Further election returns from close
congressional districts last night made
slight reclassification of the member
ship of the next House of Representa-
tives, to take office March 4, 1917. The
present makeup is fixed at 216 repub-
licans, 213 democrats and six of other
parties. There are indications that
these figures may be changed again, as
recounts have been demanded in some
- the close districts. In North Caro-

been reelected. every attempt will be
made by democrats to find defective
