Complexion of House of Representatives Undrgoes a
 Complete Change THE SLAUGHTER IN TWO NEW ENGLAND STATES
Dix Carried New York by Overwhelming Majority Incomplete Figures Indicate That Ohio and Indiana Have Gone Wrong Democrats Are Claiming Iowa Republican Has Been Elected Governor of Tennessee Missouri Declined to Come In Out of the Wet

The election throughout the coun- try resulted in a political convulsion. of far-reaching extent, similar in many points to the famous tidal wave of 1892, and is apparently more wide spread in its effect.
 The national house of representa- tives has been carried by the dem ocrats, reversing the present republi can majority of 43.
 The senate will probably have a reduced republican majority as a re- suit of legislative elections held in many states.
 In New York, Dix, democratic. was election by about S0,00O, reversing reversing the republican plurality of 10000 given Hughes.
 In New Jersey, Woodrow Wilson the democratic candidate for gov ernor, was elected over Lewis, repub- lican by about 15.000. reversing the previous republican plurality of 5000 for Governor Fort.
 In Massachusetts, Foss, democrat, defeated Draper, republican, for re- eelction by about 3O,O00, reversing Drapers former plurality of 5000.
 In Connecticut, Baldwin, democrat. was elected governor over Goodwin by about 4,000 reversing the previous republican plurality of 16,000.
 In Ohio, Harmon, democrat, ap- pears to have carried the state by about 15,0OO over Harding.
 Pothier, the republican candidate for governor of Rhode Island is elect ed by a majority of 1900.
 In Pennsylvania the election of Tener, republican, is claimed by large plurality.
 In Tennessee the fusion candidate, Hooper. republican, is apparently elected by I5.0O0./
 Democratic governors are elected in Alabama and South Carolina.
 In Iowa, the democrats claim the election of Porter. but that is not yet conceded.
 In Wisconsin the election of the re- publican candidate for governor. Me Govern, is claimed by a reduced ma iority, and the return of LaFollette to the senate is asured.
 In Michigan, Osborn, the republi- can candidate for governor appears to have a safe lead over his dem ocratic opponent.

AVIATION EVENTS.
A Day of Sport Spoiled by the High
 Wind.

Baltimore Md. Nov 7.-After a morning of ideal weather conditions, high winds began to blow today and it looked as though the largest audi ence thus far gathered at the avia- tion field would be disappointed. Nevertheless Latham, De Lesseps, Drexel and HOrsey braved the breeze, some of them more than once.
 Hoxsey, in a Wright bi-plane. made five circuits of the mile track, the best time 1925 Is, and remained in the air g minutes 22 4-5 seconds.
 Latham. in an Antoinette. made five. landing in the back stretch after be- ing in the air 12 minutes and sec onds. De Lesseps, in a Bleriot, land ed soon after a single circuit course. Drexel went aloft in a 15-mile wind. remaining in the air six minutes. De Lesseps again went up, making one lap in one minute seven seconds, the fastest of the day.

COOK THE EXPLORER
 TRAVELLED IN 4 CIRCLE
Statements Obtained from Two of His
 Esquimos.

Chicago, H., Nov. S.-Dr. Cook is further discredited in a special cable dispatch to the Chicago Daily News from it's correspondent in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is the story of the first publication of Knud Rasmussen, the Danish explorer. as sent by him to his wife in Copenhagen and now given out by her. Contained in it is the story of what purports to be state ments by Cooks two EsquimO com panions in the Polar quest, Itukasuk and Apilak, in which they confirm Peary's charge that Cook travelled in a circle and never even approached the pole.
 Rasmussen, in the story, is quoted as saying that he himself did not in- terview the men but their statements were taken by Rev. Olsen and Sech- mann Rosebach, missionaries.
 The dispatch to the News says:
 Already in 1909 when on an ex- petition to Greenland,' writes Rass- mussen, "I had grave doubts whether Cook really reached the pole, so determined to find out from his Es- quimo companions. I secured their statements through the missionaries. V
 The story of the Esquimos is given in the dispatch:
 eve travelled from AnnatOok with eight sledges in the company of Cook on the first of February. From there to Ellensmore we slept only once on the ice. It took only four days to cross Ellesmore land. Eigh- teen days out our companions left us. We had then gone only about twelve English miles from land. The ice was fine and there was no reason to stop, for anyone who wanted to go on could do so.
 "On the nineteenth day Cook took observations with an instrument he held in his hand and then changed our course westward. We left here a lot of food for the men and dogs and one of us went ahead to examine the ice"

NOTHING TO SAY.
But Colonel Roosevelt Is Doing a Lot
 of Thinking.

Oyster Bay, Nov. S.-'I have abso- lutely nothing to say" was the word which came from Sagamore Hill.
 Colonel Roosevelt was at home all evening but declined to receive inter- viewers. The probable attitude of Colonel Roosevelt, in view of the cleo ton, can be judged only by what he said in the last few days. In a speech at Davenport, Iowa, last Friday, he said the Iowa republicans if beaten this time, would win next time, and that, win or lose, the fight would go on. Just after he voted today he said again that whether the result was favorable or not, the party would keep the fight up."
 He made it clear that he believes the election was only a step in the fixed program so far as the New York election is concerned. The victory over the "Old Guard" has placed the party in a position from which it can go steadily ahead.
 Colonel Roosevelt has given no indi- cation of which political moves he will make in the future. All he said was that he hoped to enjoy the seclusion of Sagamore Hill for some time to come.

MORNING, NOVEMBER g, 1910

Mir. Ellingwood opposed any action on It was. he said, a self-serving meas ure and could not add a square inch to the territory of the state and be- sides would make the constitution that much longer than it ought to be. He pointed to the fact that few of the states constitutions contained clauses relating to their boundaries. But the adoption of the report was recommended.
 There was a struggle in the con- vention over the question of adjourn ment. There had been a semi-un- derstanding the day before that af- ternOon sessions would not be held this week but that their places would be taken by night sessions. It was held however that sufficient to each day was the evil thereof and that no such arrangement could be made for the entire week.
 But yesterday it was resolved to adjourn at the end of the morning session until this morning.
 At the opening of the session, Mir. WinsOr moved that the freedom of the floor be accorded to Major General Thomas who was a guest of the city. MT Winsor said that he could state that General Thomas was not a lob- byist and that therefore the spirit of the rules would not be violated by admitting him.
 It was unanimously adopted that the general be given the privilege of the floor, an honor which had not been previously accorded to any man.
 MT. EllinwOod presented a communi- cation from his constituents of Co., chise county protesting against what was alleged to be the discriminatory medical proposition.
 It is certain that there is going to be war over the recall measure. A large number of the democratic dele gates are not in favor of it in any form and a still larger number are not in favor of bringing the judiciary within itself, in the belief that such inclusion would certainly result in the defeat of statehood. They point out that there is nothing so freak ich in the Oklahoma geological gar den of freaks"

THE NEXT HOUSE.
The Seeming Color of it at ii O'Clock
 Last Night.

Chicago, Nov. S.-That the next house of representatives will be con- trolled by the democrats was indicated by the returns received up to Il p. m. The democrats gained from republicans seats in congress in eight states.
 In New York seven republican seats were secured by democrats. In each Maryland, Massachusetts and North Carolina the republicans lost two. Losses are known to have been sus- tained in Illinois. Kentucky, Missouri and ohio.
 The known democratic gain was eighteen, offset by two republican gains, one each in New York and Pennsylvania. Reports from other states indicate that the democrats will have an ample margin to assure them of the twenty two seats necessary to give them control of the house with the two democratic gains previously report ed in Maine.
 Returns from Oklahoma indicate that the democrats have probably gained two.
 Democratic headquarters in New Jer- sey declared that the democrats in that state will hold eight seats, a gain of five.
 In West Virginia the democrats gained three districts.
 Missouri showed one known and three probable democratic gains, while in Iowa and Illinois the returns indi- cated democratic gains of total of six seats.
 The North Carolina returns indicated a democratic gain of three seats.
 A surprise came in Wisconsin in the election of Berger in the fifth district, now held by the republicans.
 SOME OF THE SUCCESSFUL.
 Among the democrats elected to con- gress are: Nebraska, Lobeck; Kentucky, Fields; Oklahoma, Carter and Ferris; North Carolina, Steadman; Virginia, Saunders; Massachusetts, Mitchell.
 Among the republicans are: Illinos, Fuller and Prince; Minnesota, Miller and Anderson; West Virginia, Gaines; Massachusetts, Ames; New York. Fairchild; wyoming, Mondell Cat large); California, Knowland; Kansas, Anthony. Mitchell. Jackson and Rees; Tennessee, Austin.

THE RESULT IN NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. S.-Dix, democrat. was elected governor of New York over Stimson by approximately 6S,000 plu- rality. New York city gives Dix a plurality of more than 100000 which more than tffset the greatly reduced plurality Of the republicans pstate.
 Below Dix the ticket is uncertain. all though tending to democratic success.
 The complexion of the legislature, which will select a successor to Depew, will be settled only by more complete returns, although it seems probable that the republicans will have work ing majority.
 Roosevelts home district, Oyster Bay. gave Dix a plurality of 204 against a plurality of 793 for Hughes. At Utica, Talcott, democrat defeated Millington, Shermans nominee for congress, by S768.

LA TOILETTE SECURE.
But One of His Candidates for State
 Office Was Beaten.

Milwaukee, Nov. S.-Sanator La Fol lette will be reelected to the senate by the legislature elected in Wisconsin to- day, which, from returns received up to 10 D. m., is safely republican. The election of McGovern, republican, for governor is claimed by the republican state committee. though by consider ably reduced pluralities compared with the vote of two years ago, when Gov ernor Davidson, republican, won by sO,000.
 Eight republicans and one democrat Gin the sixth district) were elected to congress: the fourth is in doubt, and Victor Berger, socialist democrat, was elected in the fifth.
 Bancroft, republican, for attorney general, appears to have been re-elect- ed over the La Toilette candidate, Crownheart of Superior, who was run ming as an independent republican.
 The social democrats are marking heavy gains in Milwaukee county. and claim to have elected the county ticket.

THE COUNTRY SWEPT FROM STEM ID STERN

ernor with a plurality that. estimated on the basis of partial returns, may approximate 50,000. He seemingly carried the entire state ticket to vic tory.
 The returns from 2S1 precincts out of 3159 in the state received at mid night gave the following vote for gov ernor: Johnson 17,997 Bell 13,446.
 For lieutenant governor: Wallace 1S,05S, Spellacy 12,646.
 For justices of the supreme court: Melvin (Rep) 19,966, Sloss (Rep) 2O,- 2S4, Bledsoe Oem) 9,690, Lawlor Oem) 11,00S.
 From incomplete returns received at midnight from the eight congressional districts in the state it appeared prob able that California had again r-turned a solid republican delegation to the lower house of congress.
 Some surprising features developed in the vote cast today.
 Foremost among these was the strength shown by J. Stitt Wilson, socialist candidate for governor, in the larger centers of population. In some of the labor districts of San Francisco an unexpectedly large num- Der of straight socialist votes were boiled and in the belief of the demo- cratic campaign committee this ex- plained the failure of Bell to go out of this city with the large plurality which had been claimed for him.
 Other leading features were returns of seeming 'reversals of form of the two great parties in certain districts in which either was supposed to have overwhelming strength. Thus the Bell slump in San Francisco was off, set in some measure by the closeness of the indicated vote in several south- ern California counties, counted as Johnson strongholds.
 The count of the vote in the city of San Francisco was exasperatingly slow. It was after ten o'clock tonight before the first complete returns from single precinct were turned in, and at midnight only nine precincts had reported full totals.
 Snap tallies taken at various poll ing places. indicated a remarkably close vote for the governorship. John son and Bell alternating in the lead by narrow margins.
 With incomplete returns from 344 out of 352 precincts of this witty, the vote for governor stood: Johnson 9S54, Bell 9217, Wilson 3716. Spellaoy 995S, Wal lace 7257. In the heavy labor union precincts Wilson boiled a strong vote. Kahn is returned to congress from the fourth district and Hayes from the fifth, having beaten Thomas F. Hay den. By heavier vote than was cast for either gubernatorial candidate, Mel win and Sloss. republicans. associate justices of the supreme court, were successful in this city over Lawlor and Bledsoe, the democratic candidates.
 Other members of the republican state tickets established leads over their opponents which are not likely to be reversed in the final count.
 In the legislative districts, only one democratic assemblyman has been suc- cessful, while the republicans made a clean sweep of the senatorial districts.
 In this city two constitutional amend ments permitting the issue of bonds for the Panama Pacific International exposition carried by an overwhelming vote. Incomplete returns for amend ment No. g give 11,701 favorable votes and 1910 against; 11,211 votes were cast for amendment No. 33 and 1011 against.

IOWA IN DOUBT.

Des Moines, Nov. S.-At midnight both democrats and republicans claimed the governorship with the democrats showing greater confidence. If Carroll is reelected 1t will be by the narrowest margin. Porter, the democratic candidate for governor, it is claimed, will carry the state by 10000.
 Whatever the result, it is certain that the aggressive campaign carried on by the democrats, coupled with factional strife in the republican ranks wiped out the normal republi- can plurality of this state of about 60,000.
 Carroll was scratched mercilessly, running behind his ticket in practical ly every precinct.
 The rest of the republican state ticket is probably elected.

CAUGHT IN A GROUND SWELL

New York, Nov. S.-Henry Stimson attributes his defeat to causes na- tion- wide and the general movement of the republican party toward pro- gressiveness.
 There seemed to be a ground swell all over the country" he said, tonight, and I was caught in it. l think it is only the beginning. We are beginning to have re-alignment of political parties. and the republi- can party is going through the agony of becoming progressive.
 "The returns speak for themselves. have nothing to regret. We have had a good clean fight. I am sur prised that I ran so well, and with the rest of the ticket"
 Stimson first conceded his defeat at o'clock this evening. An hour and a half later he sent a telegram to Dix congratulating him on his election.

 Early returns showed that the democrats came near carrying vic tory along all the offices in the state ticket Those returns, however. do not materially jeopardize the chances of the return of Senator Lodge

May Grow Out Of Strike
Started by Boys.
Whole Force Of Pawtucket
Thread Mills May Quit.
Webster Mill will Follow the Lead
Or Fall River and New Bedford.

Pawtucket, r. l., Jan. 23.-Although
there will be no general strike tomor-
row in the thread mills of the j. & p.
Coates Co, Ltd, there will be one next
week, it is claimed, unless the demand,
formulated at mass meeting today,
for the restoration of 10 per cent. cut
made two years ago. is granted to all
the operatives below the finishing de-
partment before Friday night. Thus,
out of the demand of $50 backboys and
doffers, against the wishes of their
parents. many of whom We're forced
out of work by the boys strike, may
grow a general strike among the $500
operatives. The boys asked only for
the continuance of 5S-hours pay after
the o6-hour law went into effect. This
amounts to about 4 per cent. 1t is eX-
pected that the demand of today will
be concurred in by the 1900 operatives
of the finishing departments who have
not been affected as yet.
At the mass meeting a committee
representative of all departments be-
low the finishing grade, was appointed
to wait upon the mill mana cement to-
morrow with the demand The COM
pany officials are given until Friday
night to answer. At that time another
mass meeting will be held to take
