WILSON BOLUS BIS LEAD. NO QUESTION NOW OF PRESIDENT'S REELECTION. California Gave Its Thirteen Votes to Wilson, Cinching the President's Victory Over the G. O. P. New York, Nov. 9.?President Wilson has carried California and has been reelected. Fifty hours after the polls closed in California. Republican Chairman Rowell conceded the State to the president. Thus the 13 votes needed to assure the president a majority in the electoral college dropped into the Democratic column and apparentk ly ended the suspense and anxiety of an election which has been unparal^B^^leled in American political history, ^^^n^lepublican Chairman Wilcox when B^HflB-med that the president had car ^ B California only replied: have nothing to say." ^HBj^^cretary Tumulty, at the summer ^B^^^Ke house, at Shadow Lawn, sent news by wireless to President ^^^Rson on board the yacht Mav^?wer en route to Rhine Cliff, X. Y. The California returns showed that with only 36 districts missing the president's plurality in the State was 3,131. Wilson Has 269 Votes. Barring some wholly unexpected turnover in the incomplete States leaning toward Wilson, or a change on a recount, California's acquisition to the Democratic column gave the president 269 electoral votes without New Mexico's three. In New Mexico at midnight the president was leading by 1,961 votes with 111 districts missing and it was not believed this advantage could be overcome by Mr. Hughes. Conceding West Virginia, New Hampshire and Minnesota to Mr. L Hughes?and he was in the lead in B all three?only gives him 259 votes, H seven less than the required majoriK ty. With 272 votes in sight President Wilson had 6 to spare for a pos^ sible split of electors in California, \or a sudden reversal in New Mexico. To Demand Recount. At republican national committee headquarters it was admitted after conferences between George W. Wickersham, former attorney general of the United States, Everett Colby, of New Jersey, Mr. Hughes, Chairman Willcox and George W. Perkins, of New York, preparations were being made to begin legal proceedings for recounts in States where the results were close. Chairman Willcox included California, New Mexico, North Dakota, New Hampshire and Minnesota in his list of States where recounts undoubtedly would be demanded. Democratic headquarters was not behind the Republicans in preparing for legal developments. Chairman . McCormick conferred with Alton B. Parker, formed Democratic candidate for president; Morgan J. O'Brien, Delancy Nicoll and John B. Stanchfield, all prominent New York lawyers. It was evident that if the election was to be taken into the courts the legal giants of both parties were being marshaled for such a battle royal as the United States never has seen. Big Popular Majority. In an official statement the Democratic national committee claimed 272 votes for Presu .. . Wilson and a popular plurality of from 200,000 to 300,000. "To say there will be any contest," declared the statement, "is an insult to the intelligence of the American people." I It will probably still be another) day before the full reports are known from any of the four States left in the doubtful column and certainly not until there has been an officiai count in New Hampshire and possibly in Minnesota. As Mr. Hughes' is leading in Minnesota and West Virginia and a change in these Statps could in no wise affect the result there may be no demand for extraordinary haste to bring about the recount demanded. Virtually all the States where the result is close are carried in the Hughes column and for that reason the Democrats profess to be not apprehensive that any overturning could come from a recount. Immune From Cold. Gouverneur Morris, the New York, Iiterateur. said at a luncheon in 'Brooklyn: "American society is the most exclusive in the world. It is qjuite useless for a literateur to try to force his way into it. "I kfiow a literateur who. on the strength of a best seller, managed to get himself invited to a dinner at Mrs. Van Astorcordt's. " 'Well, did Mrs. Van Astorcordt's cordiality stagger you?' I asked him the next day. " 'Oh, no, not at all,' he answered. 'You see, before I took up writing I worked in an ice-making plant.' "? Philadelphia Ledger. DEUTSCHLAND DIVEl) SELDOM. Capt. Koenig Speaks in Disparaging Terms of Blockade. New London. Xov. 1.?Ten million dollars' worth of dyestuffs and drugs and, it was said, "possibly stocks, bohds and precious stones." comprise the cargo of the German submarine merchantman Deutschland, according to a statement tonight by Capt. Paul Koenig, commander of the craft. The Deutschland is in this port after having succeeded in making a j second voyage from a German port of the American coast, despite uiei watchfulness of British and French war vessels. First of the undersea merchant| men. by use of which Germany hopes to keep open a trade route with the United States, the Deutschland, according to her captain, is at present the only vessel of that fleet. The Bremen, which started a voyage from the city after which she was named on August 26, he said, has been given up as lost. He thought she "must have struck a mine," but he added: "She has not fallen a victim to this almost blockade: I am sure of that." Not Conscience. "Do you realize, John Hays, that you are guilty of contempt of court, sir, and that you may be sent to the chaingang for six months for refusing to go home quietly? I will permit you to join your family if your court conduct shows you worthy of parole. Once again?will you go diu AmA 9 * * The; in | itJCLiv iiuiiio :i um a^i t x was plainly indignant. But Hays merely shivered and stubbornly shook his head. "Xo, sir." "Am I to understand you prefer jail to home?" his honor demanded. "Have you no conscience?" "It ain't my conscience, judge," Hays replied sadly, "it's my motherin-law. She dared me to come back." ?Kansas City Star. | YOU | are the only one to be held responsible for a shabby appearance.
