Congressman FOss Wins Over Draper In Massachusetts.
TENER LEADS REPUBLICANS.
Many Changes In Congress. G.0. P. Holds Western States.

New York, Nov. 9.-The Democratic victory was widespread. Not only New York, but Massachusetts, Con braska went Democratic.
 The indications are that the Demo crats will control the Sixty-second congress by small majority. There are at present PIT Republicans and l74 Democrats in the lower house. New York city sends three Democrats in place of Republicans; Brooklyn sends two, and the Utica district sends one, from Vice President Sher- mans home. There are gains of one in Kentucky, one in North Carolina, one in Connecticut and two in Mary land. These, with the two recently elected from Maine and one elected in Louisiana and one in Texas, added to a number whom the Democrats are is close, give the Democrats control of the lower house.
 New York Is Democratic by a plu- rality for Dix of about 60,O00 over Stimson, as compared with the plu- rality Taft got two years ago, and reversing the plurality for Hughes that same year
 New Jersey elected Woodrow Wilson Dem.) by plurality of about 25,000.

 In Tennessee Hooper, the Republican and Independent Democratic candidate for governor, was elected by about 12,. 900.
 In Nebraska the Democratic state candidates were elected, with the pos. sible exception of Cowboy Dahlman MT. Bryan's former friend, who may be defeated. The legislature is Demo cratic, and a Democrat will be sent to the United States senate.

Mr. Warner, he could not go into the
