REPUBLICAN CONTROL OF THE HOUSE.
NJ. MCPHERSON ESTIMATES TIE PARTY'S MA
JORITY AT 21-DEMOCRATIC HOPES
BASED ON FRAUD


Washington, Nov. Special The Democrats still
adhere their claim that tie next House Will contain
a Democratic majority This appears TO be based
partly upon the xpectaiiOD that they will be able TO
count Clayton and Featherstone in Arkansas Hun
ter Burchett and J. H. Wilson I'm Kentucky, Nichols
and Chcatham In North Carolina, and Browne, Waddll
and two other Republicans I'm Virginia Repre-
sentative Brccklnrdge of Kentucky to-day expressed
the opinion that the Republican majority In the next
House will be very slender and IS confident that it
cannot exceed ten in any According to his calcu
lauOn, the Republicans must show gain OF nineteen
Republicans to secure majority and he does not be-
leve that they have much exceeded that figure. As
ususal Brccknndge's figures Incorrect. Re-
publican net gain of nine votes instead Of nineteen
votes will give that party control Of the next House.
Edward Mcpherson to-day said:
"All the information obtainable to this afternoon
Justfes I'm expressing the opinion that the next
House viii consist OF 173 Republicans and 152 Demo-
Gratis. There is possibility that the Republican ma
joy may be reduced by later advces to nineteen or
twenty, but have made liberal allowances In my
calculations for all Democratic claims"
He also claims a Republican majority In tho
