New Mexi co, but Vance McCormick, the national chairman made it this morning and lie in now more optimistic and confident than ever. The state chairman told him over the phone that New Mexico was safely for Wilson. The smile of confidence that radiat ed from McCormick’s face as he entered headquarters, after a few hours sleep, broadened when he was handed a tele gram from United States Senator Henry F. Hollis, of New Hampshire. It read; “My figures correct. Complete re turns at state house give Wilson 93 plu rality. will increase it.” ‘The chairman also talked with State Chairman McLean, at Fargo, N. D., at an early hour this morning and learned, that Wilson is leading in that state by over 1.200 votes with only 300 precincts to be counted. Mr. McCormick received this morning confirmation of telephonic advices re ceived last night from the Chicago Her ald corroborated by Senator Walsh* at Chicago, that the Los Angeles Times and San Francisco Chronicle, both Republi can. concede California to Wilson. The votes of California will give the [ president a majority in the electoral col lege, without regard to either West. Virginia, Minnesota. North Dakota or New Mexico. Mr. McCormick’s advices from Minne sota say that Wilson has the advantage, with the possibility that the soldier vote on the Mexican border may In fluence the result. It is not known how these men divide. California, New Mexico and Minneso ta. especially the first two, are several hours behind New York in time and this will cause an apparent delay in further announcement of actual figures. The Chicago Tribune concedes New Mexico to Wilson. Foreigners Flee From Chihuahua Before Attack EL TABO, Tex..

NEW YORK, Nov. 9. —Henry Morgen thau, in charge of Democratic head quarters this morning in absence of Chairman McCormick, said that a re count woujd be demanded for New Hampshire. This, he said, would be done in spite of the figures receive* showing Wilson had a lead of\jl7 votes. He added that the Democratic figures show that the Wilson lead was *SOO votes, and in view of the complex situa tion in that state, a recount in any event would be necessary. Instructions to the Democratic committee in New Hampshire to demand the recount had already gone forward, he said. Asserts New Hampshire Was Carried by Hughes (By Auociated Press.' CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 9.—Philip H. Faulkner, chairman of the Republican state committee, issued the following statement today: ’ “The claim that New Hampshire has gone for Wilson is unsubstantiated by any returns in our possession. “Fully 40 ptr cent of the town clerks throughout the state have ren dered no official returns of ttie vote, but such unofficial figures as we have veri fied in every quarter of the state indi cate that Mr. Hughes has carried New Hampshire by something less than 100 plurality. “We have»well fortified information of irregularities in the counting of votes in many quarters and we have today instituted proceedings for an in spection of all the votes cast in the state on Tuesday, as our law provides. “George A. Fatrliank, of Newport, one of tne Hughes presidential electors, is the petitioner in this action and wg ex pect to have the New Hampshire ballots in the hands of the secretary of state before the close of another day. "We do not concede New Hampshire to the Democrats and are prepared to substantiate our claim of Republican victory before any competent‘tribunal.’’ Returns Were Reversed, Secretary Bean Reports CBr Associated Press.)

Mr. Bean said returns from 120 of the 274 towns and wards still to be verified might further change the result. The official figures from 77 of these i missing districts have been received, but not tabulated. in an- - nounclng the difference of 93 in favor of Wilson gave no total figures. The totals upon which his preliminary statement was based, had been reached, he oxplaned, by adding to the verified returns newspaper figures from the dis tricts not heard from offlcally. “We found several errors,” said Sec retary Bean. "One clerk ijn Ward 8, Concord, reported the vote of that place as 'Hughes 225; Wilson 88.’ Our knowl edge of local conditions made us doubt this result. Investigation showed it should have been Wilson 225, Hughes 88. We are scanning the returns very closely, realzing that the slightest er ror may’ change the result, not only in the state but in the nation.” i The returns are being delivered to the" secretary of state by special delivery pjail on the official blanks. The Demo cratic state committee, when Hughes was reported leading last night, was ■aid to have decided to petition for a recount of the vote.

Mooser, member Dem ocratic state committee, issued the folowing statement in be half of O. K. Cushing, chairman of the state committee: “We have California. We are absolutely positive. Mr. Cushing is checking up my figures, made throughout the night, and so far has found them correct These figures show we have the state. Conceding that Los Angeles county gives Hughes a 22,- 000 lead, we still carry California for Wilson by at least 500 votes.” , t - NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—With five states still in doubt the na tional committee chairmen of the Republican and Democratic par ties were unwilling to concede here this afternoon that the opposing presidential candidate had received a sufficient number of electoral votes to win. Meanwhile it was indicated at both headquarters that in states where the vote was close a recount would be demanded. Both sides again announced they were taking precautions to guard bal lot boxes. Vance C. McCormick, Democratic chairman, reiterated em phatically his claim of yesterday that President Wilson would be re-elected with 288 electoral voes, 22 more than enough to bring him the victory. Mr. McCormick claimed North Dakota ( Califor nia, New Mexico and New Hampshire and insisted the Democrats had a chance to win Minnesota. Republican Chairman Wilcox said he stood by his statement of last night that Hughes would get at least 280 electoral/votes. Charles B. Warren, Republican national committeeman from Michigan, after a conference with other Republican leaders, at head quarters, declared that Oregon and West Virginia were safely for Hughes and that the outcome depended on Minnesota, California, North Dakota, New Mexico and New Hampshire. Minnesota would probably go for Hughes, he said, but in the last four of those states the official count would be necessary definitely to determine the result. Republican Chairman Willcox at noon made this statement in regard to the matter of supervising the counting of votes \in close states: “So far as the claims of the Wilson follower* go,” Mr. Will cox said, “they began to cry fraud before the election. The his tory of that party is such that it ill-becomes them to raise the cry of fraud at this time. All right thinking people concerned in the election want an honest count. The Republican national committee will insist that the votes cast for its candidate be counted for him, but we want no votes not properly cast. “We will take every step to see that the votes cast are prop erly counted. “We have not called upon officials of the government to su pervise the counting of votes in any state. The voting machinery of each state is under the administration of state authorities and our representatives in each state will take all needful steps to- see that the election laws have* been obeyed and all votes properly counted. “We are entirely willing to have every dollar of our expendi tures investigated in the most thorough manner. I leave it to our Democratic opponents to say whether they wiM do the same.” ELECTION FLASHES MINNESOTA By Associated Press.; ST. PAUL, Nov. 9.—Charles E.
