California Republican Papers
Now Concede That State
Also to Wilson
BY lALFH SMITH ,
AEW YORK, Nov. 9.—lt is a far cry
fromrXeH York IO Saute Fe. 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.. Nov. 9.—A1l foreign
residents of Chihuahua City are expect
ed to arrive at the border tonight on a
train which Is reported to hav« left
Chihuahua City early today. The fear
of an attack on the Chihuahua state cap
ital by Villa bandits and a massacre of
the foreign residents Is said to be re
sponsible for the reported exodus.
ITLINTI SPOT COTTON
ALOES RECORO FIGURE
Again Touches 19.70 After s
Advance of 25 Points
Over Friday’s Close
Another notable advance in the At
lanta spot cotton market was made j
Thursday when the price reached 19.71),
which equals the record for the season.!
This record was made on October 25,
after which the market entered upon a!
series ot heavy slumps.
The advance Thursday was 25 points i
over Friday’s close, when spot 3 were
quoted here at 19.45.
New York spots were quoted at 19.60,
or 20 points up, while New Orleans spots
were 18.88, or 13 points up.
A remarkable feature of the present
market is that spot markets continue
to lead the future markets in the up
ward trend. Futures in New York and
New Orleans Thursday were from 20 to
30 points under the spot quotations.
Local spot dealers are predicting a|
still higher market and are of the opin-'
ion that a price of 20 will be
reached by the end of the week.

NEW HAMPSHIRE RECOUNT
OEHDTD BI DTMDCMTS
Henry Morgenthau Says Wil
son’s Plurality Should Be
500 Votes
.By Associated Press.)
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.’’

Discovery of errors in official reports
was a factor in reversing the leads
which Hughes had last night, he said.
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.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.—Louis H. 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.”
