WASHINGTON, Nov. i.-The death

Rhode Island apparently breaks the
deadlock in which the house OF repre-.

called 10 elect a president.
Tn to the time OF Mr.. Utter death
the house was equally divided. Rep

Democratic. twenty-five Republican and
the delegates of four remaining states
were equally divided between Republi,
cans and Democrats.
Rhode Island was one of the states
in which the delegation was equally di'
vidcd. and Utter's death. should his
nlace be not filled by Il Republican to
Snish the remainder of his term, would
throw Rhode Island TO the Democratic
column.
Throwing Rhode Island to the Demo
cratic column, however. would not per
nit an election by the house because
the constitution requires a majority OF
the states. This would be twenty-five
Mr.. Uttcr's death, however, does break
the equal division between Republicans
