Latest Returns From the Elec-
ton.
Only Five Towns t. be Heard
From.
No Election of Governor by the
People.
The Council Republican, but the
Senate i'm Doubt.
Two Democratic Congressman
Elected.

CONCORD, n. H., March 10.-Latc le-
turns seem to have changed the face Of the
election somewhat. The returns of the
Congressional districts are meagTe and in
sufficient to indicate results positively.
The Republicans claim to have elected
Pike in the Second, and Blair in the Third.
and think Jones, Democratic candidate in
the First District, is defeated. On the
other hand, the Democrats claim to have
elected Jones in the First, Bell in the
Second, and think la'er returns may show
the election of Kent in the Third District.
The Second and Third Districts seem
doubtful, with the chances somewhat in
favor Of Jones in the Fins. District. The
Republicans claim TO have elected the GOt-
ernOT, but the latest returns have reduced
the gains so that no election by the people
seems not improbable. The Legislature
will be very close. Thiry-one towns in
the Second Congressional District give
Pike (Rep.) 4,s11, Bell Dem 5,034,
Fletcher 80. Forty-fye towns in the Third
District give Blair (Rep) 7,472, Kent
(Dem.) f,O29, scattering SO. Fifty-nine
towns in the First District give White
house (Rep.) 9,993, Jones (Dem.) 10,023,
scattering 1914. The whole lumber Of
LOmA Aio III tic uloLIlCL Is Cls
SECOND DISPATCH.
Returns from 232 towns and wards give
Cheney (Rep.) 37,012, Roberts (Dem.)
36,O96, White and scattering 624. The
net Republican gain over asst years vote is
2,S69. The remaining owns last year
gave a Democratic majority of 100. This
indicates that Cheney and Roberts will
run with about an even vote, the scatter
ing votes defeating the election Of either by
the people.
Both parties claim a majority of the
Senatorial districts. The Democrats
claim the House by fifteen to twenty, while
the Republicans also claim thirteen major
ity in the same body.
In the First Congressional District, the
election of Jones (Dem.) is conceded by
both parties. Blair is elected over Kent
(Dem.) in the Third District, while the
Second District is still il doubt and con-
tidently claimed Dy both parties.
The Monitor, Republican newspaper,
claims that Hon. A. F. Pike and Hon. H.
w. Blair, of Plymouth, both Republicans,
are elected TO Congress; that the Republi-
cans have a good working majority in the
House of Representatives and that Republi-
cans have elected six of the twelve Senators,
with several districts in doubt.
The Patriot, Democratic, says there is
no election of Governor by the people;
that the Republicans have five Senators
and the Democrats five, with two districts
in doubt, and that the Democrats have a
majority in the House. The Patriot also
claims the election of Jones and Bell, Dem
Ocrats, to Congress, with the Third Dis
trict in doubt.
The People, Democratic, also claims
substantial victory for its party, with eXcep-
tion Of the Third District, which it cOnsid-
ers doubtful.
CONCORD, March 10--Returns from all
but eight towns have been received;
259 towns and warls give Cheney,
Rep, 3S,7Tl; Roberts, DEM, 3S,-
6SS; White, Temp, ami scattering, 6TS.
The same towns last yesr gave McCuthins,
Rep, 3S, $50; Weston, Dem g, POS; Black
man, Temp, and scattering, 2,07T; Repub-
publican net gain 2,S47. Cheney's mi
nOrity is 6S. Five towns vet to
be heard from gave last year
McCutchens, Rep, PSI; Weston, Dem, 8l3;
scattering Z. Adding last years vote in
these towns makes the Republican gain p
rs, and Cheney's minority 634 FOOtings
from the First Congressional District elect
Jones, Dem, by 472; plurality 81; Bell,
Dem, in the Second District by
154 plurality, and Blair, Rep, in
the Third District by % plurality.
The Republicans have a majority in
the House, but the exact figures cannot be
given. The Senate stands five Republicans,
and five Democrats with no choice ia
two districts. There is no election of Gov
ernor by the people, and the duty of selec-
ton will devolve upon the Legislature,
which will doubtless elect Cheney, Repub-
lican candidate. The Democrats claim a
majority IN the Council, though the dis
triCts have not been figured sufficiently to
determine finally. The vote in the State
yesterday is said to have BEEN the largest
ever pOlled.
