status of doubt on the day after election, both Democratic and Republican headquarters were scenes of nervous activity and tension. Although both sides claimed majorities in the electoral college, there seemed nevertheless to be a feeling at both Places that there was a chance that the determination of the final result with so many states doubtful might be prolonged perhaps for 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 tho re turns, which might be drawn out for days, with the result hanging on a recount. George W. Perkins, at Re publican headquarters, commenting upon the close vote in some states, declared that a recount might bo nec essary. Chairman McCormick early to-day sent telegrams to every state and county chairman where the result appears close commanding them to "personally see that the ballot boxes are guiarded and protected." McCormick Claims 288 At both headquarters the long dis tance telephones were busy with or ders to tho respective chairmen in the doubtful states to watch the count and the returns were being closely scru tinized. The chairmen of both committees were up all night, and while Vance C. McCormick, of the Democratic com mittee, retired for a short rest early (his morning. Chairman William R. Willcox, of the Republican committee, remained on duty and said that' he in tended to remain up until the result was knowji. Chairman McCormick shortly after 11 o'clock claimed President Wilson's election with 288 electoral votes. "1 arn basing my conclusion on the official canvass of pivotal states," he added. "It is a sweeping victory," Mr, McCormick claimed Kansas With 10 and Ohio with 2 4 electoral votes. Mr. McCormick claimed the "solid South" with 149, Arizona three, Cali fornia 13, Colorado six; Idaho 4. Mary land 8, Missouri 18, Minnesota 12, Montana 4, North Dakota 5, Nebraska 18, Nevada 3, New Hampshire 4, New (Mexico 3, Utah 4, Washington 7 and Wyoming 3. Total 288. ] "Delaware, South Dakota and In diana are not included in this list," j the chairman said. "The chances, how ever, are better than ever to get two of these States." SCHOOL LOAN AND JIT CHANGES WIN [Continued From First Page] 7109 were cast for the amendment and 6045 against it. Tlic Big Battle Next to the results of the presi dential fight, local interest centered on the outcome of the school loan and the jitney battles. All through the evening tho results swung back and forth although from the start the loan (apparently wils steadily gaining. It i was give and take with the jitney measure however, until toward the late hours of the night. The authorisation by the people of the million and a quarter loan means that Harrisburg can at last proceed to the relief of its congested high school conditions. The general plan as al ■ ready outlined provides for tho erec tion of a new high school for girls, the remodeling of tho Technical high school in order to accommodate all the boys, and tho erection of three junior high schools. The Campaign Tho decision at the polls yesterday was the result of a vigorous campaign that had been waged by a citizens' committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce and a special committee from the school board. ■The amendment to the jitney or dinance in brief provides that the jit ney owner must file a bond of SSO, and each month pay into the city treasury $5 per month until a fund of a thousand dollars is raised upon which suit for damages can be brought in case of accident. The license fees are fixed as follows: for the bus carrying not more than seven passengers $10; more than seven and not less than fifteen, S2O; more than fifteen persons, S3O. A fee of a dol lar a year is charged for the chauf- ! feur. The Amendment In Effect The jitney amendment becomes ef fective as soon as the official vote is ' compiled ahd filed on record. The amendment was suggested in Council during the recent trolley I strike when the jitneurs protested I against the original provisions of the 1 ordinance fixing a S2OOO bond for all 1 who obtained a license. Council however declined to act on | tho amendment and put the whole j problem up to tho people to decido by initiative voto. Further action by the city fathers will be unnecessary as I the decision of tho people yesterday automatically enacts tho amendment into a part of the jitney law. ski" A CASTORIA For Infants and Children n Use For Over 30 Years vays bears V? . * £l <* SAGODAWKUS'LL GET YOU IF YOU DON'T WATCH OUT ! > f | ( miE.m IS HWTOwfi GOOD 6SAaOOS,EDII ( J BHi) MR.EETUP— he's I MAVENT you (tOT it ) I n 60lNtr TO WAVE r ] ANV THINNER f f > J V\ PINNER WITH OS. | PR/ENDS?

California and Minnesota Turn the Tide, With Big Ma jorities New York, Nov. 8. —Chairman Will cox, of the Republican national com mittee, at 12.50 o'clock issued this statement: "California and Minnesota are surely for Hughes. This means Hughes is elected." The statement, he said, was based upon advices from the respective state ! headquarters, claiming California by 10,000 votes and Minnesota by 20,000. Chester-H. Powell telegraphed from San Francisco that the Republicans could concedo everything that the Democrats claim and still carry the state by 6,000. Chicago, 111., Nov. B.—After receiv ing the latest returns from party lead ers in a number of doubtful states in the Middle West and West to-day Alvin T. Hcrt, manager of the Repub lican headquarters, claimed that Hughes and Fairbanks had carried In diana, North Dakota, California and Minnesota and that the Republican national ticket had won with at least 272 electoral votes, or six more than the required number. San Francisco, Cq,l., Nov. B.—Ches- j ter IT. Rowell, chairman of the Re- ! publican state central committee of California, informed Chairman Will- I cox. of the Republican national com- | mlttee, in New York to-day that 1 Hughes will carry California by 6,000 i to 8,000. This was in answer to Will cox's declaration athat "California is now tho pivotal state." PAPER USERS FISEMNG PINCH Perhaps nobody has been hit harder by high prices this year than the men ' who use paper. The war in Europe, l which excuses and explains everything, j is offered only as a partial excuse by' the paper makers. They say that raw j materials are every year becoming scarcer, and manufacturing processes j more expensive. Paper, they declare, j was bound to ,be higher priced, any j way, and the added war cost of cer- I tain sulphides and coloring chemicals I is only one among a number of causes 1 of the paper famine. We cannot tell i about that. We only know that paper ' Is moving skyward week by week and j month by month. It may never come i down to the old figures again. Many publishers are feeling the pinch at j present and view the future gloomily, i An increase in the subscription prices j of your favorite journals is among i the possibilities.—Farm Life. CHICAGO STAPLES ADVANCE Chicago, Nov. B.—All staples traded In on the Chicago Board of Trade ad vanced nt the opening to-day. Gains were apparently not influenced by elec tion reiiults but were the results of early trade Influences. Wheat started unchanged to % cents higher; with December at 1.55 to and' May at 186 V 6 to 187. The upward tendency was ascribed mainly to a de crease In the ICuropuan visible supply. Miss Fairfax Answers Queries IT WOULD BE UNWISE Dear Miss Fairfax: I am writing to you for some ad vice and shall appreciate your kind- I nest. I am nineteen years old and I ain i employed as a typist by a large mall order firm. In October I mode the acquaintance ' of a gentleman fifty years of age, al- ■ though he looks much younger. He is a well educated gentleman, j has his own business, and is in all re.*pecta a perfect gentleman. He lias asked to caU at my home : and meet my parents, and has also Invited me to go out with him, provid ing my parents consent. What I wißh to know is, do you think this gentleman is too old for me to go out with? E. C. J. Can you possibly Imagine yourself j Jmppy as the wife of a man who is ! in all probability older than your father? Surely your tastes and Inclin ations are altogether different since you are practically two generations apart. It would bo unfair to both of you for you to permit this friendship to go far for it might only result In pain and unliappiness for both of you. HUGHES IS AHEAD WITH 242 VOTES [Continued From First Page] piled up in the east by the returns coming In from the west. Wher the j Republican landslide in New York became known and was quickly fol lowed by the heavy Republican vic tories in New England, there was a veritable stampede to announce the election of Mr. Hughes and the defeat of President Wilson. Hundreds of thousands waiting in tho streets saw the signal lights flash the defeat of the President, New York newspapers which have been prominent in their support of him conceded the I'resident's defeat even before some of the western States had been heard from. Thousands of per sons in the east went to bed believ ing Mr. Hughes elected and woke up this morning to find the result ap parently changed while they slept. Hundreds who made their plans for what they expected to happen in Wall street to-day found them set all awry. • West Stops Hughes Slide The first figures of Wilson major ities through the west did not shake the of those who were pre j dieting the election of- Mr. Hughes and j not until the steady stream of Wil | son majorities bpgan eating the ! Hughes columns piled up in tho east I did any of them suspect that the re sult was 1 in danger. j At midnight it was apparent that [the free predictions of a sweeping | Republican victory throughout the I country were being contradicted by I the results from the west. As every | hour saw the Hughes lead melting | down it became clear that the Presi : dent was not to be defeated so easily (and then at daylight without any de cisive result. It became apparent that the battle was being fought out in the doubtful States with the ad vantage decidedly in favor of Mr. Wilson. The Associated Press was not mis led by the returns in New York and other eastern States. Although the Important newspapers of this city were unanimous in their announce ments that Hughes had been elected it was recognized by the Associated I Press election staff that Wilson could win without New York. It declined to make ahy prediction until actual returns were received from the doubt ful States. Roth Sides Claim Flection Not since a next day's revision of the returns seated Orover • Cleveland in the contest of 1892 has the coun try been compelled to wait so long to know the result. More than 12 hours after the polls had closed. President Wilson and Mr. Hughes were running a neck and neck race in doubtful States. Congress returns were equallv un certain but on their face at 8 "a. m. to-day the Republicans had not been able to overthrow the Democratic ma jority although they did succeed in reducing it in the House. In the Sen ate tho Republicans appeared to have gained seven seats. Despite the lack of certain returns from the States which will turn the scale of victory or defeat neither of the national chairmen hesitated to claim the election. Democratic Chairman MeCormick ' in a statement declared President I Wilson surely would have 301 votes in the electoral college. Republican Chairman Willcox at 6 a. m., claimed every State generally classed as doubt ful and counted 323 votes for Mr Hughes. The actual returns, consid ering definite and indicative figures gave President Wilson 232 votes and Mr. Hughes 212. On the votes of California, Dela- i ware, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Minne-i sota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, 1 Oregon, Washington, West Virginia i and Wyoming the decisive result of the presidential contest turned. Sooth For Wilson j There seemed to be no doubt that ! President Wilson had safely carried | Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Color jado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, ; I>ouisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, j Missouri. Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, I North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, I Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia. In the Hughes column, were count ed Connecticut, Illinois, lowa, Maine, j Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, [ New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode j Island, South Dakota, Vermont and I Wisconsin. From the doubtful States the re turns continued to point first toward one candidate and then toward the other, but toward morning there was a notice of a steady drift toward President Wilson. When word went over the country that President Wilson had been de feated the Republican hosts were jubilant. Although New England re turns supported the predictions of a Republican victory, as the ballot counting started in the Middle West and on the coast, it dawned on these assembling the vote here that Presi dent Wilson was far from defeated, that, the Hughes landslide was en tirely confined to the east and that in the States which will make up the majority in the electoral college a very close race was being run. Other presidents have been elected without New York and some of the so-called pivotal States. Hayes lost Now York and Indiana and five oth ers to Tilden but was seated in his close contest. While Cleveland car-- ried New York in each of his suc cessful campaigns, he lost in one or the other of them, Indiana, Massa chusetts, Ohio, Michigan and Penn sylvania. So, as soon as the Wilson major ities began piling up toward the wefst it became apparent that political his tory was repeating itself. Never at any time did Democratic headquarters recede from its claims of President Wilson's election. Chairman Mc- Cormick at one time got his estimate of tho president's majority In tho elec toral college down as low as two, but with the encouraging returns from the west he promptly raised it again. It is tho first time in 26 years that the country has had to wait over night to learn whom it had chosen for its president. Delaware Is Carried by Hughes With 800 Majority Vi ilmlngton, Del., Nov. B.—Returns at U o'clock showed that Hughes carried Delaware by about 800. Senator DuPont was defeated J>y Joslah C. Wolcott, (T>.) by 900 to 1000. The voting for Congress is close be tween Representative Miller and Albert F. Polk, D.. with probabilities In .favor! of the former. The Republicans elected their State ticket, with the possible exception of the candidates for attorney general. .1. IIAIIIIY STHO UP 11,1, J.

Continuous work, mental or physical, without proper vacation periods, without proper attention to i diet and exercise, also worry over the ■ struggle for success, are the most com mon causes. Excesses of almost any 1 kind may produce it. Some diseases, like the grip, will cause neurasthenia. Bo also will a severe shock, intense anxiety or grief. The symptoms are oversensitiveness, irritability, a disposition to worry over j trifles, headache, possibly nausea. The treatment is one of nutrition of the nerve cells, requiring a non-alco holic tonic. As the nerves get their nourishment from the blood the treat ment must be directed towards build ing up tlw blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly on the blood and havo proved of the greatest benefit in many cases of neurasthenia. A tendency to anemia, or bloodlessness, shown by most neurasthenic patients, is also cor rected by these tonic pills. Two useful books Diseases of the Nervous System" and "What to Eat and How to Eat" will be sent free by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schen ectady. N. Y.

HOWI TOOKMY WRINKLES OUT After Facial Massage, Cream* nn4 llenuty Doctors Had Fulled By Winifred Grace Forrest I Trouble, worry and ill health brought me deep lines and wrinkles. I realized that they not only greatly morrcU my appearance and uiado me look mucb older, but that they would greatly in terfere with tnv success because a wo man's success, either socially or llnan daily, depends very largely on her ap pearance. The homely woman, with (Jetp lines and furrows in her face, must tight an unequal battle with lier younger and better looking sister. I therefore, bought various brands of cold creams and skin foods and mas saged my face with most constunt regularity, hoping to regain my former appearance. liut the wrinkles simply would not go. On the contrary they seemed to get deeper. Next 1 went to a Heauty Specialist who told me she could easily rid me of my wrinkles, I paid my money and took the treatment. .Sometimes I thought they got less, but after spending all the money 1 could afford for such treatment 1 found I still had my wrinkles. Ho I gave up in de spair and concluded I must carry them to'my gruve. One day a friend who bad traveled extensively in France told mo of an old French Heauty Secret which I tried with most astonishing results. At last I felt that 1 was on the right track. I kept on with the treatment following the simple instructions and in a few nights my wrinkles were entirely gone. Naturally I was over-joyed with my experiment and I want everyone to know how to obtain the same happy re sults. I have already given it to many of my immediate friends and 10, they have obtained the same remarkablo transformation. The process consists of laying a warm cloth on the face each night for about half a minute and then when the cloth Is removed a little or dinary unionized coca cream is applied over the entire face and neck. This la left on for about two minutes nnd then what has not been absorbed by the skin is wiped off with a soft dry cloth. Not more than Ave minutes is required for this simple operation. Vet one treat ment will show you most astonishing results. No word short of "Marvelous can explain how young .d fresh this will make a Woman look.
