LATEST RETURNS
OF THE ELECTION
THIRTY-NINE STATES
BY WILSON
CARRIED
SOME STATES ARE CLOSE
California Carried By Roosevelt By a
Very Narrow Margin— President-Elect
Issues Word
to People "
New -York — Uncertainties aa to the
local choice of California and Illinois
as developed by belated returns from
both states was the chief point of
Interest up to Sunday morning al-
though the counting of ballots in sev-
eral doubtful states still was under
way
That Ilinois had gone to the Wilson
column was Indicated by returns from
down state precincts and California
which had been claimed by the dem
ocrata shortly after the closing of the
polls first wavered toward the pro-
gressive ranks later "swung toward
Wilson and on the latest returns has
been carried by Roosevelt by a mar-
gin of less than 200 votes This may
be changed by the official count '
After apparently holding Illinois for
nearly forty hours from the time the
polls closed Colonel Roosevelt lost
Its 29 electoral votes when the as-
sembling of statewide returns showed
a definite vlctoiy for overnor Wilson
On the strength of incompelte re-
turns as to tne popular vote for the
candidates the estimate was' made
that Governor Wilson would not have
a majority of all votes cast In many
states the popular vpte has been only
roughly estimated thus far but the
reports indicate that the combined
vote of Roosevelt and Taft will be
approximately 1000000 more than the
vote for Governor Wilson
The figures will be materially
changed by the final count but it Is
expected the proportion for each can-
didate will not vary greatly
The preliminary count gives Wilson
approximately 46 per cent of the vote
Roosevelt 29 per cent and Taft 25
per cenL This total vote thus far re-
ported is less than in 1908 while offi-
cial returns are expected to bring it
above these figures In 1908 out of a
combined vote of 14030858 cast for
Taft and Bryan President Taft re-
ceived over 64 per cent
WILL CONTROL SENATE t
BY NARROW MARGIN
Latest Returns Give Democrats Con-
trol With Vote of Vice-
President Washington— Control of the senate
In the sixty-third congress now is
practically assured to the democrats
Conceding 1 6 the republicans the legis-
latures of all states still in the ‘’doubt-
ful” column Friday the democrats will
have a vote of 48 or one-half of the
entire membership of the senate with
democratic vice president in the chair
to cast the deciding ballot In case of
tie Seven states are yet to be
heard from definitely A senator
from one of these would give the dem-
ocrats a clear majority and It Is pos-
sible their strength would be even
further Increased by winning in sev-
eral Kansas has been added to the dem-
ocratic column In the past twenty-four
hours The states in which the com-
plexion of the legislatures is yet to
be decided are: Illinois Michigan
New Hampshire Oregon South Da-
kota Tennessee and Wyoming Ordi-
narily Tennessee could be relied upon
to help the democratic party but the
factional fight there may prevent In
this crisis
- Nebraska's Plurality Large
Lincoln Neb — With returns from
three-fourths of Nebraska's counties
In Wilson’s plurality is 310p0 The
remaining counties should inorease
his lead making it probably nearly
40000 Practically the same coun-
ties show Moorehead democrat for
governor 12000 ahead of Aldrich
with a probable further gain of 4000
or 5000 for Moorehead Norris re-
publican for United States senator
is leading ShaJIenberger democrat
by about tbe same ratio Chief inter-
est centered in the legislature the
republican stale committee claim
lng control of both branches Re-
turns from senatorial districts shew
the election of 15 republicans only
two short of a majority with 11 dis-
tricts to report Returns on the house
are too incomplete to Justify claims
either way '

o'clock Thursday night again wlpod

nia and put Roosevelt 130 ahead The

Princeton N J— President-elect
Woodrow Wilson has not decided up-
on the personnel of his cabinet and he
Intends to keep" his mind open on the
subject for a long time before he
takes office He manifestly Is concern-

the probable make-up of his cabinet
To put an end If poslble to all gossip
about' cabinet appointment he is-

"Such speculations are perfectly
frluttess 1 mean to keep my mind en-
tirely open with regard to appoint-
ments of the first consequence until a
final announcement is possible It
will be perfectly useless to resort to' I
me for corroboration of any report

CARNEY GAINS ON V
OFFICIAL COUNT
Complete Official Returns May Change
Aspect of Congressional Race
I Oklahoma City— There was a slight
but distinct change In the second dis-
trict congressional situation over Sun-
day Judge Camey netted 63 votes
clear over the- Morgan claims In the
two first counties to come to the state
election board Both the Carney and
Morgan headquarters have based their
conflicting figures upon unofficial re-
turns and It Is still very likely that
it will take a full official count to
settle the question of who was elect-
ed Woods and Roger Mills are the two
counties who have reported the true
vote In Woods Morgan received
1M1 votes Carney 1258 The Morgiyi
tabulation gave Morgan 1622 Carney
1145 Tbua Judge Carney gained
HS votca on the true count and Mor-
gan gained 69 votes above his own
figures which points even more to
their doubtful reliability ao far as
