Mcdonald, Governor by a plu- rality of 2,50O and that the entire Democratic state ticket has also won The Republicans refuse to concede the defeat of Holm B. Bursum, their can- didate Indications are that H. B. Ferguson, Democrat, has been elected to one seat in Congress, while the re- suits of the other Congressional con- test is close, with George Curry, Re- publican, running ahead.

The Repub- licans dispute this claim. The amend ment to the state constitution, mak- ing that instrument more easily amen dable was passed by a vote of at least 2 to 1. according to returns now

 Time Since War
Especial from United Press.)

Baltimore, Nov. S-For the second time since the civil war, Maryland has elected a Republican Governor.
 With returns still incomplete, it is estimated that Phillipps Lee Colds borough, Republican candidate for Governor, has defeated Arthur P. Cor man, IT,, son of the late United States Senator A. H. German, and Demo- cratic nominee, by a majority of about 5000. Goldsborough's victory means a complete reorganization of the Dem ocratic party in the old line State.
 From present indications, it is be- lieved the Democrats will have a ma jority in the State Senate, while the House of Delegates is still in doubt. Three constitutional amendments-one for disfranchisement of the negroes, were defeated.

 JERSEY LEGISLATURE
Especial from United Press. )

Trenton, Nov. 8-Despite the per- sonal appeals of Governor Woodrow Wilson and his energetic campaigning for a Democratic Legislature, the next General Assembly will show Repub- lican majority of 19 members.

 Figures compiled today show that in yesterdays elections the Republicans elected 39 members of the Assembly and the Democrats 21. Of the eight State Senators elected yesterday, five were Republicans and three Demo- crats. With the hold-overs, this gives the Republicans Il State Senators and the Democrats 10.

In the northern part of Manhattan

Against this overwhelming force the
