First Returns PITTSFIELD, Mass., Nov. 7.—New Ashford, a small town 14 miles north of Pittsfield, in Berkshire county, was the first town in the United States today to announce its election re- sults, Out of 25 registered voters, 23 went to the polis and made known their choice for president, as follows: Hughes 16, Wil- son 7. In 1912 New Ashford’s vote for president was: Roosevelt 6, Taft 7, Wilson 4 For the first time in the history of the town, New Ashford Selectmen Elmer P. Beach, Emery Baker and Henry M. White opened the polls at 6 a. m. and closed them at 10 a. m. New Ashford is an agricultural town of 92 inhabitants, and voters were rounded up by Pittsfield newspaper men in automo- biles. That hundreds, if not thousands, of Se- attle voters will be disfranchised at Tues- day’s election thru failure of the new voting |machines to work smoothly, was indicated by the flood of complaints that reached The |Star, the auditor’s office and the county | headquarters of both parties before noon. | No provision was made to supplement the |voting machines with printed ballots, either |in cases where the machines failed to care |for the voters as fast as they were supposed |to or while out of commission thru break- 'downs, due to faulty machinery or the un- |familiarity of the voters with the intricate | set of levers.
