Republicans Gain One Scat in Ken lucky Delegation.

Louisville. Ky, Nov. 6-Returns up to 10 o'clock tonight indicate that the only change in the Kentucky delegation to Congress would be in the Third District, where the Republicans have apparently gained seat.
 This. with the two they already hold gives eight Democratic and three Re- publican Representatives
 The returns from tho Democratic primary came in slowly and at 10 o'clock only one-fourth of the 1lJ counties had been heard from, but the returns indicate the nomination of James McCreary, the incurbent, for United States senator over Governo. J. C. w. Bcckham, by majority of about 5000.
 For the GovcrnOrship, the race is very close. Samuel w. Hager having only a slight lead over N. B. Hayes and 1t will probably take another day to determine the result The probable makeup of the. Stat ticket Is as fol- lows: Lieutenant Governor. south Trimble; Attorney General. James k Hendrick; Superintendent Public In struction, NJ. 0. Winfrcy: Secretary of state.

OHIO GOES REPUBLICAN.
Doubtful Congressional Districts Are
 Yet to RepOrt

Yet to Report.
 Columbus. Ohio. Nov. 6.-The indi- cations at 10 o'clock tonight were that the republicans had elected Carmi Thompson secretary of state and their entire state ticket by a safe plurality.
 Full figures were not obtainable, but increasing republican gains as the country precincts were reported more than balances their earlier losses in the cities and a clean victory for the entire republican state ticket was in- dicated.
 While Chairman Garber. of the dem- ocratic committee said that he would be unable to give out any statement to midnight owing to incomplete re- ports, statement was given out by Chairman Dick of the republican state committee just before 10 o'clock in which he said:
 Returns from republican county, chairmen show the election of the en- tire state ticket by a plurality ex- ceeding fifty thousand" .#.
 At that hour only a few congress sional districts had reported but in none of these had there been announce ed a democratic victory. However. the districts first reported were those conceded to be republican.

I.oeb and Assistant Attorney General Corey. he scanned the reports furnish. ed him by the press associations ana by the various private sources all over the country.
 The greatest interest centered In the report from New York where the carry returns indicated that if MT Hughes was elected the claims of his managers for large majorities for him would be materially reduced. Early In the evening Secretary Root estimated that Mir. Hughes majority might vary from 6O.00O to 75.000.
 An early personal telegram to the President said that Hughes had car ried oyster Bay by 152 majority.
 Because of the incomplete character of the returns 1t was announced there would be no statement tonight from the president on the result in New York.

IOWA IN DOUBT.

For First Time In Many Years Demo-
 crats are Strong.
 Des Moines. Iowa, Nov. 6-For the first time in many years the guberna- torial results in Iowa is in doubt.
 Although both Republican and Demo- cratic State managers ciaim the elec- tion of their candidates for Governor. all the returns receivced up to II O. clock, numbering about 250. indicate that only d complete count will deter- mine the result.
 The 25O precincts already received shows loss for Cummins of nearly forty per cent. which. if maintained. would mean the election Of Porter, Democrat, by smal plurality.
 Iowa will have ten Republicans in it's next Congressional delegation.
 The next State Legislature will be safely Republican and on joint ballot will probably re-elect J. P. Deliver to the United States Senate.

Governor Guild Increases His Majority
 of Two Years Ago.

Boston. Nov 6.-The Republicans, af- ter a short but spirited campaign. were victorious in the State election today, Governor Guild being reelected by a considerably increased plurality over last year. while his opponent. District Attorney John B. Moran of Boston, the nandidate of the Democratic and Pro- hibition Party and Independence League received a somewhat larger vote than that given the Democratic candidate year ago.
 With two-thirds of the State vote tabulated, MT. Guilds plurality was es- timated late tonight at about Shooo.
 The Republicans reelected their en- tire State ticket although Lieutenant Governor Draper fell considerably be- hind Governor Guild.

this YOUNG MAN
ALREADY A HERO
Walter Wilde Stood a Remark
able Test in Order to
Re-enter West Point

Walter Wilde. of Hazleton. Pa. a West
Point cadet, returned to the academy
yesterday after a years absence. During
that period he withstood a test such as
few men have ever borne and his courage
has won him the reward he desired.
He was entered in West Point a year
ago last spring. Last August, while at
home on vacation. he was riding
through the mountains when his horse
fell. rolled over on him and broke his leg
Wilde was taken to the Hazleton hospital
and, while the bone knitted perfectly,
when the plaster cast was removed it was
found that the leg had shrunk several in
ches.
This deformity debarred him from re-
entering the Academy. and he was brok-
en- hearted. Eminent physicians, however,
told him that if the leg was rebroken and
the tendons submitted to a heavy and
constant strain for some time the leg
might be stretched to it's natural length
again. They warned him, however. that
he would have to submit to constant and
severe pain for a long time. He said
he was willing to undergo anything TO
get back to West Point.
Accordingly. last March he was taken
to the Polytechnic Hospital at Philadel-
phia, where DR.. John b. Roberts broke
the leg. Weights of three hundred pounds
were then attached to the leg by pulleys
and the leg was drawn up from the cot
into the air while Wilde was strapped
down For nearly two months the cadet
remained in that position. Much of that
time he was unable to sleep owing to the
excruciating pain. but never whimpered
or groaned. So bravely did he bear his
sunerngs that he was christened by
nurses and doctors "The Hero OF the
Polytechnic"
Early in June the weights were removed
and the operation had been successful.
Tomorrow morning he will start for
West Point.
