COURTS MUST SAY
Continued from First Page)

Harrison Of sos. There may be slight
gain for the Democrats this year but i
is safe to say that from the returns fur-
nished by the Western Union Telegraph
company that Mckinley carries the state
by at leas, 6.Go0 votes.
The congressional situation IS much in
doubt. So far it IS known that the Re
publicans have elected three congress
men and the Democrats two. Barham in
the First: Hilborn, in the Third. and
Louis, in the Fifth, are safe for the Re-
puhlicans, while in the Second and
Fourth districts the Democrats have
elected De Vries and Mcguire. In the
Sixth and Seventh districts the vote is
very close ard the official count may
have TO decide the victors. With only
two precincts to hear from in the Sixth
district, McLachlan. Republican. leads
Barlow. fusionist, 81 votes. One of the
missing precincts is in San Bonito coun-
ty and the other in Santa Barbara
In the Seventh district all the precincts
except 26 have been heard from. In asa
out of ass precincts. Castle, fusionist.
leads Bowers, Republican, by 227 votes.
OF the missing precincts four are in Free
no county, three in Kern, 10 in MADEIRA.
one in MERGED and three in Riverside. II
is claimed that the majority Of these pre-
cincts are Democratic and if that is 50
Castles election seems assured.
The legislature will no doubt be Re
publican in both houses.
SEVERAL DAYS TO WAIT.
San Francisco, Nov. 6.-Returns from
the interior counties are coming In slow
~ and ii may be several days before the
vote is complete. Bryan is making small
gains but cannot increase his vote enough
to reduce the majority Of Mckinley by
more than a few hundred. The original
estimate of 5000 Republican majority
still stands
The close and exciting contests in the
Sixth and Seventh congressional districts
are the features OF the situation. In the
former McLachlan thinks he is bea ten
but the figures show that he has a very
small lead over Barlow, the fusion scan-
didate, and as there are only few pre-
cincts 10 hear from he should be elected
In the Seventh district the situation is
reversed, as Bowers claims MS election by
about 800, while the returns indicate that
he is running behind about 200, with 26
precincts missing. the result in both
districts will not be certainly known I'M
Ill the votes are in. The congressional
districts show practically no change from
yesterdays reArts.
