300 VOTES FOR TAFT.

New York, Nov. Eleventh hour
developments in the election situation
surprised the political leaders of 10th
big parties tonight, and the result may
be vindication of the judgment Of
National Chairman Hitchcock, who de-
clared that Taft would receive 1928
votes in the Electoral College. Mid
night returns indicate that he Is prac-
tically assured of 800 votes and has
fighting chance for Missouris 18,
which would give him a total of two
more than Hitchcock claimed. Mis-
souri, has been conceded to Bryan and
the plurality from a good part of the
state, including st. Louis. which was
turned in tonight. took the leaders by
surprise. If tonights advantage Is
continued Missouri will be in the Taft
column 1t is now placed among the
doubtful.
Another surprise of the night was
the close vote in Maryland. which is
claimed for Taft by the margin OF 1856
votes only. The Democrats do not con-
cede the loss of the state and will
be satisfied with nothing short of an
official count. =.
Mr.. Bryan has total of l56 votes.
1904 Mr.. Parker received only 40 votes.
in 1900 Mr.. Bryan received 1856 votes and
in 1896 the Nebraskan received 176
votes
Mr. Taft's 500 electoral votes compare
with 1886 received by Roosevelt in 1904:
292 received by Mckinley in 1900 and
271 received by Mckinley in 1896.
No changes of material interest have
been reported in the Congressional re-
turns today. The Republicans will have
about the same majority in the 61st
Congress as at present. and Joseph G.
Cannon of Illinois undoubtedly will
succeed himself as Speaker. Repre-
sentative Jesse Overstreet of Ohio Is
the most conspicuous among those who
have failed of reelection.
.rhe Senate retains its present COM
plexion. although there will be a ma
terial change in the personnel Of the
upper body of the national Legisla-
ture.
