How far the suffrage policy of either candidate had entered into the result was obscured. the states the voting by long ballots and the submission of local questions and matters of initiative and refer- endum. In many ol was much delayed | frage and prohibition amendments { were obscured and probably will not be known fully until late today. In the meantime the race of the presidential ballots is running on, and it is the first time in 26 years that the country has had to wait over night to learn whom it had | chosen for its president. The Associated Press was not mis- led by the returns in New York and other castern states. Although the important newspapers of the cily were unanimous in their announce- ments that Hughes had been elected, recognized by the Associated s election staff that Wilson could win without New York. It declined | to make an: diction until actual | returns were received from the | Goubtful states. Uncertainty at Headquarters. With the country’s choice of a | president in the almost unprecedented status of doubt on the day after elec- tion both democratic and republican headquarters were scenes of mervous v and tension. Although both sides claimed majorities in the elec- toral college, there seemed neverthe- less to be a feeling at both places ! there was a chance that the deter- mination of the firal result with so many states doubtful might be pro- lenged perhaps for another day, and there was some unofficial talk that the decision might even be thrown into the house of representatives. There were suggestions also that there might be in some states bitter contests over the integrity of the re- turns which might be drawn out for | days, with the result hinging on a re- count. George W. Perkins at repub- | lican headquarters, commenting upon ltho close vote in some states declared {that a recount might be necessary. | Chairman McCormick early today | sent telegrams to every state and county chairman where the result ap- | pears close commanding them to “personally see that the ballot boxes are guarded and protected.” FRESH SHORE HADDO LARGE FAT MACKERE Genuine Cod Steak ......1b Cape Butter Fish' . ... ...Ib Fresh Hallbut Steak ,.....

Poland Toe ihgdom Ain,' Reports that Germany and Austria- Hungary would set up as an inde- pendent kingdom the parts of Poland occupied by their armies were re- celved with interest by every one who recalled the fact that Poland was formerly a great and flourishing kingdom and one of the most power- ful in Europe. The news was es pecially interesting to the hundreds of thousands cf persons of Polish de- scent in the United States. The an- nouncement said: “Germany and Austria-Hungary by joint action proclaimed Warsaw and Lublin the kingdom of Poland and re-established the right of the Polish nation to control its own destinies, to live an independent national life and to govern itself by chosen represen- tatives of tha nation “A few days ago a Polish delega- tion had called upon the imperial chancellor, Dr. von Bethmann-Holl- weg. Its members were representative Poles of all classes, all parties, all ranks of society and all creeds. They | transmitted to the German govern- ment the wishes of the Polish nation which now have been granted to them. “Thus the ancient kingdom of Po- land from which in the past came famous rulers like the Jagellones (a | new reigned in Poland from 1386 to 1572) and glorious scldiers like the great Sobleski (John IIL, king of Poland in 1674-1696 is now resurrested to life.

HUGHES IS SILENT Republican Candidate Sleeps Seven Hours and Declines to Comment on Change in Situation. New York, Nov. 8.—Charles E. Hughes awoke at 8 o’clock this morn- ing and a minute later was reading the newspapers and latest election dis- patches from doubtful states.
