WILSON MEANT TO STEP DOWN, ASSERTSHOUSE Thought He Had Lost 1916 Race, Planned Hughes’ Entry to Office. By United Press MANCHESTER - BY - THE - SEA, Mass., June s.—Colonel Edward M. House today partly confirmed pub- | lished reports quoting him as saying that on the election night of November, 1916, Woodrow Wilsonbelieving he was defeated for reelection, laid plans for immediate retirement from the presidency.

Published reports of Colonel House’s story said that on the night in question he was with Wilson at the White House. Actually, Colonel House said, he was in New York that night and Wilson was in New Jersey. Colonel House said that with western returns missing, the President nevertheless decided that he had been defeated by the Republican candidate, Charles Evans Hughes, and made plans to retire and allow Hughes to assume office immediately. According to Colonel House, Wilson’s plan was as follows: Vice- , President Marshall would resign, i Secretary of State Lansing would be removed from office. Hughes would be appointed as Lansing’s successor. Wilson would resign. With vacancies existing in both the Presidency and Vice-Presidency, j Hughes as secretary of state auto--1 matically would become President at once. Subsequent returns from the west revealed that Wilson had been reelected. HIGHER EDUCATION IS NEW ‘BIG BUSINESS’ Statistics Cited to Show Educational Schools Most Popular of All.
