 In Connecticut Judge Simeon H. Baldwin, Democrat Is elected governor over Charles A. Good win Republican, by about l40OO plurality, reversing the previous Republican plurality of 16,OO0.
 In Ohio Gov. Judson Harmon, Democratic candidate for relect- ion appears to have carried the state by about 15,00O over War ren c. Harding, Republican.
 In New Hampshire Robert H.. Bass, Republican, candidate for governor, is leading Charles E, Carr. Democratic candidate, by about 6,000 plurality.
 In Pennsylvania the election of John K. Tener, Republican can di0ate for governor, is claimed by large plurality.
