Boston, April 1.-THE vote to-day re-
suited as follows: Dawes, 6S; Hoar, 54;
Curtis, 63; Adams, IA Bullock, Is,
Banks, 6 Washburn, 4 Sanford, Z; Ed
ward Learned, of Ftchburg, 3; Whittier
and R. c. Pittman, / each. Total, 236.
Necessary to choice, lie. The votes Of
Learned, who is Dawes chief supporter,
were sportively cast, and mean nothing.
The spirit shown by MIR. Dawes support
ers in establishing headquarters, and VOW
ing that they will never vote for anybody
else, is having its effect. Mr.. Hoar' s
friends are not actuated by such spirit,
and they recognize the necessity Of bringing
this contest to an end. Many of those who
have not heretofore been favorably dispos-
ed towards Adams now show another mind,
and it would not be surprising if another
effort was made on Monday to give him a
| large vote. Possibly there will be no es-
sential change before Tuesday, as there
will be a thin house Monday. If it should
happen at any time that Adams, support
ed by Republicans, comes out of a ballot
in the position of principal opponent of
| Dawes, his election is almost certain. 1t
is considered safe to count on forty Demo
Gratis, and probably there would be fifty
votes for him, and it is believed that TWEEN
ty or twenty-five of those who have voted
for Dawes, and who will not vote for Hoar,
will vote for Adams Of Hoar's men, all
but fifteen or twenty vote for Adams in
preference to Dawes perhaps all but five
or six would. Unless there is sharp re-
vulsion between now and Tuesday it is
probable the contest will end that dav, anC
it is not probable Mr.. Dawes will be the
Senator chosen.
