ing his headquarters at St, Paul.
7 he reason for this foderal super

Hughes.

Local Wlckersham supporters c'.n
ont figure out how the Juneau prophets

only S46 votes ahead of tho delegate, j
Nome has a plurality for Wick of
110 votes Fortuna, Dime and others
A
jet to be head from. The fourth di- j
vision seems to give Wlckersham
something over 100 plurality and re
turns from tho third division give him
a plurality as well.
For these reasons tls« local men,
while they concede the vote as clos-,
are of the opinion that Wlckers.nm
is the winner.

■SEATTLE, Nov. 9.—The latest re
turns show that if Hughes carries
California he will be elected. This is
not absolutely settled to the last vote

sharps who are following the contest
closely.
T he official check shows that with
Minnesota conceded to Hughes as
seems to bo right according to the :
.rend ot the lute vote he has 25S votes
o Wilson’s 2ti0. Thus it appears that ;
.s goes California' so goes the nation j
provided that the trend in Mlnm-so
<.0 continue to favor Hughes.
NEW VOUK, Nov. 9.—One hundred
thousand dollars was offered on the
stock exchange floor today at noon

which Is the capital of Chihuahua.
The de facto government appears to
be totally unable to copo with Villa.
Whether this state of affairs exists
because of inability or by intention
is the subject of serious conjecture
ho Carranza forces arc much stronger
than Villa’s and should not be de
footed if (hey arep roperly led.

RE-ELECTED
SENATOR
FAIRBANKS, Nov. ».—Sutherland
has been re-elected senator from the
Fourth division with 1,865 votes to his
credit as against 1,167 for his oppon
ent, McGowan.
It was apparent that strong In
fluences worked against Sutherland !
and for his rival as his vote In the '
city was small compared to former
y'ears.
The outlying districts, however, !
where these influences were not felt i
were strong for him. Tolovana helped
aim greatly In the late returns as It
also did Wlckershain.
A few more small precincts are to
bo heard from but they will only add
to his majority.
