If official counts confirm the victory claimed by the democrats, Mr. Hughes will not sanction court proceedings contesting the election. The republicans are unwilling to concede the election to Mr. Wilson because a change of eight thousand votes in the closest states might make Mr. Hughes the winner. Unofficial returns show Wilson's lead in California to be about four thousand, that in New Mexico about twenty-three hundred, and in New Hampshire about one hundred. Hughes leads in Minnesota by about six hundred. The votes of the Minnesota militia men at the border have not been counted, but the republicans figure that they will carry the state, making a total of 255 electoral votes for Hughes. If a recount shows New Hampshire, North Dakota, and New Mexico to be republican, and Hughes gains a portion of the California vote by a split, he may be elected. TAKE I. W.
