Contest In Kentucky.


Louisville, KY, Nov. e.-No matter
what result the face of the returns of
Tuesdays election show, contest is
very likely to occur. Additional re-
turns received last night continue to
show republican gains, and, basing an
estimate upon the normal complexion
OF the precincts still unreported, indi-
cate plurality of 5000 or 5000 for w.
5. Taylor for governor. The belated
returns are mostly from mountain
counties which are strongly republican.
The Goebel people cling to their claim
of a plurality of 5000 in the state, these
figures being the estimate made by the
nominee himself last night.

Columbus, O., Nov. Elm 81 coun-
ties Nash (rep.) has 81, 500 over Mclean
(dem.), and in 81 counties Mclean has
"a, 035- over Nash. This gives Nash over
Mclean in the state so, 3S4. The total
vote is enormous, and may reach $780,
600. Jones Gnd.) polled about 100, 900
votes. Republicans have a big major

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 9.-Returns
from the close counties in Maryland

Gratis the control of both branches of
the general assembly. They have car
ried the lower house by such decisive
ma jority as to make it almost unani-
nous and have the senate by a major
ity of three. Full unofficial returns

the rest of the state give his total ma
joritY as 1925.
