CoNGREssMEN RUN CLOSE. :
But Republican State Ticket in Wash
ington Wins by 10000.

SEATTLE, Wash, November 5.-The re-
publicans have carried the state Of Wash
ington by a majority that may run as high.
as 1900, though the indications are that it
will be nearer 10000.
The democratic state committee does not
claim the election of any of its state ticket,
though insisting that the meager returns
received justify the belief that there is
chance for democratic control of the state
legislature.
Chairman Morris Of the republican COM
mittee holds that the republicans will have
a majority on joint ballot of fully forty.
The returns SO far received seem to JUS
tify the claim Of a large republican major
ity in both branches of the legislature.
Owing to the fact that there is an over
whelming majority of republicans in the
list Of hold-over senators, this branch has
not been in doubt. The house probably will
be controlled by proportionate majority.
1t is likely that Judge Hiram E. Hadley,
nominee for justice of the supreme court,
will lead the republican state ticket The
three congressional nominees will run very
close.

BABCoCK PLACES THE MAJORITY
AT EIGHT,

At 3:I5 o'clock this afternoon the
returns from the various congress
sional districts throughout the coun-
try show that there is some doubt
as to which party will control the,
next House of Representatives. The
outlook, however, favors the repub-
licans.
The claim of the republican con-
gressional committee made this af
ternoon in New York is that the
House will be republican by twenty
eight, while Chairman Griggs of
the democratic congressional COM
mittee lays claim to democratic ma
iority of from eight to twelve.
A table, based on the news as re-
ceived blythe Associated Press today,
foots up IoI republicans, 179 demo-
Gratis and 13 districts classed as
doubtful.
To the republican membership OF
1oI may safely be added the 3 inde-
pendent republican members from
Pennsylvania, which would give the
republicans just enough votes to
control the House.

suit by states of the election for the

that he would carry Allegany county. The

though complete returns of yesterdays cleo

a majority Of nearly 5000 votes over Gov.

a change from last nights figures, which
show the election Of the democratic state

legislature that will select a succs ssor to
