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.' "?

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

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."
