NEW YORK. Nov. 9.--If the

"t of the incomplete returns
of 'lutsday's balloting are ac-
cepted as final in all but five
states, at noon today. the elector-
al vote would give President Wil-
son 25: and Mr. Hughes\243.

The five doubtful states with
their electoral votes are:

California. 13; Minnesota. to;
New Mexico. 3: North Dakota.
5; New Hampshire, 4.

The sudden switch of New
Hampshire from a small Hughes
plurality. m 92 votes for President
Wilson was the dramatic change
in the situation this forenoon_ It
came in an announcement from
the secretary of state that a par-
tial official count of all the dis-
tricts disclosed errors in tabula-
tion by the town and ward clerks
to that extent. The official count
is still progressing.

ln‘Minnesota and New Mexico"

the incomplete returns show Mr.
Hughes to have the lead. while in

Cailfornia and North Dakota Mr.

Wilson is leading.

The returns from the doubtful
western states are not expected
to be available before a late hOur
