«
from 118 precincts, locked in vaults,
which are still uncounted.
TACOMA—Hughes may get one
electoral vote from the state of Wash
ington. The death of- A. M. Stream,
one of the Democratic electors, and
the substitution of E. M. Connor, a
Republican as elector, may give tfiis
one vote to Hughes.
SANTE FE—Hughes is leading
slightly in the state.
FARGO—The returns so far receiv
ed give Wilson a lead in this state of
1218.
CONCORD, N. H.—The Secretary

NEW YORK—Vance McCormick,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, answers the statement of
Chairman Willcox of the Republican
Committee, by stating that Wilson is
assuredly elected and that Willcox
is well aware of that fact. He accuses
Willcox of wailing at some imaginary
person who has cheated Hughes out
of the victory, whereas he knows the
only chance Hughes has of winning
at this time is through fraud. Mc
Cormick says he is willing to leave
it to the people of the country to
judge who is most likely to resort
to desperate measures at this time.

parently Republican. The Republi
