conn. SURPRISES
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Small Plurality for Republicans
Cause Of Comment in Washington
Especial to the Herald)


Washington, Nov 9.The results of
the election in Connecticut were re-
| celVed with some surprise in Washing
ton. The democrats had been claim
Ing the state for Wilson. but the re-
publlcans thought there was nothing
| to it.
There was surprise expressed in
non bipartisan circles here at the small
size of the republican majority in
Connecticut; also at the election of
former Representative Lonergan, and
the defeat of former Representative
Tom Reilly. The election of the
latter was expected, but the political
prophets here did not look for the
election of Tilson. They had figured
that the latter would be beaten by
Reilly.
However, those in charge Of the ma
t1ona1 republican congressional COM
m1ttee headquarters here this morn
ing conceded the defeat Of Represent
ative Oakley. 1t is said that Loner-
cams success was attri buted to some
extent to the attitude Of labor in the
first congressional district. Mr.. Lon
ergan is we'll known to government Of
fcials and others here by reason of
his service in the last congress-
The question has been raised with
the federal reserve board whether or
rot a resident of that part of Connec-
tlcut, which is now located in the New
York federal reserve district, namely
western Connecticut, may properly be
elected as a director of Glass A of the
federal reserve bank of Boston. Dis
Cussing and deciding the question, the
board said in recent bulletin:
Section 4 of the Federal Reserve
Act provides that:
"Class A shall consist of three men,
bers, who shall be chosen by and be
| representative of the stockholding
| banks"
| There is no expressed provision
| specifying that a person to be eligible
as class A director must be resi-
deht OF the district, but the board may
| very properly rule that a director, to
| De representative Of the stockholding
ranks, must be located in the same
district as those banks. If such were
not the case it would be possible for
ali IL Feoeral Reserve Banks, for in
! stance, to elect one and the same per-
son as a class A director
| The term Representative of the
stockholding banks" must mean more
than the fact that a person is elected
by such banks, because the act pro-
/ vides that such director shall be
"chosen by and be representative Of
| such banks.
| 1t is the opinion of the board. there
| fore, that though the Federal Re-
serve Act does not specifically re-
quire that a class A director shall be
q resident of the district nevertheless
congress clearly intended that all Of
| the class A directors should not mere
| Iy be elected by the member banks
but that they should also be truly
representative of them and that to
insure compliance with this latter re-
| quirement such directors should be
residents of the district

OUIGLEY FOR CONGRESS.

Discussing the results of the cleo
ton in New Britain and vicinity to-
day, Mayor G.. A. Quigley let it be
known that he might be considered
as an aspirant for congress two years
hence. It is thought that the reason
Mayor Quigley withdrew from con-
test for representative some weeks
ago may have a bearing on this ques-
ton of higher political honors. His
strength in New Britain if continued
unbroken for two years more would
make him a formidable contestant
for congressional honOrs.

WILSON CALMLY
AWAITS VERDICT
Confident Final Returns Will
Show Him to Be Reelected

Long Branch, Nov. 9.-President
Wilson got up shortly before o'clock
this morning to hear again that the
outcome of Tuesdays election was mot
vet certain. He read the morning
newspapers before breakfast and
planned to take an automobile ride
later.
Mr.. Wilson's first questions had to
do with California, Minnesota, New
Mexico and North Dakota, the states
on which the result largely hinged.
When informed that definite word had
been received from none of those
states he realized that he would have
to wait longer for the final outcome.
1t was taken for granted among
officials here that there would be re-
counts in several of the very close
states, and it was believed that weeks
might pass before questions involved
are settled.
The president remained in a cheer
full mood today and believed that the
result would eventually favor him. AS
the returns began coming in this
morning at the executive offices, they
were promptly telephoned 10 MIN at
Shadow Lawn.
The president will leave from Allan
tic Highlands in the naval yacht May
flower late this afternoon or tonight
on his way to Rhinecliff, N. Y, where
he is to take a train at 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning for Williamstown,
Mass There he will act as godfather
for the child of Mrs. Francis B. Sayre,
his daughter, tomorrow.
Miss Margaret Wilson, who is stop
ring a tShadow Lown with her father,
showed particular interest in the re-
turns. Before the president was Cup
Miss Wilson called the executive
offices to receive returns The early
reports showing Mr.. Wilson leading
in California, North Dakota and New
Hampshire, three of the doubtful
states were carried by her to the
president.
President Wilson was informed at
1925 o'clock in a telegram from
Senator Hollis of New Hampshire of

turns giving Wilson a lead Of SO

Mr.. Wilson had carried the state by
that plurality.
Congratulations" he cocluded.
given complete summary of the
news to date, including word that
Senator Hollis claimed New Hamp-
shire. Although the word transmitted
to Mr. Wilson was almost entirely
favorable, he reserved judgment.
/ President Wilson expects to reach
WiIliamstown at 1870 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon, remaining there until
1928 Saturday afternoon, arriving in
Washington at 9:15 Sunday night.
He will make the trip from Rhine
cHffe, N. Y, to New York city on
the return trip down the Hudson
river on the Mayfiower. He will be
accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, Miss
Margaret Wilson, Miss Helen Wood
row Bones, his cousin, and DR.. Gray
son, the White House physicians.
Arrangements will be made for MIR.
Wilson to receive election returns
during the trip.

ralities in Illinois kept growing today
as late returns came in. Hughes

the 1856, 900 mark, and seemed des

rality of Frank o. Lowden, republican
nominee for governor over Governor
Dunn, democrat, appeared to be rang
Ing around the 10000 mark.
