Confirmation came OF the defeat of
Senator Sutherland. Republican, OF
Utah. by VIII H. King.
The indications are also that Sena-
tor Clark has been defeated in wyo-
ming by ]. B. Kendrick, the Demo-
cratic candidate.
The results in Arizona. New Mexico
and Nevada are still In doubt, with
the Democratic candidates ahead in
Arizona and Nevada and the Republi-
can candidate slightly in the lead in
New Mexico.
The result in Montana will not be
known, in all likelihood, until the final
returns are in. Senator Myers, Demo-
crat, is slightly behind former Con-
gresham Pray. the Republican candi-
date. now. Thus far none OF the noted
national leaders In the House has
been defeated.

Hughes May Win Washington EIecto

Tacoma, Wash.-There appears to
be possibility, although President
Wilson carried Washington. that
iughes may get one of the seven
electoral votes of Washington. The
death OF A. Stream, Democratic
elector, shortly before election and
the substitution of E. NJ. Connor as
elector came so late that in many
counties the names of Stream rather
than Conner appeared on the ballot.
1t is said that thousands of voters.
voted for Stream and that these votes
will be invalid and the difference may
be sufficient, according to local Re.
publicans, to give one Republican
elector plurality.
