bly,. In the greater city IL Is estimated
from very meaEer returns that the rep
resentatlon will be ffty-one Democrats

Gratis In twenty districts. In the last as

Democrats. the next house Will have ten
Democratic majority. state senator's were
not elected this year. Other estimates give
Republican majority In the assembly 5.
Rain, which prevailed over the state had
the effect OF keeping back many OF the
country voters all over the state. The re-
suit Is apparent In the reduced ma iorities
