In the face of the returns up to 10 o'clock indicating the election of Charles E.

The President, sur rounded by the members of his im mediate family, received the returns in his study at Shadow Lawn. As cont nued discouraging news came to the executive offices, disap-. pointment was generally expressed, but the President himself remained cheerful. No effort was made to con ceal the fact that the outlook was not bright. Returns from western States, however, were eagerly awaited. Out in the seclusion of Shadow Lawn, the President was amid quiet, bnt"the executive offices -at Asbury Park . were surrounded by . excited crowds. As the late reports came to the ex ecutive offices by telephone and tele graph and from .. local Democratic leaders in various states, the hopes of the President and those about him began to rise.

'7. Just before midnight tbe election returns ' still incomplete in many States, indicated the election of Hughes' and : Fair banks, but the figures were very close, and the Democratic managers steadfastly refused to eoncede the Republican victory. Although the metropolitan papers, which hsve supported President .Wil son, conceded his defeat, the Demo cratic managers insisted that . com plete returns from the west would reverse the trend which steadily seemed to be piling up on the Hughes eolumn. . ' -. ; , "Remember 1892," was the rre-' diction of the Democratic publicity bureau, which pointed out that in the memorable contest the next day's re vised returns placed Grover Cleve land in the White House.

That was 12 less than the 268 necessary to an election. . But the statement appended added that advices had been received from enough states to make the necessary 26fi. This was the first official indica tion from the Republicans that the result would be so close. The Republican managers realize that 'a sudden chansre in the states in complete or unheard from might in crease the Wilson figures, but were sure the later figures would add to tbe states they were claiming.
