WILSON WINS CALIFORNIA
(Wednesday eve. Bulletin)
Wilson carries California. The next congress will he
Democratic. (Note: The above bulletin made Wilson’s
election certain. Just previous to its receipt came the
news that he had 256 electoral votes and as California has
13 it gave the President 269, or three more than the re
quisite number.
EXCITEMENT IN LONDON
LONDON, Nov. 8.—The morning’s papers announced
that Hughes was victor in the presidential election and in
tense excitement ensued. British officials bombarded the
L. S. Embassy for news and apparently the British pub
lic felt that the election would have some bearing on the
war.
LAST EVENING’S CABLES
Several cables came last evening after press time to
the Gateway, most of them still showing a doubtful situa
tion until the bulletin about California arrived. At four
p. m. Wilson was apparently safe. Minnesota had been
undecided but looked safe for Wilson. New Mexico was
practically sure for the Democrat and the leaders of his
party seemed sure of 271 votes regardless of California
which Hughes was still apparently sure of carrying.
Hughes was leading in West Virginia. Out of 720 pre
cincts he had a lead of two thousand. Frisco reports that
out of 3712 he had a lead of two thousand in California.
As i he afternoon wore on the Democratic leaders in New
York claimed 273 electoral with California still undeter
mined. After 4,020 precincts hail been counted in Cali
fornia Hughes had 317,840 and Wilson had 314,098. Then
came the announcement by McCormick that Wilson had
been "absolutely re-elected." With half the votes in North
Dakota counted Hughes had a plurality of just twenty.
With 392 precincts counted in Los Angeles Wilson was
leading and the indications were that he would carry the
state. In New York it was reported that Perkins had con
ceded Calfornia to the Democrats and the contest appear
ed to be over.
WILSON ANXIOUS AND DOUBTFUL
LONG BRANCH, Nov. !>. — Wilson rose at 8 this
morning. He watched the returns carefully and was anxi
ous and doubtful. Senator Hollis wired his congralula
lions early in the morning and asserted that Wilson had
carried New Hampshire.
THIS MORNING'S CABLES
(Note: The very first cable coming this morning
stated that the United Press had rescinded its statement
that W ilson had carried California which was rather sen
sational.
(Bulletin)—The United Press rescinds its bulletin of
ast night claiming that W ilson had carried California.
