WILD EXCITEMENT IN
CALIF. AT THE FINISH
Pacific New* Scrvioc.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.—The
presidential contest In this state Is
without parallel as regards the close
ness of vote, the uncertainty of the
outcome, and the excitement which
prevailed for two days following the
casting of the ballots.
Yesterday as the remote precincts
came slowly In with the candidates
running almost neck and neck the ten
sion was excessive. The precincts
from the southern part of the state
favored Hughes as a general thing
and those In the northern counties
usually Bhowed a Wilson leaning. At.
one time it seemed that the Wllse
load of 2500 would be entirely cut
off when a number of Hughes precincts
came in succession.
In the afternoon when tho news
came that California was the pivotal
state and upon the slender thread of
his small lead hung Wilson's chance
for re-election the excitement was
tremendous. Charges of fraud were
made by both sides and In the hours
of tension there were few cool heads
Republican leaders acknowledge
that the loss of the state to Hughes is
due to the fact that he coldly ignored
the large progressive republican ele
ment when he made his tour of the
state. It can now be clearly seen th-il
had ho unbent a trifle and catered to
the progressives a little instead of
•
standing exclusively with the stal
wart machine he would now be pi es I - |
dent-elect. The progreslves fnlled to
give him their support in considera
ble numbors. The woman vote which
supported tho state republican ticket
failed to give Hughes Indlvlded sup
port.
Men with sporting proclivities who
backed Hughes for carrying the state,
giving odds us high as live to one
and four to one freely, have been hard
lilt. Even after the first precincts
showed Wilson tendencies plenty of ^
money was wagered on Hughes at.
