J, Nov. 10.—Con- firmation of reports of the increased strensth of varlous reactionary move- ments in Mexico served to offset today the apparent determination of the rep- resentatives on the Mexican-American joint commission to effect an early adjustment of the problems the two governments are facing. Until official reports revealed the truth of stories of Villa's successes in the north and of the progress made by other reac- tionaries in the south, there appeared a probability that an agreement would. be entered into, perhaps next week. That_appeared less likely today and the chance that a formal adjournment without agreement other than one of ion the most general character seemed moore probable. Reports received by the Americans from official sources and others re- celved by the Mexicans from their gov- ernment, dealing with the activities of Villa, were studled at the conference of the commissioners at their one long session today. The net result of the comparison of the reports was to dis- close that General Carranza now is conducting a defensive - campaien against Villa with a battle at Escalon immineat, of prosecuting .a W.

San Francisco, Calif,, Nov. 10.—Call- fornia politicians settled down tonight to prepare for a vigilant surveillance of the semi-official count of the state Dby county clerks and the final count by the secretary of state. All future proceedings, leaders of both parties agreed, will hinge upon what develops in these counts. At six o'clock tonight Wilson led in the state by 3,286 votes. With eighteen precincts missing the count stood: Hughes 462,818, Wilson 466,099 Chester H. Rowell, chairman of the republican state central _committee, and O. K. Cushing, chairman of the democratic state central committee, agreed that the outlying precincts still to be heard from would not make difference in ‘the unofficial returns. They differed as to the official count, Mr. Cushing claiming the state and Mr. Rowell claiming a split delega tion in the electoral college. The Cal- ifornia_delegation was spilt 11 to 2 in 1912 and was divided several times previously. Tonight the republicans expected to get three of the thirteen electors and perhaps more. Legal counsel has been retained by republicans and democrats to aid in watching the final counts. In addition, deputy United States marshals and se- cret service men have been detailed in the large counties, notably Alameda (Oakland), with, roughly, 100,000 votes and Los Angeles, with 260,000 votes on the two big tickets. Tomorrow being a half holiday, the count by county clerks probably will start Monday and the final count in the office of the secretary of state on Perhaps by a week from tomorrow the final official results may be known. - Awai There never - has . been a.question about the re-election of Unil States Senator McLean, and his opponent, Mr. Cummings, Wasted a lot of effort and of the kind of argument that ap- pealed only to the few.
