Wilson by 171 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.—Returns at 1:30 p. m. from 5,705 precincts in Ca]jfornia out of 5,867, gave Hughes 454,210; Wilson 458,769. This gives Wilson a lead of 4,559 on the ‘face of the returns. NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—The republican national commit- tee today~posted on its bulletin board the statement that by unofficial complete returns from New Hampshire, the state had gone to Wilson by 171 votes NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—Democratic National Chairman McCormick this afternoon wired all state chairmen that Wilson's election was an absolute certainty and to procure all the red fire possible and start the celebratiens tonight. ST. PAUL, Nov. 9 (12:30 p. m.).—Of the 346 Min- nesota precincts which are still out, 230 are in counties which have on partial returns given Wilson the best of it. Fifty-one are in counties where partial returns show prac- tical ties and the remaining 69 are in counties which have shown decided Hughes strength. Hughes’ lead, with | these 346 precincts missing, is 510. Wilson has gained | thus far today. al ST. PAUL, Nov. 9.—The St. Paul Daily News, on telephone and telegraphic returns from many missing ! cincts, tabulates 169,810 votes for Wilson and 168,481 for | Hughes, a lead of 1,329 for Wilson in Minnesota. These | figures are not official but are from official sources. ST. PAUL, Nov. 9.—Returns from 49 precincts In Beltram! coun ty, leaving 37 still missing, give Wilson 1,222, Hughes 911. This is one of the far north counties that the Wilson men have been depend- ing on. Clay county, complete, Hughes 1,549, Wlison 1,721. The last five precincts added 10 net to Wilson. Thirteen of the 14 missing precincts of Polk county added 86 to Wilson's lead. By Perry Arnold NEW YORK, Nov. 9.—President Wilson is within 10 votes of re-election. Charles E. Hughes must gain 23 if he is to obtain a majority. This was the outstanding feature of the progress of the count today at noon. With 256 votes in the electoral college indicated for the democratic candidate in United Press returns, California alone—or |Minnesota alone—would be enough to make Wilson the next president. Hughes, on the other hand, must carry both of these states. As if further to drag out the agony among politicians, California exhibited a strong Wilson tendency and Minnesota a strong Hughes drift.
