The United States senate probably •will have a reduced Republican ma jority as a result of legislative elec tions held in many states. In New York. John A. Dix.

B.—Democrats have gained forty seats in the national house of representatives, assuring them not only control, but also a sub stantial majority. Tho Democratic gross gain, how ever, is reduced to a net gain of thirty-seven by three Republican gains. In order to gain control of the house It was necessary for the Democrats to elect twenty-four new members. As- Ruining that the party will retain Its representation in states not yet heard from, it la appaient that the Di mo crats have thirteen members in excess of the necessary twenty-four to give them control.

OHIO RETURNS SHOW HARMON'S PLURALITY IS INCREASED Gain in Cleveland Makes Up for Loss in Governor's Home CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. B.—Judsnn Harmon, Democrat, was re-elected gov ernor of Ohio today by a largely in creased plurality, according to returns from about 250 precincts of the 4526 in the state. Even approximate figures are still in doubt, owing to a consid erable switch in various districts of the state. In 156 precincts in Cleveland Harmon shows a gain of fourteen votes to a precinct, partly overbalancing the Re publican sain of thirty to a precinct In Cincinnati, his home city. The complexion of the legislature is in doubt, but indications are it will be close, ftural districts are showing large Democratic gains. LONGWORTH TRIUMPHS CINCINNATI, Nov.

NEW JERSEY WGODRQW WILSON WINS BY PLURALITY OF 20,000 Figures Show Great Loss in Re publican Strongholds and In dicate Democrat Success TRENTON, N. J., Nov. B.—Figures obtainable at 10 o'clock indicated the election of Woodrow Wilson, Demo crat, for governor, the only state office to be filled, by between 15,000 and 20,000 plurality over Vivian M. Lewis, Re publican. Most of the early returns were from Republican strongholds. Returns from 145 out of the 1393 districts in New Jer sey, a trifle more than one-tenth, give Lewis 19,107; Wilson, 18,157. The same district in 1908 gave Taft 26,785; Bryan, 16,464. These figures indicate a net gain of 71 to the district for Wilson on the. basis of the 1908 vote, and would indi cate his election by 15,000. Complete returns from the forty-four districts where voting machines were used give Lewis a plurality of 2615, while the same districts gave Governor Fort three years ago a plurality of 5635. This is a net loss of 68 to the district for Lewis and at the same ratio, if continued, would easily in sure Wilson's election. Early votes for members of the legis lature and for congress were too meager to give an indication of the outcome. In the First district the re election* of Representative Loudens lager by a small plurality was indi cated. The political completion of the legis lature, Which will choose a successor to Senator John Kean, was in doubt. NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATS WIN NEWARK, Nov. 8.- he Democratic state headquarters here :it 10:30 i>. in. issued a statement claiming the elec tion of Democrats In eight of the ten congressional districts. The re-elec tion of Representative Loudonslager in the ] ■ -at and Gardner in the Sec ond, both Republicans, was conceded.

NEW YORK STIMSON SAYS LANDSLIDE IS ONLY THE BEGINNING Republican Candidate Blames New Movement for Defeat NEW YORK, Nov. B.—Henry L. Stlmson attributes his defeat to causes nation-wide, and a general movement of the Republican party toward pro gressiveness. "There seemed to be a ground swell all over the country." he said tonight, "and I was caught in it. I think it is only the beginning. We're begin ning to have a realignment of politi cal parties, and the Republican party is going through the agony of be coming progressive. "The returns speak for themselves.
