New: York, Nov. 8. Swept before
a rising tide of Democratic victories
in maqy states, the tremendous Repub
lican majorities piled up in the Hard
ing landslide of two years ago were
knocked right and left in yesterday's
elections. .
The Republican majorities in the
United States senate and in the house
of representatives were sharply re
duced, but Republicans refused to con
cede that they had lost control.
At noon eastern time today 25 states
had completed their congressional elec
tion returns, but neither Republicans
nor Democrats had progressed much
further toward control of the house.

Not a single Republican gain in the
house of representatives had appeared
today to count against the inroads the
Democrats apparently mnde in every
state.
Various causes ranging from prohi-.

forward to count for the result.

celebrated prohibition enforcement
