WASHINGTON, Nov 4-Althousa
IS congressional districts were un-.
heard from at noon today, Democratic
leaders were confident that the ad-
ministration would retain control OF
congress, although the majority In
the House might be cut from its pres
ent strength to as low as 25 or 10.
After a conference of national
Democratic committee officials at the
White House with President Wilson
and Secretary Tumulty, 1t was estt'
mated that the Democratic majority
might possibly stand at 80.
The varying reports of the senate
contest in Nevada. California, Kan
sas and Colorado gave no promise OF
reducing the Democratic majority OF
S. Reports to the national Demo-
cratic committee wers saaid to tndt-
cate the election of James Phelan, OF
California to succeed Senator Per-
kins, u Republican. and the rcelec-
tion OF Senator'S Newlands and Thom-
as, of Nevada and Colorado. In Kan
sas. close contest for the scat OF
Senator Bristow seemed to be be-
tween Representative Murdoch, Pro-
rrcssive, and former Senator Curtis.
IRcpublican, leading Mr.. Neeley, Dem
.ocratic candidate, behind.
At noon, with IS congressional
districts missing, the election OF lS6
Democrats. 162 Republicans and 8
Progressives was reported. The pres
ent complexfcn of the. House is 2S5
Democrats, 129 Republicans. 15 Pro-
gressiyes and yacances. The noon
returns show gain of SO Republic
cans. At that hour the 22nd district
in New York, six in Pennsylvania.
twelve in Missouri. ten in Minnesota
S In California and other, were un-
reported.
IL takes 21S for majority in the
House. To fulfill predictions Of DEM
ocratic leaders of majority of 80,
1t is necessary for IS of the unreport-
ed districts to be Democratic. They
are claimed by the leaders.

Telegram Says Wire Thirty Beans at Once" and Germans
 Arrest American for CompIica-
 tiOnS in Great Bomb" Plot

NEW YORK. Sept 12-Dr Alex ander Becker, instructor in the Brook lyn school, who arrived on the steam CT Acona told of his arrest in Ger many on suspician of being a spy as the result of receiving a message written in slang from a friend in Italy.
 The message which caused the ar. rest of Becker was: "Kale all gone wire thirty beans at once" When the German censor at Marklrch in Alsace, intercepted this message, the strange words evidently aroused his suspicion.
 "Kale" looked somewhat like "Kehl," a town in Baden on the Rhine and beans" bore some resem- blance to bombs" and apparently the censor concluded Becker was im- plicated in a plot to blow up the big bridge at Kehl.
 Becker was kept in a cell thirty hours and then given twelve hours to leave Germany, when he fled to Switzerland Later he met friends in Naples, the latter explaining that as soon as war broke out the bank where they kept their money was closed SO they appealed to Becker for funds, using the slang.
