CLAIMS OF LEADERS.

WASHINGTON. Nov s.-chairman
Babcock. OF the republican congressional
committee. in a statement to the Associ'
ated Press this evening said:
There can be no longer any reasonable
argument over the political complexion
OF the next house OF representatives. 1t
will be republican beyond the shadow OF
o doubt. Our advices show the certain
election OF iS republicans, six more than
enough to give us control.
''our information induces US to place
nine districts in doubt These are the
Seventh in California 1.-The Third, Fourth,
Fifth, and Sixth in Nebraska; the Seven
teenth. Nlnteenth and Twenty-sixth in
Pennsylvania, and the Twelfth In Texas.
We are reasonably certain to get some Of
them. without them, however, We have
a clear majority and are resting perfectly
easy"
At the headquarters of the democratic
congressional committe, confidence is ex-
pressed that the democrats will control
the next house OF representatives. Sec
retary Kerr says that in a large number
OF districts It will require an Official
count to determine definitely the result.
'It seems certain" said Secretary Kerr
to a representative OF the Associated
Press, "that we have elected iSS members
Of the next house and the republicans
lsS, and that Ii districts are In doubt"

surely democratic or fusion. Returns re-
celved up to this hour show that there
has been no change In any Of these dis
trlcts from the figures we made before

country were left in doubt, and those
are the ones we are anxious to hear

returns from 80 Nineteen went repuo-
lican and IS democratic.

very definite advices have been received
from states west of the Missouri river,

With the advices now at hanu, cannot
figure republican majority in the next
house Of representatives of less than q

publican membership in the present
