DENVER. Colo. Nov. 6.-The cleo
tion returns from this state indicate
that while the Republicans have elect
ed Peabody and entire state ticket,
with the exception of Mrs. Grenfell
superintendent of public instruction
they are likely to lose the legislature
by a majority of but two. A change
from one of the districts reported
would make the house tie and
would cause a deadlock on the United
States senatorship. 1t will probably
be several days before the exact result
is ascertained. but this afternoon both
sides are claiming the legislature.
Brooks has beaten Adams for con-
gresham at large, and Hogg has seem
ingly carried the Second district from

NEW YORK, Nov. bird S. Coler.
the democratic candidate for governor,
insists today that he will contest
Odell's election, and that he can
prove defective votes sufficient to give
a safe majority. Much new evidence
has come to light today from the
Democratic state committee. which is
inclined to make the contest. On the
face of the returns Odells majority is

the claims of his opponent
Senator Platt's friends today an
nounce that he will undoubtedly be
candidate for reelection.
