hotel. When the clerks forced an en-
trance to his room he was lying on the
bed with his clothes on, apparently
asleep.
Nc trace Of poison was found, while

it is a question whether he committed
suicide.
Colonel Blees had been at the hote.
three days. Two glasses and a water
pitcher were found in the bath room

of the glasses, although the odor of poi

.uTTLEFlELD WINS OUT
Maine Congressman . Reelected, but
by a Greatly Reduced
Majority,

Portland, Me, Sept. 1a-Governor
William 7. Cobb. of Rockland, republi-
san. standing or a platform devoted al
most exclusively to a continuance of
he prohibitory law of the state, was
reelected by a plurality of less than
5000. with but few exceptions the
smallest margin of votes ever given a
republican governor in Maine.
Cyrus Davis, Of Watervilie. the DEM
,cratic candidate for governor, polled
ione Of the largest votes in the history
of the party in this state. His issue
IN the campaign was the resubmission.
of the liquor question which was incor-
porated in the state constitution four
years ago.
More Interesting from a certain
standpoint was the reelection of Con-
gresham Charles e. Littlefeld, repub-
lican, of the Second district, by a great
ly reduced plurality. Congressman Lit
tlef1eld's candidacy was the subject of
bitter opposition on the part of Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, who asked for his
defeat on the grounds that he had yot-
ed against certain labor measures at
the last session of congress.
The issue between Gompers and Lit
tlefield was taken up by the republican,
congressional committee, and for three
weeks the district has been the scene
OF a hard fight, where Secretary Of War
Iaft, Senator Lodge and Senator Bey-
eridge and several congressman We're
pltted against the head of the Fedora
ton of Labor. Mr.. Littlefield's plural
ity is estimated at about 1000. I.
Congressman Edwin C.. Burleigh, in
the ThirH EHjcfrict# mud T 1oyyolxrr DNu,I
ers, in the Fourth, are reelected by
1000 plurality. The reelection of Con-
gresham Ames L.. Allen, in the Fifth
district, is claimed by the republican
leaders.
The legislature will be republican by
q safe margin. 8
Representative Littleieid in a state
ment to the Associated Press said:
In the last election in 1904 Governor
Cobb carried the state by 27,500; Con-
gresham Allen was elected by ASH:
Littlefield by 5,531; Burleigh by 6,863,
and Powers by S,919.
"Cobb's plurality is now estimated at
from 5000 to 10000; Aliens, 1000; Lit
tlefeld's, between 1900 and 1900; Bur-
leigh's, between 1900 and 1900, and
Powers, between $500 and 1000.
The result is due to the Sturgis
BILL and resubmission. In my opinion
Samuel Gompers helped me in my dis
trict.
81 had practically the only
sional fight in the state, and 1t was the
most vicious, bitter and energetic for
years."
At midnight Chairman Carter
claimed the republicans would have
ninety representatives in the legisla-
ture out Of a total membership of ISL.
He also claimed that twenty-four of
the thirty-one senators would be re-
publican.
