NEW YORK, November 10 President Wilson has been reelected ,f of his sec ond term as President of the United States on the face of the returns. At the same time, with several of the States so close in their votes that a re count may upset enough of the announced totals to elect Mr. Hughes, the nation is facing one of the greatest legal battles in its history. Both sides are preparing for this and the names of the attorneys being engaged are those of men preeminent in their profession. CALIFORNIA DECIDED ISSUE The reelection of President Wilson was conceded last night when the, majority for the Democratic nominee was increased by the late count in New Mexico .and when the last hundred precincts in California had been reached and it was 'certain, that the returns to come would not eliminate the Wpapn , majority, vtom i of he latest California precincts counted, as a milteV 'of fact, added iS the Democrat lead.' Late"6 sY nTCtVonly 'stxty-fivrpcllftts'Tn -tTis "SjAtr td UP-1tft1tmt Wilson was leading in California by 2909. r Announcement to president At a quarter to tan last night the returns in the office of the Associated Press showed that the big fight was over and thit the President had been returned for an other term. A "flash" was immediately sent out throughout the country. This message was delivered to Secretary Tumulty, at Ashbury I'ark, who greeted it ttith a shout of relief. lie hastened to get in touch by wireless with the President who is on the yacht Mayflower, en route to Willianistown, Massachusetts, where he is to be present today at the christening of his granddaughter. Mr. Tumulty communicated the news to his chief, but received no message in reply for publication. NO COMMENT AS YET Neither Mr. Hughes nor Chairman Wilcox of the Republican na tional campaign committee, when seen last night,-would make any com ments for publication, each stating that he preferred to wait for the complete figures before acknowledging defeat. In the doubtful States the last returns received early this morning show the following : NEW MEXICO FOR WILSON N'rw Mexico has probably given its vole to the President. Wilson took the lead in the final counting. When 480 of the 6.W precincts had reported in the vote stood .M.SS5 for Wilson aiwl 29,251 for Hughes. These returns are from all but one of the twenty-six counties of the State. Returns from forty-seven of the Socorro County precincts have been locked up in the ballot boxes, owing to mistakes on the part of the election oflicers. The clerk of Roosevelt County, without report inij the vote, announces that the twenty-seven precincts officially reporting have given Wilson a majority of 425. WEST VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN West Virginia has given Hughes a majority of 3090. with one hundred and seventy-five precincts out of a total of 1713 yet to be heard from. The vote at midnight last night, as reported from Charleston, stood: Hughes. 135,266; Wilson 132,176. Minnesota's last reported count has increased the Republican majority, the returns, practically complete, being: Hughes, J76.545; Wilson, 175.511. APPEAL TO THE COURTS The Republicans are already preparing to begin legal proceedings in every State where the Democratic majoritKi are .close, while the Demo crats are also preparing to demand recounts in the close Republican States, lest victory be snatched from them.

EW YORK, November 10 With the votes of four States still untabulated (4i because not yet completed in the count, President Wilson has a clear majority o three electoral college votes over the number necessary to elect, which the returns . from New Mexico are expected to increa se to a clear majority of thirteen over, the highect total now possible for Mr. H ugher The President has carried the fifteen Southern States and thirteen others, a to tal of twenty-eight out of the forty eight, with every probability of New Mexico being added to his column. - Hughes carried sixteen States, with three more almost certainly for him when the final counts are in. Of the States thit went Republican and which will prob ably b? yet added to the Republican column, eleven are Eastern States, six aye Middle. West States and two are Western. The counting-is as yet incomplete in M mneta." New Hampshire and West Vir- " 1 4 gin, Jxot! th lead in thes are" ftucb that 4U4!aafe their electoral college votes to the Hugh;s total. This will give a division Mr th -college of 272 for Wilson and 250 for Hughes.

DEMOCRATS HAVE BARE MARGIN IN SENATE ji ji j & ' j , . j . " j j PARTY NEAR DANGER MARK IN LOWER HOUSE ' Geergta ( 'tint iii n'd on l'ag Tureel. 5 LOWER HOUSE IS SPLIT . (Aiocltd Prn by rdral Wlr !.) HEW YOEK, November 10 Prealdeot Wilson will hare a fair working majority to support htm In the senate of tha Sixty fifth Congress, but a working majority In the house seemi moat unlikely. While the returns from all the eongreealotMl districts are incomplete it spears that the house will be almost evenly divided between the Democrats and the Republicans, with a handful of semi-Independents holding the balance of power. Revised returns at midni?bt how that the President will have two bund red and (Ifteen Democratic supporters In the house, with one independent and one Socialist who will probably vote with the Democrats on party measures. Oppostd will be two hundred and eleven straight Republicans, with one Progressive and one Progressive Protectionist. There axe three congressional rUttrlcU so evenly divided In the returns to date that they "cannot be clasalned. but If the finals stand as the vote In dicates the Democrats will gain one more seat and the Republicans two, leav ing the house divided Democrats 217, Republicans 216. There will be one woman In the house, the first woman ever elected to r no grew. This is Miss Jeanette Ranking, Republican, who has been elected from Montana, Tho doubtful. Democratic victory In the VreHidentlal 'K1'' carried with it a victory as indecisive in the congres Hioiial ruc.e leaving I'reaident Wilson with a scant margin, if any of legisla tive Kiipport. The Democrat lost one vote in tho nenate, retaining ttutir majority while the Republicana picked two voted. In the total membership of 4 .'15 in the bouxe, the Democrats are practically without a working major ity. With 21S voteH necessary for power, thrf lout thirteen votes at the present atand, reducing their vote of 22H to 215 with live ronitreseional seats Htill underided. The Republicans won 211 neat Jn the hoimc and four are muttered. In the sepnte forty nine votes are necciwary for a majority.
