the three Democratic nominees have
been elected by slight majority. Com

entire Democratic State ticket is elected.
The returns which furnish this result
are official from all counties except
eight These have been carefully esti-
mated, and, as they have heretofore
given Democratic majorities, there can
be no doubt that the vote announced is
substantially correct.
Full returns to-day show that in
addition to the Democratic gains here
tofore announced, Congressman Payson
and Hill have also been defeated and
Snow and Stewart, Democrats, have
been elected.
In response to request for informa-
ton, both Hill and Payson have tele
graphed the Associated Press conceding
their defeat, the former by $50 and the
latter by 500 to 700. This makes the

for Governor, has an apparent MAORI

and that 126 Republican votes not
counted ia Bridgeport should be
counted. The Senate is Democratic,
