willie does not concede the control OF that
body to the republicans. After II p. m. he
received the claims OF the republicans on the
Legislature Mr.. McConville said the repub-
licans claimed the legislature by rs to TO-
He struck the representatives from Wood
and Noble counties from their list, also the
senator from the Maron-L Logan district and
said these three changes would make the
legislature stand 73 democrats to 70 repub-
licans and he would never give either of
these three doubtful members up until the
official count was completed. He also con-
tests the election Of two OF the twelve mem
bers from Cuyahoga county, which would
make the legislature stand 75 democrats and
20 republicans. Chairman McConville says
he believes the democratic representatives
were elected in three other counties which
he does not want to name pending investiga-
tion of alleged frauds. He charges frauds
in Noble and Wood counties and in the
Marlon-LogIn district
In the event of the republicans securing
the legislature on as close a margin as is
now claimed by them and not conceded by
the democrats, Chairman McConvile predicts
that Senator Hanna will secure the caucus
nomination but fail of election, as did Dr.
Godfrey Hunter at Frankfort, KY, last win
ter, and that the session of the Ohio legisla-
ture the coming winter would break the
record for factional fighting and disturbances
of the session of the Kentucky legislature
last winter. There are reports tonight that
certain anti-Harna republicans and demo-
cratic maragers have had conferences for
combine to bring out another man If Gov
ernor Bushnell refuses to allow the use of
his name for senator.
REPUBLICAN FIGURES.
AT republican state headquarters tonight
the list OF the districts are given, in which
1t is claimed that the republicans have II
and the democrats 10. The only district dis
puted by the democratic managers is that
which includes Marion and Logan counties,
and which would make the senate stand 16
republicans to 20 democrats. The republicans
conceae that the democrats will have two
majority in the senate and that no ripper"
bills reorganiZing the cities or any municipal
boards can therefore be passed. The repub-
licans claim that the organization of the
senate depends upon the attitude OF Senator
Weight of Cincinnati who is a fusion repub-
licln. ....
The republican state committee claims that
the two representatives from Summit county
are the only ones in doubt tonigh; and that
the returns show the house 70 stand fifty
eight republicans, forty-nine democrats and
two doubtful and that in their claims OF
10 to TO- with majority of five on joint bal
lot for senator, they have so far conceded
Summit county to the democrats elthough
they expect the official count to give them at
least one of the two Representatives from that
county.

election. He believed the result will increase
confidence and give greater activity in bus
mess. He concluded by saying that Ohio will
sound the keynote OF national politics for
the next ten years. After the speech a dis

republican less In the whole state on
pluTalities is "a 4,5S9. Chairman Nash says
there were factional troubles in other cities
than Cincinnati, notably Columbus and Toe-
do, and that the rainy weather and other
reasons caused an unusually large stay-at-
home vote, He states that the official count
will show that the vote was much smaller

withal that the republicans carried more
counties than were carried last year on the
presidential vote While the republicans
carried Hamilton county by 1910 on the
state ticket they lost their county ticket,
including fourteen members OF the leglsla-
ture. by several thousand.
The republicans claim that their legislative
ticket suffered defeat In Hamilton county be-
