10 (3:30 p. m.j Returns from several Republican districts and revised returns from many counties today reduced the lead of Frederick D. Gardner, Democratic candidate for Governor of Missouri to 2,215. With 101 precincts to be heard from, Gardner has 372,179 to 369,964 for Lamm. It js probable the total vote in the outstanding precincts will, rjot exceed 7,000.

Unless there should develop large errors in the returns, it is not probable that Lamm can overcome Gardner's lead below Gardner Leads by 2,300. At 4:30 o'clock today the Kansas City Star told the MIssourlan that Gardner was leading Lamm by 2,500 rotes, with 80 precincts yet to be heard from. What Post-Dispatch Says.

10. Slashing, unprecedented gains by Judge Lamm in outstanding precincts in Missouri late last night threw the Missouri gubernatorial contest, which early yesterday was generally conceded to Gardner, Into uncertainty once again. Lamm is now so close that it will take an official count to determine the election. The fight for Governor is the closest in the history of the state. Democratic headquarters reduced their claims of yesterday, saying that Gardner would win by from 2,000 to It is expected that there will be a sensational development In the election The St Louis vote will be contested on the charge of fraud and Intimidation.

Republicans claim that 000 negroes were driven away from the polls through intimidation by St Lonis police. Judge Hukriede would not admit a contest -but it Is known that the Republican city committee have such a move in prospect Lamm's race in the country districts continued to upset every calculation.

E. Boggs, a Boone County Democrat and member of the state committee, who helped engineer the re-election of President Wilson. "We will probably give a prize to the township sending the largest delegation to the celebration," said Mr.

Boggs today. "We want them all. Republicans as well as Democrats, and we think they will come. We expect a thousand University students to be In the parade." "There will be no banquet, except a few small ones In different rooms," and here a bystander winked an eye. Mr.

Boggs told of a Republican who on Tuesday night collected money for a Republican banquet on the strength of Tuesday night's returns. "Of course he had to return the money," said Mr. Boggs. EXPLAINS CALIFORNIA SPLIT Two Roosevelt Electors Scratched Four Tears Ago. Because of many Inquiries regard ing the cause of divided electoral vote In the election of 1912 and the likelihood of a similar situation this year, the MIssourlan this morning obtained from Dean Isldor Loeb a statement as to how the split came about.

"The largest vote received by a Wilson elector in California In 1912 was 283,436," said Dean Loeb, "while the largest vote for a Roosevelt elector was 283,610." "Had every Republican voter cast his ballot for all the electoral candidates of his party, Roosevelt would have received the entire electoral vote of the state but enough voters, because of the personal unpopularity of the electors, or through Ignorance, scratched the names of Republican candidates to elect two Democratic electors. "Every state constitution at present provides for the election of all electors on the general state ticket, but In 1890 the Democrats carried Michigan, and, fearing that they could not carry the state in the Presidential election of 1892, passed a law providing that the presidential electors be chosen by congressional districts. By this means the Democrats elected five of the fourteen electors; but the Republicans soon got control of the state and changed the law. "Maryland split her electoral vote in 1904, Roosevelt getting one vote and Parker seven. One Roosevelt elector through personal popularity received 109,497 votes, while the largest number received by any Parker elector was 109,446." Dean Loeb says It is possible that In this year's election all the Republican electoral candidates In Missouri did not receive the same -number of votes.

A few days before election one of -the Republican nominees committed suicide. The man appointed on the ticket to -fill his place wap an officer of the German-American Alliance, and Dean Loeb says a number of Republicans claim they voted against him on that account NIECE OF DR.

"The Minnesota militia is yet to be heard from and the soldiers' vote in general is two to one for Wilson. In dications are that Wilson will carry the state. BT PERRY ARNOLD (United Press Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Nov. 10. Woodro'w Wilson has been elected President without the of the heretofore supposedly indispensable states of New York, Indiana, and Illinois.

He has seemingly won without aid from three Democratic leaders, whose domination is popularly known as "boss-ism." They are C. S. Murphy, of Tammany Hall; Tom Taggart, of Indiana; and Roger Sullivan, ot Illinois. Only one other President, a Reputf-1" been elected 'without the votes of New York. That was when Hayes defeated Tilden.

This is the closest parallel in American history. Politicians all over the country will await with interest the administration's treatment of the New York city. Illinois state, and Indiana state or ganizations. The concensus of ooln- lon this afternoon was that there will be "lean years" ahe'adfor 'ill three, so far as federal patronage and recognition from the administration is concerned. Of scarcely less Importance today than the discussion "of Hughes' defeat even though he carried New York, In diana, and Illinois, is what happened in California.

It was agreed that Hughes must have suffered a tremendous cut since Hiram Johnson, Republican candidate for the Senate and idol of the Bull Moosers, ran nearly 300,000 ahead. Apparently the Progressives threw most of their strength to Wilson. Now that the election is over, a summary of conditions found in California by the writer who accompanied Mr. Hughes on his trip into that state, will be interesting. They play poli tics very seriously there.

Up unul this summer there was bitter warfare between the regulars of the old school and the Progressives. Then came the (Continued to Page Six) i.
