 able Owing to Discomfort Evidenced.
 Portland, Me, Sept. 11.-Governor William T. Cobb's plurality over the vote cast yesterday for Cyrus w. Da- wis, the democratic candidate, is close to 5000, according to the compilation of the vote made in this city tonight These figures are based on returns from 491 cities, towns and plantations. Twenty-nine missing towns and planta- tions, the combined vote of which only totalled S66 four years ago, are so far removed from all sources of communi- cation that the accurate results will not be known for several days. These towns gave republican plurality of 4OS in 1902
 Returns from Congressman Little fields district were completed tonight and they show plurality of 1,259 for him. The total vote for Littlefeld was 1S,636. Daniel J. McGillicuddy, the dem- ocratic candidate, received 17,377 Based on the vote received by MT. Lit tlefield four years ago, he suffered a net loss of 42s9 this year, but the suc- cessful candidate is emphatic in his dec laration that the loss was due to the general slump in the republican plural. ities rather than to the campaign made against him by Samuel Gompers, presi. dent of the American Federation oI Labor.
 The probable action of the next ses sion of the legislature on liquor legisla tion is now the subject of conjectur, | throughout the state. Congressman Littletield is authority for the state ment that "the rum question" cost th republican candidates thousands o votes. In view of the widespread dis satisfaction with the existing laws, i is thought probable that they will b modified.
