NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. S.-The extra edi-
ton OF the Telegram Just out says: The
air has now cleared so that the presiden-
tial vote can be fairly seen. So sweeping
indeed has been the victory that his ma
iority in the electoral college will be at
least 65. He has carried not only New
York but Indiana, Wisconsin and Cali
fornia by safe majorities according to the
latest returns. In other words, he is
elected president without the vote Of New
York. This settles the case beyond all
possibility of dispute and shows the SIZE
of the Democr attic defeat.
The Star says: Reports from 3l3 out
of 1926 congressional districts give los
Democrats and 148 Republicans, leaving
twelve districts in doubt, with a good
chance of continued Democratic control of
the house of representatives. The Times
figures a Democratic majority of three,
while the Philadelphia Times (Ind.)
exactly reverses these estimates, giving
three to the Republican party. Nc.
Pherson, long Republican clerk of the
house of representatives, estimates a Re-
publican majority of seventeen. and the
Tribune accepts these figures. The Press
reaches the same result. While it may

INDIANA.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. S.-Harrison's
majority in Indiana will not be less than
5000 and probably 5000. The state
ticket will be elected by the same ma
iority.
From nearly complete returns from all
congressional districts it is believed the
congressional delegation in congress will
stand Democrats eight, Republicans five,
a n increase of two for the Democrats.
County returns from Indiana had not
begun to arrive at midnight, and it is
scarcely probable that official returns will
be received before Friday night, when
the vote of the state by counties will be
given. Returns from congressional dis.
tricts are also incomplete, bnt up to |
O'Clock nothing had occurred that changed
the result given in the earlier press dis
patches. Latest returns on the presiden-
tlal electors indicate that Gen. Harrison's
plurality will be about 4, ZOO.
MISSOURI.
ST. LOUIS. Nov. S.-Complete returns
from eighty out of 14O counties in the
state and partial returns from the re-
mainder show Cleveland's plurality to be
about 5000, that of Francis for governor
5000. St. Louis complete gives Cleve-
land 25.64l, Harrison 3l,9l6, Francis
23,567, Kimball 33,686.
Official and semi-oficial returns have
been received from ninety of ia counties
in the state and with advices from the
remaining twenty-four show that Cleve-
lands plurality will exceed $4,000. Fran
els DEM, for governor, will have a plu-
rality over Kimball (Rep.) of about
1000. The Republican state committee
now concede the election of Francis, but
by a very small plurality. No further
change in the congressional delegation.
