NEW YORK, Nov. 10. Wood row Wilson was elected president of troj United States when California swung definitely into the Democratic column early today. - , The only states where the result remained in question today were Minnesota, New Hampshire and New Mexico, with 19 electoral, votes. 'Unless there is a decided over turn in the districts missing, Wilson will carry New Mexico. Hughes is leading in Minnesota. The result will not be known in New Hampshire until the official count is completed. West Virginia, which classed as doubtful until late last night, has gone definitely for Hughes. - Wins in New Mexico.

Unless th vote of California is divided, which now seems a possibility, Mr. Wilson is assured of 269 votes in the electoral college, three more than a majority, and Mr. Hughes of 243. The president could lose three votes from California and still have enough to elect. This loss would be offset by New Mexico which it seems certain he has carried. If Mr. Hughes carried both Minnesota with 12 votes and New Hampshire with four, he would have only 259, seven less than enough to elect Mr. Wilson could lose New Mexico and three votes from California and stili win. The result in Minnesota may be determined by the ballots of the 2,138 national guardsmen now on the Mexican border, which will not be counted nntil the state canvassing board meets next Tuesday. Returns received early today in the state gave Hughes a lead of slightly over 700 votes.
