Special to the World.
Official returns from iifty-three counties
received at Democratic headquarters show
net Democratic gain Of 4, 4J6. Unofficial
estimates in the remaining counties add to
| this 300 and make a total Democratic
gain Of5, 75G. There is still some confusion
as to the head of the ticket, owing to the
Republican method of substituting sup
RENE judge, but the World correspondent
has carefully compiled all the returns actu-
ally received at the capital by both commit
tees, by the associated press, and in special
and private dispatches, and these show
net Democratic gain Oh secretary Of state
over Fosters majority Of last year of 5, 1928.
The Republican claim Of 1000 or $4,000
majority is false, and it was sent out with
a full knowledge ofits falsity and to break
| the force of the actual losses of the Re-
publican party. The figures at the Re-
publican headquarters show it to be false.
Dispatches in the Western papers this
morning stating that leading Eastern Re-
publcans and members Of the Union
League had declared that presidential elcc.
| tiOns were a standing menace to the busi-
ness prosperity and stability of the coun-
try have alarmed the Republican leaders
here, rs the wOrkingmen and others who,
| from choice OF compulsiOn of employers,
voted the Republican ticket yesterday in
terpret it rs a declaration against the cleo
tion franchise and elective government,
and stampede to the Democracy is threat
ened. Such 4 movement would wrest it
from tho Republicans, and yesterdays re-
| suits would be no index to the future.
Senators Thurman and Pendleton and all
the leading Democrats in the States have
the fullest confidence in the election of
Hancock and are fully impressed with the
November, make hopeful if not Win
New Jersey, Connecticut, Maine, and two
If not thrce-of the Pacific States, with
an equal chance in Wisconsin, Illinois,
Pennsylvania and New Hampshire.
West Virginia.
Reports from West Virginia arc coming
| in slowly. The indications are that the
| Republicans have reduced the Democratic
maiorities in 4 number Of counties but the
Democratic majority will not fall much
below 5000 if any. The Republicans de-
pended upon 4 much larger Greenback
vote being cast than was thrown. 1t seem-
ed that this party which claimed upwards
of $4,000 votes in the state, did not poll
over half that number. They largely went
back to the two old parties. Sturgis, the
Republican candidate, leads his ticket con-
siderably. The constitutional amendments
arc probably carried.
