He issued the following statement from his brother's home here: “The returns Insure the electton of Governor Wilson to the presidency. | This means an early change in the economic policy of the government in reference to the tariff.

Friends, who were with the govern- or while the returns were coming in during the evening, found difficulty in getting him to concede that he had won the election. Dudley S. Malone, gon-in-law of Senmator O'Gorman of New York, came out of the room where the returns were being Tead and said laughingly: / “The governor refuses to be elected.” His message to Chairman McCoombs was his figst statement admitting that all doubt of his election had passed. With tears of emotion in his eyes Governor Wilson stood before the stu- | dent body of Prineeton university as it eame cheering and singing to his house at 11.15 o'cleck to congratulate him on his election. The governor made a brief speech. The students gave the “lecomotive” veil of Prince- ton and sang “Old Nassau.” | As he sang the senorous song of | the celiege, his hand uplifted, moving steadily to the characteristic refrain | of the somg.

Capt. Bill McDenald, the Texas ranger, who is the géverners body. | ard, read a stack of returns and | felt so happy that he exclaimed: | “1 wonder if I'l get arrested i 1 just shot off my guns. If it keeps up this way I'll have to just turn ‘em | loose.” Captain McDonald is a close friend of Colonel Roosevelt, but differs with | him politically. ‘The governor was mnot over-confl- dent. When shown the returns from New York city he smiled. “I' msup- posed to carry the city by 3 to 1 in order to win the state,” he said as he continued his dinner. “VICTORY IS COMPLETE.” Chairman McCombs Unable to Keep | Up With Returns. New York, Nov. 5.—Early returns | from New York and the seaboard | | states were the cause of much exuka- | tion at_democratic pational headquar- | ters. Chairman McCombe early after | 7 o'clocic sent word to Governor Wil- son that his election was indicated by an overwhelming vote. Later in the| evening he made the following state- ment: “Victory is now complete. The re- | turns are coming in so fast that I can- | not keep up with them.
