ents were turned back from the polls
because their names already had been
voted. District Attorney Jerome has

showed Republican losses and the Re-
publicans concede that Pattison's s plu-
rality reaches 25 900. The Democrats
claim that Pattison's plurality approx
imates $1,000. which would elect the
entire Democratic ticket. Republicans
concede the Democrats between two
and five majority in the senate and
from 10 to Is in the house, while the
Democrats claim five in the senate and
27 in the house.

urer Berry carried the city by over
36, 900 plurality. The upheaval was
the greatest in Pennsylvania for many
years.
