PHILADELPHIA, October 1.-THE
Press has reported maiorities fro m
| thirty eight counties in Pennsylvania,
showing a Republican majority of
| 1924. 1t claims thata full count
will in crease it to $4,000. In the
Representative Districts both Repub-
lican State Senators and twelve As
semblymen out Of eighteen are
elected. The estimate for the State
is that thirty four Democrats and
fifty-seyen Republicans were elected,
leaving nine others doubtful. The
Democrats carry the Third Con-
gressional District by 15I majority,
and probably the Fifth District by
similar small maj0rities.
In the city wards Taylor ,(Repubii-
can) has 26S majority, but this will be
oyerbalanced by Bucks County,
which gave CSC Democratic majority,
last year. Both these Districts will
be contested. These are believed to
be the only Republican losses In the
Congressional delegation.
