ELECTION OF WILSON
NOT CONCEDED!
[Continued From First Paso]
mittee and the two had a preliminary
conference.
Chairman Willcox. refusing to con
cede the election of President Wilson,
said to-day in a formal statement is
sued after a conference with other Re
publican campaign managers that the
result still depends upon the vote of a
few close States and that the returns
thus far announced are in most States
unofficial and may be changed by the
official count.
New Hampshire Vote Is
Still Regarded in Doubt,
Although Wilson Is Ahead
Concord, N. H., Nov. 10.-—Certified
returns from 283 precincts out of 294
in New Hampshire give Hughes, 42,-
045; Wilson, 42,284. Wilson's lead
239.
These figures according to Secretary
of State Bean include the return of
the clerk of Ward 2, Keene, who cer
tified that Wilson electors received no
votes there, although press figures
credited them with 125. Efforts are
being made to correct this return,
which the Secretary of State believed
to be on error. Its effect would be to
increase the Wilson plurality.
Press returns from eleven precincts
not accounted for in the certified fig
ures gave Hughes, 1,670; Wilson,
1,860. As a result the vote of the
State Is still regarded in doubt.

FRIDAY EVENING,
Hughes to-day is leading: President
Wilson by a plurality of slightly more
than 700 votes in a race which has
whip-sawed through two days and
three nights of unofficial counting, and
according to leaders of both Demo
cratic and Republican parties can
only be decided by the official count.
The vote of the Minnesota guards
men on the Mexican border, which
is being forwarded to the county audi
tors, of the home counties, votes can
not be counted until November IB un
der the law giving the absent guards
men the privilege of voting, is ex
pected to be received some time before
Monday.
The vote of the guardsmen which
was taken Tuesday by commissioners
sent to the border for the purpose,
amounted to 2,13 8 and is regarded by
party leaders as an important factor
in deciding the election of the State.
In the opinion of party leaders to-
vote of some of the precincts
Owfreported at this time may not be
added to the unofficial count but will
be sealed and sent to the county seats,
there to await the official count.
RECOUNT IN NEW JERSEY
New Brunswick, N. J„ Nov. 10.—
Because the vote for member of the
House of Representatives has been
close in the Third Congressional dis
trict, it is expected there will be u
recount. On the face of the returns
Robert Carson, Republican, has beaten
the present congressman, Thomas J.
Scully, by 86 votes—Carson 22,213,
Scully 22,127.
WILSON CONGRATULATED
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 10. A
quotation from Romeo and Juliet was
incorporated in Vice-President Mar
shall's telegram of congratulation to
President Wilson. The telegram fol
lows:
'"Tls not so deep as a well nor so
wide as a church door; but 'tis enough
and 'twill serve."
"Mrs. Marshall Joins m.e in heart
iest congratulation to Mrs."Wilson and
yourself."
DELEGATION FROM
GAL. MAY BE SPLIT
[Continued From First Pago]
which had been close but they made no change in the figures which
gave President Wilson 269 electoral votes and Mr. Hughes 243.
Minnesota, New Mexico and New Hampshire remained in
doubt. Minnesota's latest returns showed Hughes leading by 752,
but the figures for New Hampshire put Wilson ahead by 239 with
eleven precincts missing while he also leads in New Mexico.
At Democratic National headquarters the view is taken that
the election is all over. Chairman McCormick is preparing to go to
his home in Harrisburg, Pa., to-night to resume his private business
he said to-day. Workmen were removing the furniture and the com
mittee's local business it was stated, would be conducted at a branch
office. The main headquarters will be in Washington.
The only states where the result remained in question to-day
were Minnesota, New Hampshire and New Mexico, with nineteen
electoral votes. Unless thei*e is a decided overturn in the districts
missing, Wilson will carry New Mexico. Hughes is leading in Min
nesota. The result will not be known in New Hampshire until the
official count is completed. West Virginia, which was classed as
doubtful until late last night, has gone definitely for Hughes.
Unless the vote of California is divided, which now seems a
possibility, Mr. Wilson is assured of 269 votes in the electoral col
lege, three more than a majority, and Mr. Hughes of 243. The
President could lose three votes from California and still have
enough tp elect. This loss would be offset by New Mexico which it
seems certain he has carried.
Wilson Way Ahead in New Mexico
If Mr. Hughes carried both Minnesota with 12 votes and New
Hampshire with 4, he would have only 249, seven less than enough
to elect. Mr. Wilson could lose New Mexico and three votes from
California and still win.
The result in Minnesota may be determined by the ballots of
the 2,138 national guardsmen now on the Mexican border which
will not be counted until the state canvassing board meets next
Tuesday. Returns received early to-day in the state gave Hughes
a lead of slightly over 700 votes.
\\ ith 99 districts missing out of 638 in New Mexico, Wilson was
1,410 ahead. The remote precincts not yet heard from are sparcely
settled and it was not believed the President's lead could be
wiped out.
The outcome in New Hampshire was in greater doubt than in
any other state. Certified returns from all but 25 precincts gave
Hughes a lead of 131 but unofficial figures from the districts lacking
were said to show a Wilson plurality of 117,
California complete, except for 36 of the 5870 precincts in the
state gave Wilson 465,669 and Hughes 462,538, a plurality of 3,131
for the President.
California Pivot
The tension of the most dramatic
situation in the political history of the
United States was broken when the
Associated Press flashed the news that
Republican State Chairman Rowell, of
California, had conceded the State to
WJlson. Frantic appeals to expedite
returns had been sent to State leaders
hour after hour from the national
headquarters of both parties in this
city. Telegrams were re-enforced by
telephone calls across the continent.
It had been apparent since Wednes
day that California was the pivot upon
which the election would swing.
It was not until stage coaches had
come through from communities tuck
ed away in the Sierras or settlements
on the arid eastern slopes of the
mountains that the result was known.
Ordinarily the few votes cast in these
remote districts are considered of lit
tle moment, but In this history-mak
ing presidential year they were of vital
importance. They could not be reach
ed by telephone or telegraph and the
trails and passes loading to them were
choked with snow in many places.
There was nothing to do but wait for
the stages and they began coming In
last night.
Similar difficulties ware encountered
in collecting the returns from the
wilds of New Mexico and from the
far corners of Minnesota. In past
campaigns New Mexico's three elec
toral votes have been considered
merely as Incidental in swelling the
majority of the winner, but yesterday
they might have elected a president.
Minnesota was almost as important as
California in determining whether
Hughes or Wilson had won and the
returns from that State caused nearly
as much jubilation among the Repub
licans as those from California in the
rival camp.
Demand Official Recount
That President Wilson's election
will not be conceded without a recount
in the close States was the declaration
of Republicans early to-day after con
ferences lasting far into last night.
Some definite course of action proba
bly will be decided upon within a few
hours. The States in which it was said
recourse to judicial proceedings was
likely were California, New Hamp
shire, New Mexico and North Da
kota.
If recount proceedings ai'e Instituted
it was believed George W. Wicker
sham, attorney general of the United
States under President Taft, would
marshal the legal forces of the Repub
licans. He conferred late yesterday
with Mr. Hughes and Chairman Wil
liam R. Wlllcox of the National com
mittee at the nominee's hotel here.
No formal statement was forthcoming
as to what was contemplated, but
Mr. Wlllcox asserted a recount would
be demanded wherever the margin of
Democratic victory was so small that
a comparatively few votes would turn
the scales. He and his advisers took
the position, they said, that there
should be no "cloud" upon Mr. Wil
son's title to the presidency.
Until President Wilson's victory was
assured the Democrats also were pre
paring to demand a recount in the
so-called "doubtful" States. Alton B.
Parker, who resigned as chief judge of
the Now York State Court of Appeals
to become the Democratic candidate
for President in 1904, conferred with
National Chairman Vance C. McCor
mick, as did several other prominent
Democratic lawyers.
Tampering Charged in North Dakota
Both parties already have called for
a recount in New Hampshire where
less than 200 votes seem likely to de
termine the result. Charges of at
tempts to tamper with the ballot boxes
In North Dakota liavo been made in
several sections of that State and have
been laid before the federal district at
torney by t.ho United States marshal.
Agents of the Department of Justice
have been mobilised at points in other
States.
The Republicans contended, it was
said unofficially to-day. that since the
Democrats claimed California by a
margin of only approximately 3,000
out of nearly 1,000,000 votes cast, it
was apparent slight errors in a dis
trict here and there might change
the outcome.
The Democrats maintained on the
other hand that no charges of fraud
had been made by State Chairman
Rowell of the Republicans In conced
ing the State to Mrfl Wilson and If
there had been any basis for them,
he undoubtedly would so have Inform
ed the national headquarters of the
party ,n Oils city. In a statement
made to the Associated Press at Sun
Francisco, the only contention Mr.
Rowell made of even a partial vic
tory for Mr. Hughes was that the elec
toral vote of that State might be split
on the official count as it was in 1912
when two votes went to Wilson and
eleven to Roosevelt.
Both sides concede that no matter
what action might be taken In regard
to a recount there was little likeli
hood of a contest being carried to the
House of Representatives as it was
HABRISBUJIG TELEGRAPH
after the Hayes-Tilden campaign in
1876. Legislation enacted in 188 7, it
was said made the State sovereign in
pronouncing judgment in a recount
of the presidential vote.
Contest Over Electors
In three States, however, there
were prospects of contests over one
elector in each instance. The eligi
bility of a Democratic elector In
Texas has been questioned because he
is said to be an office holder and the
federal laws prohibit a person hold
ing office from serving as an elector.
One of the Democratic electors in
Washington died just before election
day and the party managers attached
pasters to the ballots, substituting an
other name for his. The legality of
this procedure has been questioned
by the Republicans. A somewhat simi
lar case has arisen in West Virginia
where one of the Republican electors
refused to run and the Republicans
resorted to pasters bearing another
name in place of his.
Up to the time Republican head
quarters hero were closed soon after
midnight, the party leaders gathered
there refused to concede defeat. They
seemed to base their confidence upon
the asumption that "something might
happen" in California. Mr. Hughes
was told before he retired for the
night that California had gone against
him but he had no comment to make.
Democratic headquarters were elec
trified by the announcement of the
result In California transmitted to
Chairman McCormick r>y the Asso
cited Press. The chairman was es
pecially gratified because he had been
vindicated in his pre-election predic
tion that Wilson could be elected even
if he lost New York, New Jersey, In
diana and Illinois.
Await Suffrage Analysis
Mr. Wilson is the only President
ever elected with the "solid East"
against him. His victory was believed
by politicians to presage an align
ment for the first time in Congress of
the West with the South. It was
pointed out that while he would not
have "a working majority" in the
lower house he would not have to
combat a majority inimical to his
policies.
"There was much speculation to
day amotf suffragists as to the part
played by women in the election.
Analysis of their vote was eagerly
awaited. While President. Wilson lost
in Illinois and Oregon he carried
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyom
ing, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Kansas,
Nevada and California, the other ten
States in which women voted.

so the provisions of the ordinance as
passed originally by Council will be
rigidly enforced.
No definite line of procedure, how
over, will be mapped out until the
Mayor is certain as to the relation
between the-jitneys and the Public
Service Commission.
New JitnC.v Rules /
In the Mayor's opinion the jitneys
should be considered as "public car
riers" the same as the trolley cars
and that the provisions of the city or
dinances insofar as they apply to the
regulation of this type of utility should
be followed out as carefully with one
as the other.
Here are some of the important reg
ulations which the Mayor declared will
be insisted upon:
Fares to l>e the uniform charge
of live cents to all points within
the elty limits.
•Jitneys must ran the same
hours as thp trolley cars.
Drivers or chauffeurs must be
of exemplary diameter and dart?
not be drinking men. Incidentally
every man who is granted a li
cense must be enough of a me
chanician to enable him to repair
his car or move it out of the
street should a breakdown threat
en a trallie congestion.
Traffic Problems
Traffic regulations must be
strictly adhered to.
Parking of jitneys will not be
permitted in the downtown streets,
especially Market street and Mar
ket Square, and the cars will be
allowed to stop only so long as
will be required to disclutrge or
take on passengers.

caps Is a problem yet to jjc de<ld
ed, but if this regulation ean be
enforced Mayor Meals declared lie
will insist upon it.. "We ought to
able to distinguish 'em in a
crowd,'' said he.
A License Bureau
"Until I learn just how this new
jitney law is affected by the Public
Service Commission. 1 can't say just
what we'll do." declared the Mayor.
"One thing is certain; the question of
licensing of these drivers will be up
to the police department and you can
rest assured that the fitness of the ap
plicant will be passed upon. Not
everybody that applies will necessar
ily get a license; we're not going to
look after the out-of-town fellows. If
a man comes here from a nearby town
to run a machine, he's got to live here.
If he's a drinking man he'd better
not apply. Speeding of the jitneys
isn't going to be permitted. Just how
to conveniently pass upon these ap
plicants is a question, although I've
an idea in mind to establish a sort of a
bureau here, to consist, say, of Chief
of Police Wetzel, some other man well
trained in automobile operation, and
myself. This is all ejnbryonlc, how
ever. These problems I'll have to
take up with City Solicitor Seitz, and
if he isn't well enough we'll liavo to
see his assistant. Mr. Taylor.
More Congestion
"To my mind the jitneys will be
public carriers and they should be
treated as such and should act accord
ingly.
"Will the appearance of a large
number of jitneys rather increase
your traffic problems?" the Mayor
was asked.
"Very materially so," he replied.
"That's another matter we'll have to
regulate. Of late we've been handling
the crowds on the Square very prop
erly, but it is an ever-growing Job.
One-way Streets
"Recommendations are now pending
in Council," went on the Mayor, "rel
ative to making Third and Fourth
streets and Second, Fourth, Front and
even Market street and Market Square
as 'one-way' routes for traffic. I mean
to look into that problem as soon as
City Solicitor Seitz is able to be about.
Undoubtedly an ordinance on the one
way problem should be prepared and
I think Council would do well to
thresh out this whole matter at a spe
cial meeting."
