Administration leaders are shocked over
the results OF Tuesdays election. They
expected Democratic Gins in many
States. but they were unprepared for a
landslide For weeks they had regarded
the outlook in New York as dubious from
Republican standpoint, but they enter
tanned hopes OF success in Ohio.
President Taft will make no comment
on the results of Tuesday. Announce
ment to this effect was made at the Ex-
ecutive offices yesterday The White
House is enveloped in an atmosphere OF
gloom Yesterday was Cabinet day. The
members of the Presidents official family
declined to make any comment on the
election results as they entered the Ex-
ecutiye offices. They looked gloomy
however.
The loss of the House is the most seri-
Gus blow to the administration. II will
