LING PROBABLY
 IS COMMITTEEMAN
Ed L. Shaw of Phoenix Is Evidently Choice of Mari copa County District for Delegate to the Baltimore Convention.

The democratic primaries in Mar iIopa county resulted in the choice af Ed L. Shaw for delegate from this district to the Baltimore convention and the endorsement of Eugene Brady O'NeiU for national committeeman for Arizona.
 Definite returns had been received al q late hour from only the larger precincts and they indicated d ma jority for Shaw over l. Wolpe of about 15O according to early esti- mates from the larger precincts. O'Nenrs majority over Reese NJ. Ling IS estimated at 100.
 Shaw carried Phoenix by fifty. Mesa by about the same majority and Osborn by thirty. The smaller precincts were expected to add to his lead
 Supporters of WoIpe late last night said that from information they could gather from all precincts in the coun- ty but three the majority for Shaw had been reduced to 60. Two of these precincts were Wickenburg and Agua Caliente. They professed hope that Wolpe might have q slight lead on complete returns.
 Charles Woolf carried his home pre- cinct of Tempe and to the surprise of the election officers and spectators present at the count. MT Woolf re- ccived thirteen votes in the Third "ard of Phoenix How that happen ed was suggested in statement that thirteen voters had been misled by the similarity between the names of Woolf and Wolpe. The latter carried that ward by a single vote
 Another surprising thing about the Phoenix primaries was the large col bred vote which found it's way into the democratic ballot boxes
 THE STATE AT LARGE
 Returns from the outside counties Were by no means complete 50 that only one thing is absolutely certain and that the preference for Champ Clark was unexpectedly overwhelming
 Such returns as were received UP to o'clock this morning indicated the endorsement of Reese NJ. Ling for national committeeman. His vic tory in Cochise county was over whelming. though the friends of Eu- gene Brady O'Neu had counted upon heavy majority in that county The majority for Ling in Yavapai was also unexpectedly large and it is as sumed that he was strongly supported by the entire northern tier Of coun- ties
 The majorities for O'NeilI in Mar icopa and Yuma will probably aggre- gate roo. In all the other southern counties heard from the margin was narrow The friends of Ling have also all along claimed support iron GreenIee and Graham which were mol heard from last night

CONTROL OF SENATE.
Seems Likely to Pass to the Demo-
Gratis in Next Congress.

washington, Nov. 6.-With an over
whelming Democratic majority in the
house returns today indicate prob
ability of the success of a sufficient
number of Democrat senatorial cand1-
datse to give the Democrats control of
both branches of congress. There still
is sufficient uncertainty from the new
state legislatures to make the senate
situation indefinite.
In the present light, forty-four of
the ninety-six senators may be as
signed definitely to the Democrats these
are the thirty holdover senators, the
FIVE already elected from Alabama,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Virginia and the nine chosen from
southern states in which Democratic
legislatures are supposed to have been
elected.
To insure the forty-nine votes, neces-
sary to control there must be a further
gain of five senators, all of which must
come from states now represented in
the senate by Republicans unless West
Virginia be counted in the list. The
chances are believed to be strongly
favorable to the Democrats in Colorado
Gin which state two senators are to be
chosen) and in Montana and more or
less so in Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada
and Oregon. OF these seven places
still in doubt any five will give the
forty-nine votes necessary to a ma

New YORK stock NIarket.

Wall St, New York, Nov. 6.-STOCKS-
The result of the presidential election
left Wall Street in doubt today, judging
from the early course of the market.
Opening prices showed marked advances
in the speculative issues but the first
dull streak was followed by heavy offer
ings which soon wiped out most gains.
Then came a renewed demand in smaller
volume which largely restored the early
rise Beet Sugar, whose fortunes are
linked with the tariff, added points to
it's recent decline and American Sugar
also fell. Money eaSed off to per cent
Bonds were steady.
Moderate strength was shown by the
stock market at today's opening, but
gains of a point or more in number OF
the better known issues soon changed
to losses. The sugar stockes were again
decidedly weak, and Northern Pacific and
Steel fell a point. Dealings were fairly
large but without the excitement usual
to the day following a national election
