NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-WhiIe late and
complete returns today emphasized the
sweep Of the Republican victories in
various States I'm cutting the Demo-
cratic majority in the House from 14l
to 10, the complete eclipse of the Pro-
gressives also became more apparent
If the claims of the Socialists prove to
be true the Progressives in New York
have dropped from the position Of the
third party to the fifth.
The Socialists succeeded in electing a
Congressman in New York in Meyer
London, of the Twelfth district, where
the Progressives failed. Frederick
Davenport. Progressive, polled only ST.
192 votes for governor, running far be-
hind William Sulzer. who trailed be-
hind Glynn and Whitman. Charles Ed
ward Russell Socialist candidate for
governor in 1912, polled 56,917 votes.
Gustav A. Strebel was the candidate
this year. and If he has run as well as
did Russell, the Socialists vote exceeds
that of the Progressives. Socialists
claim their vote this year will total
Is, 900, which would establish them we'll
ahead of the Progressives.
Socialist Vote Increasing
Although Galord and Berger, the So
cialist candidates for Congress in Wis
consin., were defeated after a close race,
Socialists believe the election of Lon
don clearly indicates their increasing
strength as they have now succeeded
in electing Congressman in widely sep
arated sections Of the country, Berger
having served a term before his de-
feat two years ago.
The Senatorial fights in Nevada, Kan
sas, and South Dakota were still in
doubt early today, but it is certain that

draw SO far as Pennsylvania and Illi-
nois are concerned. Boies Penrose was
returned to the Senate from Pennsyl-
vania, while late returns show that
| Roger Sullivan was defeated in Illi-
nois by Senator Sherman.
Pennsylvania Split Vote.
Pennsylvania voters made a distinc-
| ton between Penrose and the rest of
the Republican ticket, and had the
,, Democrats and Progressives united upon
one candidate against him 1t Is be-
| lieved he might have been defeated.
Governor-eiect Brumbaugh, Republican,
has a majority of 139 Oh over Vance Nc
Cormick, who had the support of the
Democrats and Progressives.
Pinchot and Palmer, Penrose's two op-
1880 over him. Colonel Roosevelt
wanted the Democrats to withdraw
Palmer and support Pinchot, but they
refused.
Whitman's Lead Grows.
The lead Of Governor-elect Whitman
over Governor Glynn has gradually in
! creased with late returns. 1t is now GER
| tain that Glynn did not carry a single
county outside of Greater New York.
and Whitmans lead will reach about
| 13l, 900. 1t now appears, however, that
| the landslide failed to carry one Repub-
| lican candidate on the State ticket into
office. He Is Emory Chase, candidate
| for the court Of appeals bench. 1t now
appears that Chase was beaten by JUS
| tice Samuel Seabury.
