New York, Nov. 6.—Only the uncer- tainty of a few close states whose elec- toral vote in no way can affect the election of Wilson and Marshall, spec- ulation over the popular vote of the three presidential candidates, and the complexion of legislatures that will name United States senators, held in- terest tonight in the final returns of yesterday's general election. Twelve Electoral Votes for Taft. The total of the republican electoral column apparently was fixed at 12 5 of Idaho, Utah and Vermont; but the footing of the Wilson and Roos:- velt columns flickered alternately dur- ing the afternoon and night, as late returns from Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, South Dakota and Wyoming gave in- dications of change from the results accepted last night. Wilson Sure of 387 Votes. On the basis of the latest returns early in the evening, with the vote of lowa, Kansas, Minnesota, South Dako- | ta and Wyoming placed in the “doubt- ful” column, President-elect Wilson has 387 certain votes in the electoral college, Colonel Roosevelt 89 and Pre: ident Taft 12. All doubtful states ex cept South Dakota gave more or les certain indications during the night | of landing in the list of Wilson elec- | toral votes, while South Dakota’s re- | turns showed Roosevelt plurality. | Woman Suffrage in Four More States. | A bye-phase of the general election | that became known today was the | success of woman's suffrage in four of | the five states where constitutional | amendments were submitted td the | people. The victory of the women wes complete in Kansas, Arizona and Michigan; late returns from Oregon | indicated they had succeeded there | also, while from Wisconsin came re- turns showing the decisive defeat ofy the equal suffrage proposal. i Popular Vote Not Determined. Estimates of the popular vote polled | by Governor Wilson ranged through many millions during the day. found impossible to compute with any | acouracy the popular vote of any of | the presidential candidates, and it will be a number of days until the count- ing of the three-cornered contest in the different states is concluded and an acourate tabulation of the popular vote is possible. Wilsen May Not Have Popular Vote. Assertions were made today from meveral quarters where an effort had been made to gather preliminary pop- uler vote figures, that Governor Wilson had not secured a majarity of the votes cast throughout the country. Estimates ranged from a small majority of all votes to figures nearly 1,000,000 below a majority. The popular vote, how- ever, would in no way affect the elec- tion of his complete control of the electoral college, should it show his | total to be less than that of the com- | bined vote for Roosevelt and Taft, | A Few Surprises. There were many surprises through- out the day and might. Farly in the day New Hampshire, first credited to Maft, went definitely into the Wilson column, with a majority of about 1,500 for the democratic candidate. Returns from Idaho, which came in scattering form early in the day, favored Wilson £o0 strongly as to create the belief that it would give him its electoral vots, but late returns made it the third | » state to go certainly for Taft. | Roosevelt Probably Carries lilinois. The Roosevelt *forces, watching the | returns hourly as they come from Illi- | mois, suffered a scare as the down- | state democratic districts reduced | Roosevelt's plurality from Cook coun- tv until it promised to disappear. Late in the day a complete report from | Coolk county again swelled the Roose- welt majority In the state, and seem- | $ngly made certain the control of Illi- nois’ 29 votes by the progressive can didate, - | Kansas 8till in Doubt. Kansas, which had been conceded to Roosevelt by all interests on the pre- liminary returns last night, gradually | elipped back during the day until it had become a question tonight wheth- ! er Wilson or Roosevelt would control | its ten votes. i 8till Counting in lowa and Minnesota. Governor Wilson had the better of ! the situation in lowa and Minnesota, where the counting still was in prog- ress tonight, with but a narrow mar- n between the candidates, while jouth Dakota, still a doubtful state, apparently h: turned toward Roose- welt on the later returns. WILSON MAY HAVE 400. South Dakota and Wyoming Have Probably Gone Democratic. New York, Nov. 7.—Returns up to a Jate hour last night seemed to assure | Wilson and Marshall of 400 votes in } the electoral college. Iowa and Kan- sas, which with Minnesota, South Da- f kota and Wyoming, were in the doubt- ful column during the day, seemed almost sure tonight to swell the dem- ocratic total in the final alignment of states. Possibilities of a further gain remained for Wilson through the ac- , cession of Wyoming, in which state he led Taft by a small margin, with one-third of the vote tabulated. / _ On the other hand, late figures from |/Bouth Dakota tended to assure the ‘state to Roosevelt, the progressive candidate leading by a fair margin and , maintaining his lead fairly well on @dded returns. In Minnesota Roose- velt led Wilson by a small margin with one-third of the vote tabulated. THE NEW CONGRESS, Democrats Already Have 61 Than a Majority. Meore House of Representatives: Democrats, 279. Republicans, 118, Progressives, 12, Districts unreported, 26 Total membership, 435. The foregoing showed the standing - &t 8 o'clock tonight of the house of pepresentatives in the Sixty-third | | | i t general trend toward a | { South Caroclina (new) congress. The total of 279 gave the democrats 61 more th§n the 218 necessary for a majority and 49 more than the democratic membership in the Sixty-second .congress. Returns up to 8 p. m. indicate that the political complexion of the house of representatives of the Sixty-third congress will be as follows: = Squs Toowa o) s 3 diy Alabama Arizona Arkansas ..

Total 25. . The latest returns have not dimin- ished the heavy democratic majority in the house of representatives, but they did play see-saw with “Uncle Joe” Cannon and finally left him de- feated decisively by a_emgjority of 600, Gillette, of Massachusetts, probably will succeed to Cannon’s position as senior republican on the Appropria- tlons committee. UNITED STATES SENATE. Almost a Certainty That Will Control It. Democrats That the democratic party would control the United States .senate be- came almost a certainty late Wed- { nesday night when only the possible loss of West Virginia seemed to stand in the way of success, Of the 19 seats held by republicans which were at stake in the election, it became necessary for the democrats to elect six to secure a majority in the senate, provided they were able at the same time to retain possession of their own. Returns up to Wednesday night gave them the following in republican' strongholds: Two in Colorado, where John F. Shafroth, democrat, for the full term, and C. S. Thomas, democrat for the short term, will be elected by a demo- cratic legislature. One in Montana, where republicans and progressives conceded the election of T. J. Walsh, democratic, One in Kansas, where W. R. Stubbs, republican, conceded the election of his opponent, William H. Thompson, democrat. One in Delaware, a democratiz legis- lature assuring the return of a demo- crat to succeed Richardson, republican, retired. ._The uncertainty as to West Virginia indicated in earlier reports, seemed apparently the only obstacle to a dem- ocratic majority. Definite returns are still lacking from Oregon, Wyoming, Tennessee, New Hampshire, Illinois, Iowa and South Dakota. Late figures from Nevada indicate that Pittman, democrat, is leading and is probably elected. The personnel of the new senate will show many of the well known veter- ans,with a large infusion of new blood, Among the prominent senators holding over are Root, Lodge, La Follette, Gal- linger, Penrose, Clapp, Culberson, Kern, O'Gorman, Rayner, Shively and Hoke Smith. Others re-elected or like- ly to come back include Senators Ba- con, Tillman, Borah, Nelson, Simmons, Martin, Bankhead, Davies and Owen. Among those who failed of renomi- nation and whose names will not ap- Pear on the senate rolls on the 4th of March is Bhelby Cullom of Illinois, Wwhose congressional career goes back to the time of Abraham Lincoln. In- cluded in this list are also Senators Curtis of Kansas, Bourne of Oregon and Gamble of South Dakota. Sena- tors Bailey of Texas, Crane of Massa- chusetts, Guggenhelm of Colorado, Richardson of Delaware, Burnham of New Hampshire and Wetmore of Rhode Island retire voluntarily. All :1t them refused to stand for re-elec- lon. Among the most prominent of the new men Wwho already have been chosen ars Ollle James of Kentueky and Joseph B, Ransdell of Louisiana, both present members of the house and both democrats. Mr. WJames suc- ceeds Senator Paynter, and Mr. Rans- dell Senator Murphy J. Foster, The progressive republicans who Cabled Paragraphs Democratic Landslide in Hawaii. Honolulu, Nov. 6—Representative Kalaniacle was Te-elected to congress yesterday. The election was a demo- cratic landslide for all territorial of- fice and for members of the legisla- ture. Fresh Loan Negetiations. London, Nov. 6.—Fresh loan negotia- tions between the Chinese government and the group of bankers representing the United States, Great Britain, Ger- many, France, Russia and Japan were opened at Peking yesterday. Insurrection in Liberia. Berlin, Nov. 6.—An insurrection among the inhabitants of the Liberian republic is reported here and the gov- ernment has ordered the German cruiser Panther to proceed to Mon- rovia for the “protection of German residents. Election Fortunate for Germany. Berlin, Nov. 6.—The election of Woodrow Wilson is regarded generally by the German press as a most fortu- nate, occurrence for Germany. The newspapers say that it gives promise of a reduction of the tariff which has crippled the German export trade. were candidates for the senate and whose success seems assured by the election of legislatures in sympathy with them are Borah of Idaho and Norris of Nebraska. Kenyon of Iowa, Sherman of Illinois and Stubbs of Kansas each appears to have a chance of success. Senator Dixon of Montana, who has given his time to Colonel Roosevelt's campaign, is in the deubtful lis the chances against him. REPUBLICANS UNI;ECOGNIZED. Pushed Out by Progressives Under Laws of Maryland. Baltimore, Nov. 6.—Gov. Woodrow Wilson carried Maryland yesterday by a plurality of more than 54,000 over Roosevelt, according to nearly com- Dlete returns received today. The to- tal vere: Wilson 112,122; Roosevelt 57,67 Taft 54,643, The result of the election in Mary- land has developed a peculiar situation in this state. The election laws recog- nize first the party polling the most votes at the preceding general election and then the party polling the next highest vote. On this latter position the progr , being second highest, now stand, and Col. E. C. Carrington, chairman of the progressive state committee, declared today that his party would claim all the privileges and Denefits accruing to the party which polls the second largest vote. “THE FIGHT WILL GO ON.” Roosevelt Says “the Cause Will Tri- umph in the End.” Qyster Bay, Rooseve today , Nov. 6.—Colonel the field of battle and gathered as much of the | story of yesterday’s defeat as he could Diece together. His lieutenants in each state wired to him their reports, in many cases incomplete, and Colonel Roosevelt was still in doubt as to just what the progressive party had been able to accomplish in its first campaign. There. was nothing of the aspect of a beaten general and no lint of defeat in his manner. He smiled as easily and told sorles as gaily as before, and apparently\was enjoying life thorough- ly today. Colonel Roosevelt said he wants to tell his supporters everywhere what he thinks of the outcome and the outlook. The only eason that he did not do so tonight was thath he had not the facts at hand. “I want to find out just where we stand first,” he explained. “The re- turns are far from complete. For in- stance, I saw in an afternoon paper that Mr. Wilson had carried Minneso- ta, and I have just recetved a telegram saying that I carried it. I don’t know which is correct. And I wish also to hear more fully from the south. When I have all the facts accurately I shall make a statement.” » The only thing which was accepted as a fact at Sagamore Hill today was that the fight was to go on. What methods Colonel Roosevelt will adopt are unknown, even to himse]f. “Of course, the fight will go on,” he said, with an air of finality. “In the end the cause must triumph.” Close friends of Colonel Roosevelt said he was not surprised at Governor ‘Wilson’s election, because he was at no time confident, they asserted, that the new party would be able to win its first fight. The showing which the party made, his friends said, had pleased rather than disappointed its leader. Several progressive leaders came to Oyster Bay to talk over the election and the plans for the future. Governor Hiram W. Johnson and Gifford and Amos Pinchot of New York spent an hour at Sagamore Hill late in the aff- ernoon and tonight George W. Perkias, Frank A, Munsey and H. L. Stodard motored down from New York. Neith- er Colonel Roosevelt nor his visitors would discuss their plans. When he goes to his editorial office in New York on Friday he is to hold another conference, at which time some definite arrangements for keeping up the pro- gressive campaign may be made. It is Colonel Roosevelt’s desire to have a vacation from politics after these plans have been decided upon, although he expects to keep constantly in touch with the general aspects of the situation. It is hoped to carry for- ward some kind of progressive propa- ganda throughout the next two years, with an eye to the congressional and state elections in 1914, for the party leaders decided,at once that the futurs of the organization would depend largely upon what it was able to ac- complish in the next general election. HUNDREDS OF TELEGRAMS. George W. Perkins One of Those to Congratulate Wilson. Princeton, N. J.,, Nov. 6.—Telegrams by the hundreds piled up at the home of President-elect Wilson today. Con- gratulations came from everywhere—— from republicans, progressives and democrats alike. Speaker Champ Clark wired as fol- lows: “"Twas a great victory, Comgratu- lations to you and the country.” From Oscar Underwond, majority leader in the house of representatives. “You have won a wonderful victory for the democratic party. I congratu- late you on, the result and you have my sincere best wishes fur a success- ful administration of the affairs of our government.” From Gov. Judson Harmon of Ohio: “My heartiest wishes for a pleasant and successful administration tc crown your great victory at the polls’” From George W. Perkins, chairman of the national progressive party ex- ecutive committee: “You have won a great -victéry, Permit me to congra‘ulate you very heartily.” (Other election news on Page Two,), tonight Wilson Pleases ELECTION REGARDED AS LOW FARIFF VICTORY. A DEFINITE MISSION News Declares American People En- trusted It With “Regenerated Party” —Other Foreign Comments. London, Nov. 7.—The chief interest in the American presidential election for England is its relation to the tariff. Tariff reform is one of the leading is- sues in British politics. The liberal papers hail the democratic success as a great victory for low tariff which is certain to have an influence in Eng- land. A Definite Mission. The Daily News say! “That the democratic party should return to office after 15 years in the wilderness is nothing. What matters is that it is a regenerated party which has returned entrusted by the Ameri- can people with a deflnite mission and led by a man who has character and intellect to carry the mission through.” More College Men in Politics. The News thinks that Woodrow Wil- son’s election should stimulate all men of the American universities, which are more national and democratic than the English, to participate in politics. Taft Controlied by Bosses. The Morning Post says: “The significance of the election lies in the fact that the people were dis- satisfied with the Taft administration, which was too much controlled by the bosses, but were not ready to accept the advanced Roosevelt programme.” No Violent Hands on Tariff. The Express says: “Mr. Wilson’s success depends upon the degree to which he can raise en- thusiasm for politics in hitherto apa- thetic quarters. He will not lay vio- lent hands on the tariff.” American People Dissatisfied. | “What emerges most _significantly from the election,” vs the Chronicle, “is that the majority of the American people have awakened to keen dissat- isfaction with things as they are; that a great forward surge is agitating the mighty mass; that although to some its purposes may bg confused, to some there is enough will and gigantic nation to carry it forward to final victory.” A WITNESS FOR ETTOR DENIES BEING COACHED | “Italian School Teacher” Receives | Grilling Cross Examination. Salem, Mas! Nov. 6.—Francesca Cuzzo, known among her people as the “Italian school teacher” of Lawrence, a mill worker and a striker last win- ter, was subjected to a grilling cross examination today as a witness for the defense in the trial of Ettor, Giovan- nittl and Caruso for the murder of Anna Lopizzo. She gave testimony regarded as val- uable by the defense when she re- peated her version of the speech made by the defendant, Giovannitti, on the Lawrence common, January 29, the morning of the day on which occurred the fatal riot. In his speech the pros- ecution has charged Giovannitti told the strikers to “seek the blood of the scabs.” Miss Cuzzo testified that Giovannitti said: “Go home and be united and calm. Don’t do anything against the forces of the authorities because they are commanded to do their duty. Don't go to Canaal street because that is there. If you go there the soldiers may do something to you because they are like wild animals searching for the blood of the workingmen.” District Attorney Attwill traced the | movements of Miss Cuzzo last Thurs- | day, October 31, when she attended a conference in Lexington hall in Law- rence, accompanied by another woman, Pasqualina Rogatas. She admitted she had gone there. “Didn’t Pasqualine Rogatas tell you,” Mr. Attwill asked, “that she did not hear Giovannitti speak January 29 and could not testify?” “We never discussed it,” Miss Cuzzo answered. “Didn’'t you tell her,” continued the district attorney, “that you did iheax‘ Ettor or Giovannitti either, but | You were going on the witness stand, any way “I did not, I.couldn’t, because I heard him the 29th. If anybody told me the speech I wouldn't come in here and fut my hand up.” “Didn’t you say to her, ‘A par old me everything and how to say it in court; you girls are so much afraid’ This the witness denied and the dis trict attorney kept up a similar fire of questions for some time without shaking her testimony. Two Congregational ministers, Rev. Nicholas Van der Pyl and Rev. George [KA Goodwin testified, declaring that |they had heard the defendants urge ‘Doaceful methods. One of them said Ettor's speeches were “nothing to alarm me as a minister.” MASSACHUSETTS’ VOTE. Wilson Has a Plurality of Over 18,000 Over Taft. Boston, Nov. 6.—Complete returns from Massachusetts for president show a_total vote of 170,995 for Wilson; 162,255 for Taft, and 140,152 for Roosevelt.

Columbus, O., Nov. 6.—Defeated but far from discouraged, President Taft already has formed plans for holding together and strengthening the repub- lican party. The plang are indefinite, but he declared tonight to friends who accompanied him north from Cincin- nati, that the party will conthue to exist; and that it will be as active in the past and that there is no reason | to believe that its chances of future success were not excellent. So far as | the president’s plan is comcerned, he | hopes to see orzanized a “National Republican club,” entirely apart from the republican national committee, which shall cherish the principlés of the party and be a source of political activity not only during eleetion years, but at all times. The president spoke of the Republican club of New York, the Hamilton club of Chicago, and other organizations similar in char- acter and expressed the belief that through these c interest and los- alty could be kept alive. . Will Return to Practice of Law. To a suggestion that he might be the republican party’s nominee in 1916, the president replied with a smile, but made no comment. He laughingly re- peated his intention of returning to { Cincinnati and the practice of law. The president is convinced that the task of President-elect Wilson will not be easy. He said tonight that he earn- estly hoped Mr. Wilson would not call | an extra session of congress to revise the tariff. He wished, he said, to_see the present prosperity continue as long as possible. A Congress of Untried Men. Mr. Taft declares that Mr. Wilson would face a congress made up to a large extent of untried men who have come to believe in “histrionic public- ity,” and who believed that to show their faith with the people, they must |at times be “insurgents” and oppose | the programme of the leaders. The president particularly in- | terested tariff i ughed when he said eagerly awaiting the democrat- to reduce the schedules of | that “iniquitous Payne-Aldrich law.” Tells a Pointed Story. Asked if he did not comsider Mr. Wilson more conservative than radi- cal, the president told the following | story about Senor Zias, head of the radical party in Cuba: | “Zias was campaigning once” said | the president, “and was accused of | being a conservative. “T am not a _conservative' said Zias, ‘I am a radical. I must speak | as a radical on the platform to keyp my followers, but in office I am not a radical.’” Won't Visit Panama Canal. The president left Columbus at 5.40 for Washinzton.' He expected to stay there with but few trips away from the White house until March 4. He announced today that he will not visit the Panama canal during the Christmas holidays, as he had planned, and_authorized Congressman Sherley’| of Kentucky, a caller on his private | car, who was en route to Panama, to | give Colonel Goethals his “kind re- | | gards.” N | Secret Service Men to Guard Wilson | Richarq L.

In accordance with the tactics adopted throughout the war, the Bulgarians are following up the defeated Turks with extraordinary en- ergy. Flying columns are pushing along the seacoast towards the Tchat- alja lines, and it is believed that the 'k will be delivered tomor- row or Friday Constantinople Loses Hope. Constantinople appears to have lost hope of stemming the victorious ad- vance even at Tchatalja and the Turk- ish court is ready to cross into Asia. Apparently, however, the Bulga government has no aspirations on Con- stantinople itself and would be ready to conclude peace provided Tuyrkey will agree to surrender Adrianople and some other positions in western eater of war and give a guarantes to bring no more reinforcements from Asia. Won't Treat Direct with Allies. The porte shows no disposition as yet to treat for peace direct with the allies and until the big Tchatalja bat- tle has been fought the diplomatic sit- uation is not likely to be changed. What will happen then, it is impossi- ble to foresee, the only thing certain being that the European concert which is not too harmonious will be faced by the most difficult and thorny task of settling the rival claims of the many aspirants for Turkish territory, Austria Watching Servians. Albania forms the crux of the posi- tion. It is stated that any attempt by Servia to encroach on Albania will be regarded by Austria as a casus belll. In the other hand, Servia de- clares that a port on the Adriatic is a matter of life and death for her, and she fails to see why her presence there should be detrimental to the interests of any other power. Further. Servia argues that she would only be regaining possession of what belonged to her before the downfall of the Ser- vian army, when Adriatic seaports Turkish Ministers in Coeuncil. Constantinople, Nov. 6.—The couneil of ministers sat until eleven o'clock tonight discussing the military situa- tion and the question-of mediation. Several prominent generals were in- vited to give an opinion on the posi- tlon of the army. Comprehensive measures have been adopted for the protection of the city and the fear of disorders is decreasing, principally since the foreign wruxwu have ar- rived.
