MAJORITY OF ONE OR REPUB~
LICAN CONTROL RESULT OF
ELECTION.
SENATE TO BE REDUCED
Result Depends On New Mexfco's
Choice For Representative In
Upper House.

New fork, Nov. 9.-Altho the
Democrats are assured control of the
Senate by a working majority, con-
troll of the House was still in doubt
at an early hour to-day. The Dem
ocrats had made slight gains, how
ever, in the late returns in Montana
and Kansas. At 1 o'clock, 205 Dem
ocrats. 201 Republicans. Progress
sives, l Socialist and 1 Independent
had been elected with twenty-five
congressional districts yet to be heard
from.
OF twenty-five districts yet to De
heard from, seventeen are represent
ed in the present Congress by Demo-
Gratis and thirteen by Republicans.
Should these districts be unchanged
the next House would be composed
of ZIG Democrats, 215 Republicans,
and four scattering who might elect
to affiliate with either side.
The Senate will remain under DEM
ocratic control by reduced MAORI
ty of ten or twelve. dependent on the
outcome in New Mexico, where A. A.
Jones, Democrat. is maintaining a
slight lead over Frank A. HubbeeI,
nominated by the Republicans to sue
coed Senator Catron. At this hour
the Senate stands:
Democrats, SO; Republicans, AZ;
undecided, /.
cratic members, according to the la
test indications, have been defeated.
They are Senators Kern and Tag
CART. of Indiana; MARITIME, of New
Jersey, and Chiffon, of West Virgin
ia. Three Republican Senator'S, Lip
pitt, of Rhode Island; Clark, of Wy
oming. and Sutherland, of Utah, al
so have lost their seats on the basis
of returns.
The defeat of Senator Kern, of In
diana, by Harry s. New, former chair
man of the Republican National COM
mittee takes from the Democratic or
ganization it's floor leader. Among
Democratic Senators mentioned for
the succession are Salisbury, of Mon
tana. and Underwood, of Alabama.

Gratis elected sixteen Senators and the
Republicans sixteen, with one State
