Try at large, Indicated that the demo-
crat. still control congress. They
have uaIned at least one United
states senator and In the house while
their majority dwindIed down to
small wedge, Il was believed today
TO be certain that they would have
a majority Of about twenty. The re-
bublicans, however, declined TO con-
cede thIs and inasmuch 40 the count
in the west was very slow, i was un-
likely that complete, correct figures
would be available before late to-
night. & e 3

The republicans won back their
two seats in New Hampshire, Repre-

back after two years on the shelf
and Edward II. WATSON, winning in
the second district. The republicans
gained one representative In Rhode
Island, three In Massachusetts, five

centase Of gains held good through
out the country. President Wilson lost
his home congregational district and
New Jersey generally swung back to
the republican column. "UneIe joe

The best estimates available at
1880 today was that the next house
OF representatives. would comprise 227
democrats; 1873 republicans; seven
progressIves and three socialists.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Neither
republicans nor democrats will control
the next house of congress, the repub-

tee announced this afternoon. We
claim election of 213 republicans,
four progressives, one independent

the democrats will have plurality OF
two, but in order to get majority in
a full vote, 1t would be necessary for

tion, it was pointed out by the repub-
fcans, would probably lead to most
Interesting fight on the speakership.

cred privately by administration au-
thorities today as a cataclism. they

tia1 results in 1916 will spell only
