REPUBLICANS WIN maryland AND LOSE
BOTH MASSACHUSETTS AND KENTUCKY
New Mexico is Democratic--New York Assembly is Over
! whelmngy Repubican-.Penrose Man Defeated in Phia-
delphiaSocast Candidate in Mississippi Nearly Elected

Early returns from various states
today make 1t plain that Governor
Eugene H. Foss. Democrat. will be
the head of the state Of Massachu-
sets another year. but he will as in
the past, be surrounded by Republican
state officials.
Indications at albuquerque are that
the Democrats have triumphed in New
Mexico. This was the first election
held in New Mexico which Is now q
state. The Republicans, however. still
hope to control the legislature and
elect United States senator.
In Maryland the returns are coming
in slowly. but it seems certain that
Phillip Lee Goldsborough, Republican,
was elected governor.
There were revolts in Kentucky and
Ohio. In the former state majority
was given to practically all the DEM
ocratic candidates. and James Ben
nett McCreary was elected governor
by more than 10000. The state legis-
lature will have Democratic major
the election to the United States SEN
ate Of Congressman Ollie James. The
municipal elections in Ohio resulted
in victory for George ]. Kasba, the
Democratic candidate for mayor of
Columbus. Democratic mayors in Gin
cinnati and Cleveland also were
elected.
Two states, New York and New Jer-
sey, replaced Democratic assemblies
with Republicans.
New York elected an assembly that
will have a Republican majority great
er than the present Democratic ma
jority in the lower branch Of the leg
islature. In New York city the Re-
publicans, generally speaking, had the
best of it. Tammany retained its grip
on the Bronx but it lost Brooklyn and
the control of the board Of aldermen.
In New Jersey, which has Dem
ocratic assembly and Republican
senate. the Republicans will have con-
troll Of both houses.
A Democratic governor and state
officers We're elected in mississippi. and
a Republical executive was chosen in
Rhode Island.

Washington. Nov. s.-Friends Of DR..
WI Ting Fang when they read that
the former minister from China to
the United States had been chosen
minister OF foreign relations in the

considerable interest a spiritualistic
seance in which he took part here two
years ago when the events Of the last
few weeks We're foretold to a marked
degree.
Dr.. Wu'e penchant for investigation
while he was accredited to the Unit
ed States won for him the name OF
being ''the human Interrogation
mark" During his inquiry into spirit
ualism he attended seance at which
the medium" conveyed him messages
from the spirit world"
The striking part of the messages.
which is now mentioned as having
been confirmed by the recent events
in China. was that the spirits foresaw
for DR.. WI "a terrible war in tho
Chinese empire" They told DR.. WI
that during this war he would oc-
cupy place Of great importance and
influence" :.
In connection with the prophecy
a spirit purporting to be that of Presi-
