Ships Far Outsat Sea Furnished Returns by the Norfolk Navy Yard Station.' USED FIRST TIME IN HISTORY The Air Surcharged With Electric , Waves Spreading Njews of Depocratlc Victory. . Norfolk, Nov. 6.-7-For the first time in history wireless telegraph was used to transmit news of the Presidential election over the seas. From early evening until long after midnight the raie was surcharged with electric waves spreading the news of x Democratic victory to the four 'winds. The stanon at the Norfolk navy yard was in constant communication with ships at sea and the queries ''flew thick and fast. "Give us New York's vote." "Give us Indiana's vote." "How is Wilson running in the West." These and hundreds of others were Hashed from the big battleships far out at sea, and were answered with as much dispatch as possible. Communication bewteen land and as -far distant, as 500 '.o 1,000 miles was established. Not Only were ships of the navy, picking up these mes sages, but the big liners occasionally broke in on the "air" and made re quests for information, which was cheerfully given. Never before has suchinterest been manifested in political elections in the world, for on land' and sea and on both sides of the ocean the enthusi asm was intense. Thus wireless comes in for another triumph. Passengers on the Old Bay Line last night were in as close touch with the general trend of national election returns, as were the throngs whch watched the newspaper bulletins. As soon as the ballots were counted, in the' thousands of cities and the States, districts and counties, they were flashed to the. ships by wireless. Enthusiasm On board ship reigned almost as high as it did on land, and more than once cheers broke forth as added results made chariges in the total. LAID TO REST. Funeral of Dr. Francis Duffy Con ducted Yesterday Afternoon. The last rites over the remains of the late Dr. Francis Duffy took place yester dayafternoon at 4 o'clock from the First' Baptist church of which he had Inogbeen a valued member. The services were conducted by Rev.' Dr. E. T. Carter, the pastor . The building was crowded' with the many friends and acquaintances of the departed phy sician and on the .facts of all-was written the grief that was felt at the passing of one loved and respected to an unusually high degree. .'.t1' 't- t- . rrom. tne . enure n ine procession moved slowly to Cedar Grove cemetery where the body was laid to rest under a v mound covered with beautiful floral offerings.

Late Returns In the Senatorial Primary Show Estimates f Were Very Accurate. EXACT MAJORITY WAS 24,094 Buncombe the Banner Simmons County Giving Him a Ma- jorlty of 1600. Raleigh, N6v. 6. Fairly complete returns on the Senatorial primary in which the Democrats expressed their choice as between Senator Simmons, Governor Kitchin and Chief Justice Walter Clark, serve to show that Sena tor Simmons was right Tuesday night whenhe claimed the nomination by a majority of 25,000. The exact figures when finally computed will show that to have been aa exceedingly accurate estimate Fn view of the fact that the returns at that time were necessarily incomplete. With a large proportion of the precincts heard from at this hour this majority is 24,054. Since early yesterday afternoon when the returns indicated clearly that things were coming his way, telegrams of con gratulation have been pouring in on hint: His friends are jubilant over his splendid victory and insist that it is a remarkable testimonial to the con fidence which the electorate of the State reposes in him. Mrs. Simmons was in Raleigh with hini and joined with hinr in receiving many of the felicitations with which he has been overwhelmed. Craig's estimated majority in the State over the combined vote of Iredell Meares and Thomas Settle, the Pro gressive and Republican candidates, is from fifty to sixty thousand. Meares leads Settle substantially. Asheville, No- "b. Elated over the success in the election yesterday of Hon. Locke Craig, Democratic candi date for Governor, and Senator F. M. Simmons, candidate for re-election to the United States Senate, the Demo cratic voters of this city are planning for a big demonstration on next Tues day night. There will be a torch light parade followed by addresses by pro minent men and a reception at one of the local clubs. Buncombe county gave Senator Sim mons the largest majority he received anywhere in the State the vote for him being 1,600 larger than the com bined vote of Clark and Kitchin. PUTTING THE, BLIND TIGERS OUT OF BUSINESS. Sheriff A. H. Stephens of Pamlico county, who was in the city yesterday, says that the activjty of the North Carolina Anti-Saloon League com bined with that of the locaTauthorities in breaking up the liquor traffic in that county recently has had a decidedly good effect.
