' ruioioTOi aOTBi, llv SftOCff BARILBI RALEIGH, Nov. 15. Col. A. D, Watts today found himself wrong in ins election return tabulations for the first time in his long ca reer of handling the mathematical side of politics. His estimate of two days ago, when he listed the majority for the Democratic State Ticket at 70,000, was 16.000 short. He thinks the newspaper re turns failed to list the county ma jorities as large as they really were or the results may have been so unprecedented ilmt the most mat hematlctt 1 nt political mathe maticians found difficulty in get ting the count straight. The Colonel's revised statement of the majority which he avows is within a few votes of what the State board of electioia canvass will show," 'is 84,000. It may run to 85,000 or it may not get higher than 83,000, but he is positive It will be within these natures. That kls seven or eight thousand' great er than the 1820 record majority where aa the previous .estimate placed the 1922 majority 7,000 below 1920. The 84,000 majority is for the State ticket. Colonel Watts would not be surprised to see the ma-. Jorlty based on the maximum Democratic vote in each county approach a nundred thousand. Democratic Ticket Leads - 71,000 With St Counties to Canvass. , Official returns from 79 counties give the Democratic State ticket a majority if -T 1,000. The other 21 counties will give an additional 13,000 or 15.000. Based on these official returns, the total Demo cratic vote will be 225,000 and the Republican, 141,000. Seventy three per cent cf the 1920 Demo cratic Voters wont out to the polls the last eloctlcn day while only 60 per cent of the 1920 Republi can voters turned out.- The constitutional amendment proposal.

President Harding after a confer ence today with Chairman Lasker of the Shipping Board began work on his message to- the extra ses sion of Congress, , . , The message Is expected to be devoted almost entirely to 'a dis cussion of the pending merchant marine bill. Other legislation may be touched upon by the executive but. it is generally believed that present action of detailed views on other subjects than the merchant marine bill will await the annual message to the regular session on December 4. Prior to a. visit of1 the shipping board chairman to the White House, when much data, vas laid before the President, rWnator Cur-' (la, of Kansas, Republican Whip, Informed the President of arrange ments for the special reconvening of Congress, saying the Senate up on meeting will adjourn until Tuesday, out of respect to the late Senator Watson, of Georgia.

Tha enemy machines were spotti! down tha Potomac and the wori was washed by radio to Boiling Field. Back at the field, three diminu tive fighting Planes shot up. They had scarcely disappeared frou sight before three heavier fighting craft followed them. The distant grunvoli of the planes of the enemy bombers gave notice that they were at hand. Tho five big nlanes from Langley came on to thi, attack. From abovo dropped the defending planes into tne miost or tne enemy fight ana tne i-oxttie or Washington was on. The fighters used every maneuver of battle practlce.Vlck inp oft the bombers until the last of the quintet had been forced to earth, theoretically.
