RpDublicallS in Control.

Concord N. H., Jan. 6.-In contrast tc the legislature of 1913, which was in control of a combination of demo- crats and progressives, the house and senate which met today in biennial session are strongly republican. Con sequently the opposition to the elec- tion of George I. Hazelton of Man chester, for president of the senate, Edwin r c. Beam of Belmont for speaker of the house and the other republican caucus nominees, was only nominal Governor Roland H. Spaulding, republican. will deliver his inaugural address tomorrow.
 Contest for Speakership.
 Montpelier, Vt., Jan. GA contest for the speakership of the house ap- peared probable when the members gathered for the opening of the bien- nial session of the legislature today. The aspirants, John E. Weeks of Mid dlebury and Stanley C. Wilson of Chelsea, both are republicans, their party having a majority of 107 in the house. The senate is solidly repub lican. Charles w.

GAINS AND LOSSES
 NOTED IN MARKET

 SIOAS From Best.

New York, Jan. 6, Wall street, 10:30 a. m.-The only notable feature of to- days stock market was its refusal to follow the lead of London, where Americans again were lower, with losses of a point or more in several transcontinental issues. Early quo tations were a mixture of gains and losses, most of the leaders showing little change either way. There were one point gains however, in such specialties as National Biscuit, Texas company and Sloss> Sheffield Steel. Trading was the lightest of any re- cent day, a tie-up of the local trans portation system causing some con- fusion and delay in the financial dis trict. .-E s

Prospect of Deadlock.

Augusta, Me, Jan. 6.-Although the republicans in the senate and the democrats in the house were in a po- sition to control the choice of officers by clear majorities in the respective branches, there was a prospect of a deadlock on matters requiring a joint ballot when the legislature met to- day. On such a ballot the dem ocrats will have 91 votes, republicans S7 and progressives four, so that combination of republicans and pro- gressives against the democrats would produce tie vote. The progressives last night nominated state officers to be chosen by the legislature. As a majority vote is required to elect, this implied refusal to support the dem ocrats seemed likely to precipitate a deadlock on the opening day
 The inaugural address of Oakley C. Curtis, democrat, as governor, will be delivered tomorrow.
 Initial Session Short.
 Albany. N. Y, Jan. 6.-The initial session of the 1915 legislature today was to be short. The plan was to meet at noon, elect leaders, hear the governors message and then adjourn for a week.
 Thus far there is no sign of seri- ous defection in the ranking of the controlling party, the republicans, over anything.
 There are ninety-nine republicans, forty mine democrats and two pro- gressives in the assembly.
 The senate embraces thirty three republicans, seventeen democrats and one ican-prOgreSsiVe The at titude of the latter has not been an nounced.
 Gov. Hammond Inaugurated.
 St. Paul. Min, Jan. 6.-Winfield Scott Hammond, democrat, was sworn in today as Minnesotas eighteenth governor. In his inaugural address he urged that a temperance law be passed early in the session of the legislature.

 To Maintain Record.
 Boston, Jan. 6.-The great and gen eral court of Massachusetts, which convened today, promises to maintain it's record of holding longer sessions than other state legislatures. The usual flood of bills has been filed and many subjects of importance are to be considered.
 Today was given over to organiza- ton. As the republicans have a large majority in both branches the elec- ton of senate and house officials was merely a ratification of the caucus action of that party. President Cal vim Coolidge of the senate was re- r nominated last night. The republi- can house caucus and the dem ocratic caucuses in both branches were held before the legislature met today. Governor David l. Walsh, democrat, will be inaugurated for a second term tomorrow.
