OVER GAINS; TO
PARADE TONIGHT
Big Parade Tonight to Cele-
brate Victory in City, State
and Throughout Country
Three Changes in Figures.

Jubilant over their victory in this
city as we'll as Republican gains
throughout the state and nation on
election day, followers of the &. U.
P. faith of this city have arranged
for public demonstration to be held
tonight. Republicans generally from
throughout the city have been re-
quested to assemble at their head
quarters at the Madison building at
Madison avenue and Smith street at
o'clock tonight to lineup for
street parade. 1t is endeavored by
those in charge to assemble as large
a gathering as possible, that sujta-
BILE demonstration may be made.
Nelson's band will furnish music for
the occasion and there will be sur
prise in the nature of display,
which, 1t is claimed, will be amusing.
While Republicans lost in the cam
paign for congressman, three assem-
bly, candidates. sheriff and county
clerk here, they were generally sue
cessful for the higher offices about
the state and nation. So far as the
fight for two positions of coroner In
MiddleseU county were concerned,
the Republican and Democratic par
ties split even, Eugene Mullen Of this
city and John V. Hubbard, of New
Brunswick, winning out. The assem-
bly, race on the county was close and
next to these contests, the shrievalty
fight was warmest. Mr.. Houghton
was pushed through with a plurality
Of 1890. Contrary to predictions Of
Republicans, rural districts did not
support Mr.. Ten Brock as we'll as
they did Mr.. Houghton. The city of
New Brunswick came largely to his
aid, rolling up larger plurality by
705 than Perth Amboy gave Mr. Ten
Broeck OF the districts outside of
New Brunswick and Perth Amboy,
Mr.. Ten Brock carried but thirteen,
as compared with twenty-eight dis
tricts carried by Mr.. Houghton.
Revised election returns received
up to late hour today showed but
few changes in figures over those
ton of the EVENING NEWS yester-
day morning. With few rural dis
tricts in Ocean county yet to be
heard from, Congressman Thomas j.
Scully's vote in the third congress
sional district totals 21,250 against
1884 received by w. Burtis Ha-
vens. his Republican opponent. This
gives the Democratic congressman,
of South Amboy, a majority OF 2,304
in the district. There were few if
any changes in the figures received
from about the county. Mayor Ferd
Garretson received one more vote
than was accredited him In the table
published yesterday, received 237
instead of 236 in the first district of
the first ward. This makes his total
number 1850, giving him plural
of 921 Recorder H. E. Pickersgill
received seven less votes than was
accredited him, making his total o.
$50, instead of 2,737, and bringing
his plurality from 1918 to 1905.
He received 1874 instead of 189 votes
IN the third district Of the first ward,
and 1877 instead of 1919 votes in the
second district of the third ward.
Latest returns available show the
returns from the third congressional
district of this state to be as follows:
Thomas ]. Scully-Middlese county,
10,393; Monmouth county, 9,436;
Ocean county, with few outlying
districts missing, 1,421; total 21, ,250.
w. Burtis -Middlesex coun-
ty, 7,709; Monmouth county, 9,067;
Ocean county, with a few districts
unheard from, 2,170; total, 1896.
Plurality for Mr.. Scully, 2,304.
Middlesex county treated Mr.. Soul
ly better than the other counties did,
giving him a majority Of 2,648. Mon
mouth went but slightly better for
the South Amboyan, while Ocean IA
vored Mr. Haven to the extent of 749
over Mr.. Scully. When Mr.. Scully
ran against B. F. S. Brown, Pro-
gressive Republican, of Matawan, in
1912, Perth Amboy gave him 2,179
against l, 1852 for Mr.. Brown. Mid
dlesex county gave him $3.50 against
$40 for his opponent. In that year
Monmouth county gave Mr. Scully
9,307 votes over 6,843 for Mr. Brown
and Ocean county gave Mr. Brown
1850 over 1,709 for Mr. Scully. In
that year Mr.. Scully's total vote in
the district reached 20,596 against
i4,363 for Mr.. Brown, giving the Mid
dlesex man a majority of 6,233. AS
his majority on Tuesday was approx
imately 1929 with few districts in
Ocean county unheard from, 1t is
shown that while Republicans won
generally about the country, he won
with a comfortable margin. but his
majority was cut to the extent OF
1929.
II am very well pleased" said
Congressman Thomas j. Scully at
his home when informed of his re-
election. THE third congressional
district has done we'll 1t is not a
personal qualification. 1t makes me
feel good, not so much because l am
the successful candidate, but because
the people of the district have thus
expressed appreciation and approval
of what cor gress has done. The
neople of th' district have approved
of the administration Of Woodrow
Wilson. l shall go back to the House
Of Representatives with fresh de-
termination to serve the district with
energy and faithfulness and to de-
serve the confidence expressed by the
vote Tuesday. Nothing In the inter-
