Hughes is Silent.

New York, Nov. 9.—Word that California had been carried by Wilson on the face of nearly complete unofficial returns was carried to Mr. Hughes shortly before he retired tonight. He declined to comment on the situation. After communicating with national headquarters, members of Mr. Hughes’ staff said that the question of a recount would be considered tomorrow.
