 CLAIM WHOLE TICKET

Columbus. Ohio. Nov. 7-Democratic state headquarters today added to their claims of the election of Staley Cream CT as state treasurer. another claim that the Republican candidates for Su- preme Judges Shanek of Dayton and Price of Lima. have been defeated and that possibly both George B. okey and Judge Hugh Mathews have been elect ed by the same or larger pluralities than MT Creamer 's/
 They also add that they now have reasons to concede nothing on the state ticket until all returns are in, and there is a fighting chance for nearly all.
 J. H. Newman, candidate for secre- tary of state. refuses to concede the election of Carmi A. Thompson, and says that early returns give him good grounds for refusing to do so.
 National Committeeman Harvie Gar Der is understood to claim only the election of state treasurer and pos sibly the defeat of Judge Shanck.
