BosroN, March l4.-As special dispatch
from Concord, New Hampshire, says that
the election opened with one Of the
brightest Of March days. The fears Of
bad travel have disappeared, as the mud
and water froze solidly last night. A
large vote is now predicted. No result
can be reached till after midnight. Re.
ports from the various towns at noon in
dicated Republican gains. Littleton is
Democratic on the State and county
ticket. In Harrisville the Republicans
elected their representative by one
majority. In every town it is said that
evidences OF fraud on. both sides are
apparent, and challenging at the polls is
brisk. In Portsmouth some excitement
was caused by the Democrats challeng-
ing F. II. Kent, U. s. detective, but he
finally gained his point. Dover shows
Republican gains up to noon. South
Hampton elected the Democratic repre-
sentative by two majority.
CONCORD, n. H., March 14.-Little or
no excitement prevails. The vote up 10
noon has been unusually large and the
Republicans have made IN increase over
last year. They will doubtless gain be-
tween 100 and 200 over last years vote.
In the central wards, 4th, 9th, 9th and
7th, n count was made at noon which
gave on the State ticket $50 for Cheney,
the Republican candidate for Governor,
and $50 for Marcy, the Democratic can
didate.' Geo. @. Todd, the Republican
candidate for State Senator in District
No. 4, is running considerably ahead Of
his ticket in this city. Dispatches giving
the votes for Moderators in the various
towns are being received at the rooms Of
the State Committees OF each party, and
so far they have been generally
favorable to the Republicans. Among
the towns which were Democratic
last year, and which elected Republican
moderators this morning, are Newport,
Pittsfeld, Mortified and Harrisville.
The Democrats have received favorable
reports from Bedford, Hillsborough and
Austrian. The moderators' votes are not
by any means absolute tests, but they
show the tendencies Of the popular vote.
Both parties are confident.

publicans concede four Wards and the
city government to the Democrats, but
claim the election OF Mayor.

tion at indianapolis. The call is gigned

REPUBLICAN VICTORY CONCEDED.
BosToN, March IA Concord special
to the Post (Democrat) comedies Repub-
lican victory in New Hampshire, a ma
jority in both branches OF the Legislature
and the election Of Cheney by the people
by small majority, but as was the case
last year later returns may materially af-
feet the results. One hundred and sixty
six towns and wards give Cheney 27,739,
Marcy (Dem.) 1924, Kendall and scat
tering 254. The same towns last year
gave the Republicans 29,5s3, Democrats
25,963 and scattering All, Republican net
gain Of 2,llS.
CONCORD, March 14.-The Republicans
are confident that they have made clean
sweep and are very jubilant. There is
no doubt that they have elected majori-
ty Of the Senators and they claim ma
jOrily in the House OF fifteen. The Dem.
Ocrats do not concede that the House is
Republican. Z. H. Rollins, OF the Re-
publican State Committee, considers that
the Republicans have elected nine OF the
twelve Senators, and that they will have
a majority OF twenty in the House. He
thinks Cheney's majority will be at least
1900.
SUMMARY OF THE RETURNS.
A summary Of all the returns received
up to o'clock is as follows: 1893 towns
and wards give Cheney 3l,763, Marcy
2S,296, Kendall and scattering $40. The
same towns last year gave the Republic
cans 3S,393, Democrats 29,737, and Prohi-
bition and scattering sol; Republican
net gain 1852. A footing Of the Rep
resentatives at these towns is as follows:
1877 towns and wards elect 14S Republic
cans and l29 Democrats; last year the same
towns elected 149 Republicans and 100
Democrats, which shows 4 Democratic
net gain Of 8. The Republican majority
in the House last year was 112. There is
no doubt that Cheney is elected Governor
by the people, and the Republicans claim
that his majority will be as high as 1900
or 1000. They also claim the House by
from Is to 25 majority, but the exact fig
ures can only be determined by later re-
turns. The Democrats think the House
very close and in doubt.
The Republicans claim eight out Of
twelve Senator's. The Democrats claim
a majority 10 Council. The Republicans
have probably carried six out Of ten
counties. Last year the same counties
were five Republican and five Demo.
Gratis. With the exception Of the House,
the status Of which can only be deter
mined by further returns, and Ghe Coun.
Gil, which is doubtful, the Republicans
have made clean sweep.
