Democrats Claim at Least 273 Electoral Votes, and
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo Declares That
the President Can Win Without Vote of California.
Hughes Has 230 Sure Votes, and 28 Are in Doubts
Idaho Latest State to Swing Toward Wilson Col
umn Ohio Claimed for th President by From
50,000 to 100,000. -
With the prospects favorablo for President Wilson carrying Kansas, Minnesota and California, and New Hampshire pre
senting an oven break, both sides claiming tho Stato, it appears reasonable to the Democratic National Committee to claim
absolutely 273 electoral votes for tho President. This is 7 more votes than the required 266 necessary to a choice.
Indiana has gone republican. The nows did not discourage the Democrats, for they have had but faint hopes of carry
ing that State. A summary of tho situation In tho pivotal States follows:
In the Stato of Minnesota the cities of St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth gave Wilson 15,000 plurality. The Democratic
leaders claim that this lead cannot be overcome by the country districts. The St. Paul Dally News claims the State for Wilson
by 12,500.
The returns from more than one-half of the precincts of the State of Ohio to-day gave President Wilson a lead of 39,958,
the count being mado in 3,518 out of 5,570 preotnots. In tho Stato race Cox, Democrat, had 293,710 votes to 286,336 for
Willis, Republican, and Senator Pomerene was leading his Republican opponent, Hcrrlck, by 289,464 to 281,614.
The Democratic committee claims Ohio by 100,000 for Wilson and the safo cloction of the State ticket. The Republican
committee declines to concede the State to Wilson and claims success In tho Gubernatorial and Senatorial races.
Wilson assumed the lead in California. With 2,152 precincts out of 5,917 reporting, the count stood Wilson 141,396
to 140,672 for Hughes. J. H. Scemansky, registrar of votes in San Francisco, stated that the vote so far as counted indicated
that Wilson would carry San Francisco by about 20,000. Sec rotary of tho Treasury MoAdoo claims that Wilson can win
without California.
In Idaho this morning Wilson had a lead of 4,600 votes out of a count of 45,000 from 234 of the most populous
districts of the State. The total vote is estimated at 112,000. In the Gubernatorial race the Democratic candidate leads by
seventy votes.
" 1 '' West irginla, on a count of more than half the precincts In the
f-pjwrj rj CJnp'Vf) A I XfYTPl-H st;ltci K,1VC Hughes 4J, 120 to 38,716 for Wilson. Robinson, the Repuii
1 Tl fci CJLwtwV 1 VlxL V KJ 1 Cr jlican candidate for Governor, and Sutherland, the Republican candidate
for the Senate, lead Cornwell and Chilton by less than 2,000.
Although President Wilson vas leading Hughes In NMssouri on the
last returns by I3,ooo, Lamm, Republican candidate for Governor, led
Gardner, Democrat. The experts said that, while the Wilson 'cad
seemed to assure him the State, it could not be taken as a ccrtjlnty until
some outlying districts, normally Republican, had reported.
Chairman Hopkins, of the Wyoming State Democratic Committee,
claims the Slate lor Wilson by 2,000. The Republican committee rc-.
fuses to admit the claim. fi
Oregon was claimed by both committees to-day. Wilson carried
the outside districts of Multnomah County, in which Portland is located,
Iiy l.ooo, but Portland cut the majority to -loo.
Less than half of the 290 districts of Nevada' give Wilson 3,167
and Hughes 2,40 L Senator Key Pittman, Democrat, is leading for the
Senate.
In Washington 916 precincts out of 2,385 give Wilson 75,66 ,
Hughes 69,681.
Returns fmm 1 ,07-1 out of 2,174 precincts in Kansas give Wilson
145,803, Hughes 130,527.
The latest returns from New Hampshire, with 21 precincts missing,
gave Hughes a pluralty of 1,869 votes over Wilson, the vote being:
Hughes 42,325, Wilson do, l5S.
Henry W. Keyes, Republican, was elected Governor by a pluralty
of S.50O o-.ei John C. Hutchins, Democrat. The States two Republican
Congressmen, Cyrus W. Sulloway and l:dward H. Watson, were re
elected. I 'poii retmiiN iIuk f.ti received the Republicans hae trained House
