Following is the statement issued by Jordan concerning the situation: "Under the provisions of section 1313 of the political code. It Is the duty of the secretary of state to com pare and estimate the votes given for electors. Such comparison and esti mate Is to be made as soon as returns are received from all the counties In the state. . "In Marysville nfscinct No. S, twelve democratic electors are credit ed with ninety-six votes each, but the votes received by Loren A.

'If these mistakes are not correct ed. If these partial returns are to be accepted. If the will of the voters of these precincts are to be disregarded, even the vote of one elector, why can not other mistakes be permitted to occur In other counties and precincts and thus the will of the voters be thwarted and confusion result? "It is the duty of the democratic and republican state central commit tees to take immediate, steps to have these mistakes corrected even If the aid of the courts must be Invoked, otherwise the secretary of state may deem it his duty to withhold certifi cates of election to presidential elec tors In order that an" evil precedent may not be established."

Will Meet Today 'As Usual' and Prospects Are Be lieved Bright. STUMBLING BLOCK ATLANTIC CITY. N. JU Nov. With th announcement tonight that the Mexican-American Joint commis sion would meet .again tomorrow "as usual" th prospect waa believed to be fairly , bright for aa amicable agreement being reached for border control And protection of American live and property la the neighboring republic.- ......... -t It waa learned tonight, however, that th if extern representatives had not aa yet sent to their government a report of th presentation of th American proposals, which were de scribed as-representing th final at titude of th United States, it be came known tonight that th commis si oners hav considered a alight alter- atloa of th American proposal which. If agreed to, would make probalbl aa agreement. It wa pointed out that th suggested - alteration - would not Chang materlaly th real meaning. of 1 th program submitted to th Mexican' commissioners, but ' would save them th humiliatloa of aigalag a document In which there appeared th formal consent ofv tho Mexloaa government for th violation of Hj territory by troop of th United State. 1 - -' It wa explained that th rI tumbling block is th determination f th Americans not t have-any re striction placed on the American government should th occasion again arts for sending troops at' roes th ordr into Mexico after raiders. After, listening to four hours of oral arguments In the alternative mandamus hearing touching on the Tenth district congressional contest, Judge W. J. Adams yesterday after noon decided to reserve his decision. It is possible this may be announced for Congressman James J. Brltt will ask the court to issue a writ of mandamus compelling the Buncombe county board of canvassers to reconvene and "properly discharge its duties." By this Is meant a tabu lation of the congressional vote In the county from the returns before the board on November 9, which gave Congressman-elect Zebulon Weaver a majority In the' countyof 288 and not 810 as certified to by the board at a later meeting, where "amended and supplemental" returns were consld ered. The tabulation of the figures before the board on November 9 would unseat Congressman-elect Weaver and elect Congressman James J. Brltt. Judge Adams did not yesterday In dicate the exact scope his decision would cover, only stating that' the question discussed should be Confined to the action of the canvassing board and to the law In -the case. The "amended and supplemental returns" from a certain five precincts enter very materially Into the case, as it was upon these "amended and sup plemental returns'' that the majority of 210 In the county was certified to at the later meeting of the board. It Is not known that Judge Adams will consider these returns In his decision. He will not consider any allegations of fraud. Counter-Affidavits- The affidavit offered by Mr. Brltt's counsel charging that Chairman B. L. Lyda had failed to sign the abstract of election, waa denied yesterday in an affidavit submitted by the chair man of the canvassing board. This is one of several instances where the af fidavits directly contradict one an other. The arguments of the opposing counsel touched on every aspect of the celebrated case, and at times these arguments became somewhat heated. Many fine points of law were raised and Judge Adams' significant refer enca to "legal return" -- the Poll holders to the canvassing board epens up a new vista of possibilities. Back of all there yet loom the "legal bal lot" problem, . incidentally . touohed upon by the attorneys In their argu ments yesterday. There were- frequent Interruptions through the hearing by Judge Adams, who time after time asked counsel to adhere to the questions that were of interest to him and which were con cerned with the phases of the case over which he exercises jurisdiction. Judge Adams stated that he had no interest In alleged Illegal voting con trary to, or In accordance with the election laws of the state of North Carolina, but that he waa only Inter ested In the action of the board. He said at the opening of the session: "I am not Interested in the .question of fraud or what took place with th ballot boxes. That Is for congress to decide if that is contested. I am not going in to all these collateral ques tions." The main angle which was finally presented w- the question, as Judge Adams put It, of "going behind the election returns." The members of counsel for Mr. Brltt strongly em phasised the delay as they termed It and th many adjournments. They ' challenged the reason for these ad journments given by the board, viz., that all the returns were not in on November 9, that the returns from two prcelncts were not received by the board until November 10 and the returns of one more precinct until November 16.. Mr. Brltt Talks. Mr. Brltt's attorneys said that the board did not act In accordance with the statutes, that it overstepped its rights under the law and requested the court issue a mandamus, com manding the board to reconvene and recertify the election returns, under the law, which in effect would declare the election of Mr. Brltt. The at torneys for the board followed their case along the lines that the returns were not made on November 9 and were not certified until amended and supplemental returns had been re ceived. Judge Adams closely ques tioned the attorneys on this question of "supplemental returns"' and asked when the original and supplemental returns were received and what ac tion was taken with the original and with the supplemental returns. The session opened at 10 o'clock when affidavits were presented by Mr. Brltt's counsel. These two affidavits, made by Theodore D. Shelton and Amos Foy, were to the effect that they saw an abstract of the tabulated returns in the office of registrar of deeds and that this abstract had been signed by twenty-three members of the canvassing board, but not by Chairman B. L. Lyda. In answer to these affidavits, an affidavit mad by B. L. Lyda was read In which the chairman of the board swore that It waa hot true that he refused to sign the returns but that he signed them all together with the other members of the board and delivered them to the registrar, also mailing them him self to the secretary of state, In th presence of E. D. Roberts, who was with him at the time. The Unmarked Ballot. Mr. Brltt, the first speaker, dwelt mainly on the election law of tha state, speaking of the unmarked ballot controversy and stressing the fact thfit the election law was made by the ma jority in the state and by the varty to which Mr. Weaver belonged. 'The so-called 'amended and supplementary' returns," said Mr. Britt, "consisted of the first return from a precinct with added returns of unmarked ballots for Mr. Weaver, raising Mr. Weaver's ma jority in each instance. These 'amend' ed and supplementary' return were not signed by the third members of th local boards. Not In a single In stance did the members of the can vasslag board seek to get returns that would benefit me. I was never heard in spite- of, the solemn pledge of the board through Its chairman to give The other side a hearing. A part of the stenographic report sworn to by Mrs. C. 6. Williams, tho court stenographer, was admitted on motion of Mr. Brltt's counsel, this pa per being a statement mads by Magis trate Lyaa, in which he said that there were some things to be looked Into, that Mr. Britt should be treated as one of the board's own party and tnat n snouia be given a squar deal. Judge Adams outlined several ques tions which he asked the attorneys to argue upon. He said: "What I want to know la whether the registrar and judges of election In- each of th local precincts made legal returns to the board of canvasser at their regular meeting. If they did, a question of Wouldnft Life Be a Dream? miSISS' 3 fto Hunt all sou J W ISriC fitTT PLACE N HOSPITAL SHIP: IS TORPEDO'S VICTIM: CARRIED WOUNDED "TAKETHE PROFITS OUT OF WAR AND THERE WILL BE NO MORE WARS" HENRY FORD, RESTING IN ASHEVILLE, STATES Famous Automobile Man and Pacifist, at Grove Park Inn, Declares That the Election of President Wilson Was One of the Most Important Events That Ever Took Place on EarA r Believes That $75,000,000 Was Spent In Effort to Beat Him. t CONTINUED ON PAQB TWO.) HIS CONGRATULATIONS TO Says Closeness of Vote Has ' Caused Elm to Await Official Count. PRESIDENT WILSON JACK LONDON CLAIMED BY DEATH AT HIS RANCH AfTEH AJHDHT ILLNESS Famous Writer Succumbs to an Attack of Uraemio Poisoning. "Take the profits out of war," said Henry Ford, raultl-mllllonalre and famous pacifist, at Grove Park inn, yesterday, "and there will be no moge wars. Desire for profit, commercial greed, are the dlreot causes for the great war. where the people are be ing exploited for the benefit of the interests, as they have been here .be fore the election of Woodrow WUaon and struck a 111410 girl with the club. Let us cut through here." The party "cut through her" and the clear note of a bird arrested his attention. "That must be a red cardinal," . he insisted. Penetrating the thicket the red cardinal wa dls- . . - 1 A I 1. I V m we hav them Jn plenty In Detroit.

"Could you be induced to build a horn in AshevllleT" Mr. Ford was asked. "Not while this hotel stands," was th reply. "I have never been In a finer or mora attractive place." Th man whose plant is now turn ing out a million and a half dollars' worth of automobiles every twenty four hours, breakfasted very simply at 10 o'clock. A few minutes later and he had started on his cross country tramp to town. The hills were covered with a has C mystery and th sun was genial and inviting in it warmth. "A wondorfull'- beautiful country," said he, looking at the golf links In front of him. Beyond was the olty, and in th distance the great moun tain whose solace and charm have al ready taken strong hold on th mind and imagination of the greatest motor car manufacturer in the world. Universal Interest. Mr. Ford has, and manifest, an al most, universal Interest in th things around him. He disapproves of the shell carved on the top of General Cllngman a monument in front of the i court house, and while crossing the golf links I do not play golf, I tried to once, recover breath, "will plow a bank Ilk that. It will cost less than $800. and It will be mine, and my son' personal property. I expect to place th trac tors on the market this summer, In limited quantities." "How Jong will th war last. Mr. Ford?" "No man knows," was the rather sadly spoken reply. "There may be no conclusive ending. But I am sure we 'have re-elected a man who will do all that is possible to keep us out of th conflict. The Interests, the special In terest In this country, desire war but the re-election of th president has marked the dawn of a- new day for this country. The people have been exploited in th past for th benefit of thee Interests, but I do not think they will be In th future. These same Interest would have our troops In Mexico, but I do not think they will be sent there. I trust the experiences of Europe may be spared our people. The weight of numbers Is on the elds of the allies, but th German hav efficiency with them. While I con sider the Germans th most efficient nation in th world I hav a Ford plant In England, built there to help the "English.. There Is also another plant being built In Canada." Cabinet Changes. "Do you believe President Wilson will make changes In his present cabi net T" "I presume so. Personally, I am an admirer of the ecreta' of the navy, although I do not approve of the naval building program. Em ciency," and he stopped short in his tracks to emphasise hi statement. "efficiency will some day take th place of these ships of war and great standing armies. I believe that Ameri can efficiency will result In th Inven tion of devices which will make war quit impossible." ,. "Will business In this country re main good after the war, Mr. Fordt" "There 1 absolutely no reason why it snouiq not., president wueon has been re-elected without th aid of New fork or Wall street, much to their surprise and consternation, and President Wilson has mad It Impos sible for New- York or Wall street to cause a panic In the future. The country Is tremendously prosperous and In my judgment will continue to be so, even after the conclusion of the war." A Ford truck passed, loaded to Its capacity. 'That's one Of the latest models," said the designer of the car known th universe over- "I suppose that one of the very earliest models, of the Ford could be taken In the plant and In an hour made almost as good aa new. But few changes have been made In Its design since I first started making them, nine year ago. I own many different car, myself, but I drive a Ford I have owned for four years, now. But we are con stantly trying to make them more and more simple, with fewer and fewer parts. I think we are succeeding." "Why do you pay the women In your plants the same wages as th men. and why did you not begin pay ing them the same wage earlier 1" he waa asked; Matrimony and Wage. ' ' "Because they are worth It and be cause of matrimony," waa th smiling reply. "We had undsr consideration an equal minimum wage for both man and women for a Icr.g time before we put that minimum wag Into af fect W were afraid that to pay women 15 a day would ston them from marrying and from ' assuming the responsibilities of married life.
