SEATTLE, Nov. 11,—It now seems
certain that a woman has been elected
to congress. Jeanette Itankin, repub
lican candidate for the house of rep
1 (sentatlvcs, has undoubtedly been
elected ns one of tho Montana dele
gation.
She is tha first woman to have
achieved this honor and Is receiving
telegrams of congratulation from
prominent woman and from women’s
organisations all over the country.
CHICAGO, Nov. 11.—Attention Is
called by republican headquarters to
the vote of guardsmen on the Mexi
can border. In almost every instance
It favored Vlvghes very strongly and
'his is taken to be a repudiation of
Wilson’s Mexican policy by those who
have been In the ground a long time
and have hud t chance to observe the
conditions at frst hand.
The gunrdrman vot» had quite .a
1 It to do with the closeness of the vote
in Minnesota as It was almost unnml
mous for Hughes.
CHICAGO, Nov. 11.—West Virginiu
went republican and for Hughes.
New Hampshire went republican but
Hughes lost by 97 votes.
California and Monnesota aro for
Wilson by about 2,000 each, subject
to mistakes In the tally. North Dako
ta is in the Wilson column.
0
There Is no doubt of Wilson's vic
tory but it Is not a party victory as
the senate will be republican and the
house evenly divided with 215 dem
ocratic members and 215 in opposition
of whom 211 will be republicans and
one socialist, one protectionist, one
progressive and one independent.
NEW YCHK, Nov. 11.—Wilson has
won but the democratic party has
been defeated. The great west whloh
elected Wilson Is sending on repub
lican senators and representatives.
Chagrin Is felt among republican
leaders that the progressive and wo
i man vote In the west was not handled
| with more consideration. It is now
clearly seen that a lack of political
diplomacy Is responsible for Hughes'
failure.
SEATLE, Nov. 11.—Republican lend
ers aro reported ns figuratively
gnashing their teeth because of the
(allure o( Hughes to carry California,
Minnesota arwl North Dakota. They
can soe now have easily il could have
been done.
Although the republican national
committee has not yet acknowledged
defeat nor has Mr. Hughes sent the
customary telegram of congratulation
to his opponent there is little hope
in the big republican camps for a
reversal of the present returns nml
the talk of demanding a recount is
merely a bluff put forth as the usual
thing clone in such cases.

AUSTRIA TO APPOINT
NEW AMBASSADOR TO
UNITED STATES
International News Service.
WASHINGTON. Nov. II Austro
| Hungary opened negotiations with
| the United States some days since
through American Ambassador Pen
fleid at Vienna with a view to send
ing an ambassador to Washington to
fill the vacancy caused by the depar
ture for Former Austrian Ambassa
dor Dumba.
For some time the Austro-Hungarian
government was reluctant about filling
Dumba's place but his recent death
removed the chief reason which was
of a delicate nature, and now it dc
sires a fully accredited representative
at Washington.
The name of Count Tarnow Tar
nowiki, now Austro-Hungarian min
ister to Bulgaria, was proposed to the
state department and inquiry was
made as to his acceptability to the
United States.
Secretary of State I.ansing has re
plied that he. is entirely persona grata.
It Is understood that his appointment
is to he announced today at Vienna.

cincts to r e heard from gives Wick
ersham a plurality of 155 votes.
Thus the delegate goes to the third
(Mislonl with a plurality of 376 so
fai as returns are known.
The reports from Juneau are confus
ing. A recent dispatch from that
i cr gives Sulzor 2,226 and Wicker
sham only 1,745. Against this is the
Nugget’s dispatch from the Juneau
Empire which gave Wickersham 1,801
with only 15 precincts yet to bo heard
from. It is hard tor understand how
any additional returns set Wick back
from 1,801 to 1,745.
And furthermore it is no cinch that
the remote vote in the first division
Is for Sulzor as he Is not so very
popular with the fishermen down that
way. Ketchikan gave Wick a i>lur
ality of 87 and Petersburg Is likely
to give him the bulk of its vote.
The outside camps in the fourth
division nro more than likely to favot
Wickersham to tlio extent of 60 more.
In all probability the returns from
the Wade Hampton precinct which
includes Fortuna Ledge and the Mar
shall camps will settle the election.
If anybody can tell how these camps
have voted they can tell whether it is
Sulxer or Wickersham for delegate,

BUNG EVACUATED
Pacific News Service.
EL PASO, Nov. 11.—Indications aro
not lacking that the entire province
of Chihuahua may soon be in posses
sion of Villa and his bandits.
Toduy a second military train fol
lowed the one of yesterday into
Juarez loaded with 600 troops bt the
do facto government.
The soldiers said, und their story is
borne out by the reports of agents
of the state and war department, that
bandits are raiding freely around
Chihuahua City and are unmolested
by the troops of Carranza.
Certainty is felt here that tho Car
ranzlstas are evacuating Chihuahua
City. No other explanation of the
arrival of the two trains loaded with
troops, when they are certainly need
ed to round up the raiding bandits,
can be given.
Tho meaning of these developments
can only be conjoctured but they
have aroused great eurolsltv in arms
circles.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—News of
tho evacuation of Chihuahua City, as
seems to be likely from the arrival of
troop trains at the border Is disquiet
ing to the department of state but no
official statement ts yet forthcoming.
