MARYLAND.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 3.-With semi
official returns from all the counties in
the State except St. Marys and Calvert
and fairly good estimates from these
the democrats appear to have elected
enough members to the next Legislature
to give them majority of FIVE on joint
ballot, and to ensure them United
States Senator to succeed Senator Cor.
man. Official returns may be neces
sary to decide the position of some OF
the counties, and these may alter the
result, but from the best obtainable
figures at this time, the democrats ap'
pear to have total of 81 legislative
votes while the republicans have So
The State Senate will be republican by
a probable majority of six while the
democrats appear to have captured the
lower house by majority of nine.
BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 3.-Chair-
man Vandiver, of the democratic State
central committee, said at noon that
the result on the legislative ticket in
Maryland now depends on single
vote. He has counted SIS as being Ger.
tain in the democratic column and ex-
poets to get one from Montgomery
county to make it certain. Calvert
county is also to be heard from and he
has strong hopes of carrying it. Later
advices place Anne Arundel safely in
the democratic column, but a telephon-
ic message from Acknowledgement Cla-
baugh says that Carroll county is SO
close as to require an official count to
determine the result. The democrats,
however, insist that they will get at
least three votes there, and the general
belief is that the estimates heretofore
seut out from here by the Associat'
ed Press are correct.
At o'clock to-day it looks as if the
political complexion of the Maryland
legislature may hinge upon the result
in Calvert county, from which neither
party has as yet heard any definite re-
turns. The latest reports give the re-
publicans 16 senators and the demo.

licans have nine hold.over Sena.
tors. The democratic strength in
the House of Delegates is 49,
Adding nine democratic Senators, the
democrats are now certain on joint bal.
lot of 81 votes. A majority on joint
ballot is SO. The republicans claim a
delegate from Washington county.
This, with the Senator and two dele
gates from Calvert, would give them
81 votes. The republicans have elect
ed Al members of the house. Sixteen
Senators added to these, make total
vote for them on joint ballot of 81. II
they get three votes from Calvert, they
can afford to lose one in Washington.
Phillips Lee Goldsborough, of Dorches-
ter, probably has been elected State
comptroller by the republicans.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 3.-The result
of the elections in Ohio is still in doubt
