Up to e'.even o'clock this morning
Hughes was maintaining a lead in
Minnnesota of more than 800, with
490 precinots missing.
IN NEW MEXICO
Hughes maintains a scant lead in
New Mexico with slightly more than
half the returns received.. The miss
ing precincts are outlying districts
from which the returns must come j
in late. '
'
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
New Hampshire is'still exceeding
ly doubtful. A few votes either way
