THE OHIO
Republicans Have the Legislature as
the Count Stands.

Columbus, o., Nov. S.-The Ohio
Legislature stands "A Republicans, 70
Democrats and one doubtful on the
official returns received up to tonight,
with a dozen or more Of the SO counties
very close.
There have been no material changes
except in Wood county, which will be
claimed by both parties until the
courts pass on the action of the super
visors. There have been no unusual
proceedings before the returning boards
of any of the counties, except that OF
Wood, although both parties have had
their representatives and attorneys in
the county seats, wherever the vote
was close.
Chairman McConville, Of the Demo-
cratic state committee, has not changed
his claims of a Democratic majority IN
joint ballot, and will not do so until
the official returns OF all counties are in
and show the final result to differ from
the figures he has at hand.
Chairman McConville and others
from the Democratic state headquarters
vent to Cincinnati to confer with John
r. Mclean and other party leaders re-
garding the contests that are to be made
in the close counties.
Chairman Nash insists tonight that
the legislature stands 10 Republicans to
70 Democrats, and that the majority on
joint ballot for senator will not be less
than five. He says he is tonight salts
fed with the situation in Wood county.
WHAT he feared was that the official
count might wipe out the small Repub-
lican plurality in that county. Since
the official tally sheets show a plurality
of 81 for the Republican representative,
Judge Nash says he is willing and
ready to have the court pass on the case.
He says the law provides that the mem
bers of the boads Of election cannot go
behind the returns, and the supreme
court has held that they nave no minis
terial powers whatever and cannot hear
evidence or use their discretion in
throwing out votes. That is left to the
courts, and to each branch of the legis-
lature in passing on the credentials OF
its members,
