St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 11.—Thirty-
two precincts whose records show they
should poll about 400 votes, the 2100
ballots cast by the state soldiers in
Texas and the votes of railroad and
traveling men under the absent vo-
ters' law tonight held the balance in

Hughes. Therefore the state was
still classed as doubtful, with pre-
dictions varying widely as the out-
come of the guardsmen's vote, and a
state is in. The republicans are claim-
ing that a recount in some of the close,
states will put Hughes over. Wilson
now has 269 votes, three more than is
1 necessary to elect and there is abso-
lutely no chance for Hughes to win.
