Although Reporis of Last Night and Newspapers This Morning Gave Hughes a Victory, at Noon Today Things Look Wilsonish Should Hughes Win the Democrats Show a Wonderful Gain The battle of ballots is over but from al! indi the result is as yet in doubt. All the returns recered up until one o'clock this morning seemed to make che election | of Hughes a certainty. These reports were substantiated by the morning papers claiming victory for the Republi- can party and even some of tle strongest Democratic Journals gave victory to the Republicans. At six o'clock this morning when more authentic re- ports were flashed over the wires the tide began to turn Wilson victory. A dispatch from the Lancaster New Era at 10.10 to- day to this office gave Hughes 212 electoral votes and Wilson 232. At this time eight of the doubtful states were yet to be heard from and their vote could swing the victory to either man. 10.45—Reports from Cali- fornia, which gave Hughes great majorities last night, now favor Wilson. 10.48—The vote from Min- nesota also favors Wilson. 10.50—An Associated Press Dispatch says that it looks like a Wilson victory although both sides are claiming a victory.

The Mount Joy Borough School Board held its regular monthly ses- sion on Monday evening with a full attendance. The Board decided and ordered the installation of two shower baths in the locker room adjoining the gymnasium. A proposition was svat before the board, offering to rent the gymna- sium for the season by playing at least twenty games of basket ball and to pay the School Board 35 per cent. of the receipts as rental for the gym. The Board was a unit in its decision not to accept the proposition and agreed that the fixed rental of 40 and 60 per cent., which was decided at a recent meeting, shall stand and that any one can rent the gymnasium on nights that will not conflict with the dates of the High School bas- ket ball team. The board did not “fall” for monopolizing the gym, being of the opinion that it should be “free for all.” The majority of the two dozen desks recently purchased, were placed in position Monday evening by Mr. Flowers. The Board decided to attend the County Directors Institute which convenes at Millersville on Thursday, Nov. 23 and after the payment of a large number of bills, adjournment. mr ett I ee LOCAL HAPPENINGS.
