New Haven, Nov. s3.-Commenting on the results of, yesterdays elections, former President William Howard Taft said today he was very mueh pleased at the election of former Con gressnan Samuel w Mccall as gov ernor in Massachusetts which he re- gards as significant of Republican victory in 1916. He expressed disap- point1nent at the defeat of the pro- posed new constitution in New York. /
 q am very much pleased with the election of MT. Call It is very signii- cant MT. Mccall had some local ob- structions to overcome that only those who were intimately cognizant of the conditions could understand. The fact that the Progressive, party is disap- bearing in Massachusetts practically, and that the Republican ticket is elected, is very significant to me of Republican victory in 1916.
 'sOf course, haven't heard the re- turns from Maryland and Kentucky, though there too the Republican par ty seems to have gained its old time strength by union of the previous di- visions.
