Lower Body Republican by II
Is Prediction of Chair
man Woods.
MARYLAND SEAT DOUBTFUL

Following a nationwide canvass, the
republican national congressional COM
mittee, through its chairman. Repre-
sentative Frank P. Woods of Iowa,
predicted the election of Hughes and
Fairbanks. claims a republican House
of Representatives by twenty-seven
majority and a chance. figured at
little better than even, of obtaining
majority in the Senate. The figures on
which this forecast are based are much
more hopeful to the republican cause
than were figures obtained in the heat
of the campaign several weeks ago.
The managers express the confident
belief that there has been a strong
party in districts and states which
were in a state of confusion earlier
In the campaign.
The twenty-seven majority claimed
by Representative Woods are as sure
as anything human can be, according
to Representative Woods own esti-
mate of his canvass.
Eight Districts Are Doubtful.
In addition there are eight doubtful
districts which now appear to have
these districts go republican, the re-
publican congressional committee will
be satisfied. There are also fourteen
close districts claimed by both parties,
but which the congressional committee
of the republican party declares have
stronger chances to go democratic.
Exactly where these districts are To-
Gated is information which the repub-
lican committee is withholding from
lieved one of the doubtful districts
with republican leanings is in New
York. Another is supposed to be in
Maryland.
There is a chance that the republican
congressional chances will suffer II
Hughes polls low vote in Ohio and
some of the other middle west states.
Statement of Chairman Woods.
Representative Woods statement is
as follows:
by a satisfactory majority. The next
House of Representatives will have. a
republican majority of at least twenty
seven. The republicans have better
than an even chance Of controlling the
Senate.
These figures are not a mere guess
They constitute a summary of the final
reports made to this committee to date
by hundreds of careful, experienced
workers, who sent their Information.
not with the idea of making as f1atter-
ing report as possible, but in order
to give the exact situation in their re-
spective communities on the eve OF
election.
II am confident of the soundness of
my information. and therefore say that
there is a practical certainty of the
election of Mr.. Hughes and a repub-
lean House. and better than a fifty.
fifty prospect of a republican control
of the Senate"
