New York, Nov. 11.—With Repub- awaiting the official count in close states before conceding the defeat of Charles E. Hughes in the national election, the latest returns today in the close states of California, Minne- sota, New Mexico and New Hamp- shire still presented on their face no change affecting the president’s ma- Jority in the electoral college.. Chairman Willcox 1s again on duty at the republican committee’s head- quarters today but said he had noth- ing to add to his statement yesterday, in which he announcea that the re- election of President Wilson would not be conceded until after the offi- cial count in California and perhaps other close states.

Later Chairman Willcox gave out this statement: “The national committee is not raising the cry of fraud nor is it go- ing out searching for rraud, We have received any number of communica- tions, signed and unsigned, by tele- ing fraud, from all parts of the coun- try, but in all cases the communica- tions are referred back by us to state officials for investigation. “The national committee is simply in the same position as state officials, who are waiting for the result of the the official count and whose duty it is to certify which electors have been chosen.” Mr. Willcox added that he believed there is much less opportunity for fraud now than there used to be. 70 CLEAR COURT ROOM Police to Take Extra Precautions ‘When Jury Reports in Case of For- mer New York Commissioner. New York, Nov. lasting over a month, the case Michael A. Rofrano, former deputy street cleaning commissioner, changed with inciting the murder of Michael Gairmari probably will be submitted to the jury late this afternoon. The prosecution was expected to complete its summing up by noon, after which Justice 'Weeks, before whom the case was tried will make his charge. The police took extraordinary pre- cautions today to avoid any outbreak |in the court room when the verdict is rendered. It was expected then that every one except court attend- | ants, lawyers and reporters would be }excluded from the room when the jury announced that it had reached a decision. Gaimari, who was shot to death March 9, 1915, was a political lieuten- ant of Thomas Foley, a Tammany leader. Gaetano Montimagnel was convict- ed of having been the actual assail- ant and is under sentence of death at Sing Sing prison. It was at his trial that a witness gave testimony implicating Rofrano as the person who, at a conference, has been repre- sented as desiring Gairmari’s death. A. S. OF M, E.

Manchester Guardian Gives Progres- sives Due Credit For Helping to Re-elect President \\'l]son—-l\"ppon] Editors Praise Peaceful Disposition. Paris, Nov. 11, 5:30 a. m.—The newspapers, while giving prominence to the news of the American election, express little opinion as to the re- sult. What comment there is, is sympathetic to President Wilson. The Petit Journal says: “President Wilson’s victory is highly satisfactory to us for two reasons. The first is policies will be free from all electoral considerations, as the constitution for- { bids President Wilson from seeking a | third term. The second reason is that | the result of the election must put new life into American neutrality. Evidently an immense majority of the electorate prqnounced against war, but, apart from the millions of voters who approved the vigor with which the president forced the Germans to cede on the submarine war question cause he demanded an even firmer de- fense of American rights. The chief this double wish. Just as Hughes could not have ignored the| verdict against war, so Wilson must | take into consideration the condem-{ nation of a line of policy which Roose- | velt has characterized as ‘backbone- Peace With Honor. The Matin and the Parisiene ex- press the same views. The latter pa- per concludes: ,“It is because he played a very hon- orable role in a moment of a grave American people have renewed their mandate to President Wilson.

Progressives Help Wilson. London, Nov. 11, 10:10 a. m.—The Manchester Guardian attributes Pres- ident Wilson’s success to the rallying of a sufficient number of the progres- sive votes which Roosevelt gained in 1912. - “It seems a small thing,” this news- dicate a new epoch in American polit- ical life. The progressive movement arose entirely Independent of foreign politics.

Oyama, secretary of the department of agriculture and commerce of the imperial Japanese government, who is now in Pittsburgh. Activities of sev- eral suspects in Pittsburgh are close- ly looked into, the secretary said, and the matter may be laid before United States officials. | It is said shipments to this country particularly from the industrial cen- ters, have been greatly undervalued | and Mr. Oyama is convinced some | high officials in Japan are implicated | in the alleged tariff frauds as well as | v Oyama left here today for | New York where he will hold a con- | ference with the collector of lh‘d(‘ port.

New London, Nov. 11.—The Ger- man undersea merchantman Deutsch- lan@ ready to proceed to sea for its return voyage to Germany was still | tied up at the state pier, under shelter of the steamer Willehad this fore- ! noon. There were no signs of an im- | mediate departure. No information was obtainable from a rellable source | as to the probable time of sailing. | Rumors spread that the Deutschland would leave in the early afternoon ! and many persons went to the pier. | There was nothing to see. | The impression received was that' the craft would sail when the right moment came, and that probably would be down the harbor before those on shore were aware of the fact of departure. The Deutschland is ready to leave. It was provisioned yesterday and the crew are aboard. Captaln Koenig has the choice of three courses to reach the Atlantic ocean. be through the race at Long Island Sound entrance, and either of which would put his craft into waters near Martha’s Vineyard.

VICKERS GUN CHOSEN Rapid Firer Manufactured by Colt's Patent Fire Arms Company Adopted for United States Army. ‘Washington, Nov, 11.—The board, made up of Army, Navy, and Marine Corps afficers, ana of ctlvillans, ap- pointed by Secretary of War Baker to Teport on the type or types of ma- | chine guns best suited for the United States has recommended the im- 4,600 Vickers guns. The board’s report has been approved and the Bureau of Ordinance will proceed at once to award the con- tracts. 'The department has $10,000,- 000 available for the purchase of these guns. The Vickers gun is made by the Colt Patent Firearms Manufacturing com- rany, at Hartford, Conn. The guns will cost about $1,000 each, according to a rough estimate. The Colt com- pany has been selling practically its entire output of Vickers guns to the Entente Allies since the war began, but a new plant is expected to be in operation about January 1, next. The board divides machine guns into two types, light and heavy, each of which has a definite sphere of action in wartime. The Vickers gun, it holds, meets every requirement for Teavy guns, but a lighter rifle will not be recommended without additional tests. The report shows that 8,015 heavy | and 9,268 light guns will be required to equip the regulars and National Guard, on a basis of six rifles to a regiment, and with adequate reserves, It is recommended that congress be asked to supply funds for the pur- chase each vear®of enough guns to equip new units of either service | added under the National Defense | CUMMINGS IS SILENT Declines to Discuss Report That Cam- paign Worker Had Promised to Re- | veal Information of Corruption.

Goethals, governor of the Panama Canal Zone, will pass into the retired list of the army on his own application, dating from No- vember 15 next. Army orders today show President. Wilson has approved his application for retirement, after forty years service. The order of retirement affects only General Goethals’ miltary status and does not operate to relieve him from duty as governor of the canal zone, but is preliminary to his retirement. He probably will be succeeded by Lieut. Colonel Chester Harring, en- gineer corps now acting governor Col. Harring was sent to Panama to familiarize himself with the work several years ago. General Goethals had intended to retire as soon as the canal was in full operation, but with- drew his resignation when slides in- terfered with its operation. He has been selected by President Wilson as chairman of the eight-hour commission, which will review the ef- fect of the Adamson law. It has been understood that General Goethals de- sires to free himself from canal duties and rest before taking up his new task. THE KINGDOM OF ARABIL\.
