Reports to demo cratic national headquarters, accord ing to Joseph Davios, western mana ger, are that Wilson has a substantial plurality in Illinois with 23 counties missing. "I have no reason to change my statement lssuedi the day of the elec tion," said Mr. Davies, "in wheih I said I did not concede Illinois to Mr. Roosevelt. I am not prepared to make a flat claim of the state but I will say that my best judgment, based on the confidential reports from those 23 counties yet to be heard from, is that Wilson will have' the state by from 7000 Jo 10,000." - r Prnu-nwigivea Chief Onnoncnt. "It Is clear to us that the demo ' cratlc party has now a new chief op ponent in Roosevelt's party.' As to the republkan party: 'The king Is dead; long live the king.' "I think I express democratic opin ion when I say we will be content that Roosevelt's party shall continue to be the party of ultimate radicalism, if we may be the party of conservative pro standpatism that wrecked the republl- that we do not drop back to the standpatsm that wrecked the republi can party. "I am concerned to know what will become of the republican party i whether It will be absorbed by Roose velt or split up generally into parts which will work Into all the parties." The missing counties, he states, are southern counties, which have been consistently democratic. Roosevelt Carried Five Georgia Counties. Atlanta, Oa., Nov. 7. Complete re turns from 146 counties show the to tal vote: Wilson 89,997; Roosevelt 20,859; Taft 6339. The republican vote showed a fall ing oft of several thousand. Roose velt carried live counties in the state, Chattooga, Douglas, Haralson, Pauld ing and Pickens. Wilson Gets Kansas. Topeka, Kans.. Nov. 7. Later re turns today Increased Woodrow Wil son's plurality over Theodore Roose velt and that of W. H. Thompson, democrat, for United States senator, over Governor Stubbs, republican. The fight for governor between Arthur Capper, republican, and George H. Hodges, democrat, had narrowed down to a few hundred votea Ninety-fix counties out of IOC give these pluralities: Wilson 12,000; Thomoson 10.600: Capper 800. It Is estimated that the remaining counties will give Wllscn a total plu rality of 15,000 and Thompson 12,000 In the nine missing counties, some of which are democratic, It is pre' dieted by the democratic state chair man that Hodges will easily overcome Capper's lead.

Progres sive leaders claimed today a large enough plurality for Roosevelt In Los Angeles county to overcome the state plurality given Wilson on the face of late returns. Figures compiled the progressive headquarters give Roosevelt a plural ity of approximately 21,000 in the entire county, while those compiled by election officials make Roosevelt's plurality nearly 6000 lower. Should late returns further reduce the present Wilson plurality It Is prob able the official count will be required In this county to determine the com plexion of California's electoral vote. Minnesota Swings to Roosevelt. St. Paul," Minn., Nov. 7. Minnesota apparently has swung from Wilson to Roosevelt and the colonel probably will carry the state by about 15,000. Roosevelt found his greatest strength in the rural districts. Governor Eberhart has been re elected by a plurality ranging from 30,000 to 40,000. The election of the entire republican state ticket is prac tically assured. Senator Knute Nelson Is leading all the republican state candidates. Re turns from about two-thirds of the precincts Indicate that his majority over Dan W. Lawler will be about 80,000. Ringdahl Is leading the dem ocratic ticket. It is not probable that President Taft's vote in Minnesota will greatly exceed 75,000. The canvass of votes is progressing is slowly. Hooper's Election Assured. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 7. Returns from over Tennessee today make ho change In the earlier Indications. Governor Hooper, republican, Is as sured of re-election by 5000 over Mc Millan, democrat. , Figures on fifty counties in the presidential rate give the following: Wilson 66,539; Taft 27,749; Roose velt 21.986. Over 20 of the remaining 46 counties are democratic. Wilson will carry the state by over 60,000, It Is believed.

With President Taft eliminated In South Dakota and only half the state heard from, Roosevelt this morning is lead ing Wilson by about 6000 votes. When the progressive-republican convention fight developed, Roosevelt already had won the state In the primaries and to adjust-the differences the elec tors agreed to support Taft In case the fight for the presidency was be tween Taft and Wilson. With the president out of the running the agree ment will not affect the electoral vote. The contest for governor between Byrne, republican, and Johnson, dem ocrat, still is undecided but a repub lican legislature appears to have been elected. ' Iowa Returns Still Incomplete. Boise, Idaho, Nov. 7. The presiden tial, vote In Idaho still was Incomplete this morning, although the republicans apparently have carried the state Governor Hawley has conceded his defeat by John M. Haines, republican for governor. The Result In Kansas. Topeka, Kans., Nov. 7. With re turns from 100 counties complete and the other five estlmuted, both demo cratic and republican state chairmen agree that Wilson will have from 15, 000 to 18,000 plurality over Roose velt and that Thompson, democrat, for senator, will have a plurality of 15,00 over Stubha, republican.

Senator Simmons and Mrs. Simmons were at headquarters yesterday read ing some of the hundreds of tele grams received by him. Mrs. Sim mons did not attempt to repress her enthusiasm and bubbled over on read ing the returns. -. The senator laughed and chatted with friend He said that the vote was what he expected, and he expressed his pleasure at the result. Governor Kitchin, though defeated worse than ho hud any Idea Would be the case, is philosophical, and takes his defeat like a game man. In con versation with friends he said that he had been led to expect better things. His managers and supporters were simply mistaken in their estimates, the governor said. That he knew there was little chance for him there, little doubt. Those close in his confidence expected Mr. Simmons to have a big lead, but they did count on a second .primary. Judge Clurk's AtlidmV. Judge Clark's friends are of course disappointed over his showing, but they realize that the judge was never really In the contest. It had been written that the senator and governor were to fight the thing to a finish, the people had made up their minds to this, and it was no reflection on Judge Clark that he failed to run well. In the minds of many people, It is de clared, was the feeling that there would be a vacancy on the supreme bench hard to fill .1f he retired. These were- the-chief-factors hr contributing to the result. . The state executive committee will meet here Thursday night, November 14, to receive the returns and declare the result. The various county com- mlttees are expected to meet today secretary to the president, a position and make tabulations of the vote in which every newspaperman in Wash thelr counties.

"I think my right course just now is to hear everybody and make no statements." This was the answer made by President-elect Woodrow Wilson today to a series, of requests for statements of his altitude on national and Interna-' tional questions. . ' lie was asked by various newspa pers about an extra session of con gress, Canadian reciprocity, interna tional relations, the Panama canal and a variety -of issues. In line with y his campaign argument that the pres- ideney should be conducted "through the common counsel of the country," be will now, so far us possible, as sume a receptive attitude rather than . one of pronouncing himself on issues before he takes office. The president-elect looked eagerly toward a big basket of mail filled to overturning. It appeared that he would continue his custom of open ing all mail himself. He likes to do it. "You know I can recognize type writers of some of my personal friends," he mused. "I don't know just how I do it. I guess I'll need a tonic to go through that pile though." Princeton, N. J., Nov. 7. Just be- ' cause Woodrow Wilson is the president-elect of the United States he does B..t, he asserts, inter.! L retire from the fight he has waged for two years for a program of progressive legisla tion in New Jersey. Mr. Wilson said today he would "stay on the job at Trenton" until he had carried out his reforms, but with -a democratic legislature behind him this is likely to be a smooth process when the lawmakers convene on Jan uary 1. Although campaigning vigorously for the presidency, Governor Wilson concentrated earnest appeals in New Jersey. Nothing gives him more sat- . isfactlon than the fact that not only is New Jersey to be represented by two democrats In the United States senate, but for the first time In his administration of the state both houses of the state legislature will be democratic. A year ago he stumped the Btate to obtain a democratic legis lature, but he was beaten. The president elect admitted today that tho program of reform he had in mind for the state would be advanced by the fact that us the future execu tive of tho country, nationwide atten tion probably will be attracted by his policy In the New Jersey legislature. "Whatever we do In New Jersey, -he said, "will have the force of tho whole country behind it," Program Not Mapped Out. The governor has not announced his program for the next session of the legislature, but it Is likely that as soon as he takes a brief vacation he will call a conference of state leaders and a program will be mapped out. The democratic state platform rec ommends a constitutional convention. It Is known that the governor wants to have the corporation laws of tho state revised. The reform In this connection, he declares, he had no op portunity of putting through because the legislature was not with him. When Governor Wilson resigns, In accordance with the state constitu tion the president of the state senate will become governor until the next regular election, due next fall. I James H. Fllder, senator from Hud I son county and democratic minority leader of the upper house, It is said, will be elevated to the presidency of that body und therefore may be Gov ernor Wilson's succeHsor.
