Washington, Nov. 12.-Members of

of the most uncertain organization sit

DEMOCRATS WILL ATTEMPT TO
COMPLETE PROGRAM BEFORE MARCH
Latest Returns Give Republicans Plurality of
Four or Five Members over the Democrats
Speaker Clark May A d on Contest and
Make Bid for Minority Leadership

New York, Nov. 1.-THE Re-
ublicans will have 217 votes in
the next Congress, according to
the latest returns available to-
night. This is an increase of one
in the total Republican member
ship previously reported. The
change is based on reports from
the sixth New Jersey district,
showing the election of John H.
Ramsay, Republican, by a plural
ity of about 1900 over Robert
Heath, Democrat. 1t does not
take into account a probable con-
test in the 10th North Carolina
district, the third New Jersey,
where Thomas J. Scully, Demo-
crat, claims to have been elected
by a plurality of IA votes or the
18th Iowa or third Louisiana dis
tricts, where the pluralities are
so small that recounts are consid-
cred probable. The election of
Mr.. Ramsay from New Jersey
and the consequent loss of one
Democrat from that state leaves
the Democrat membership of the
House at PIP as indicated by re-
turns thus far received. All 9TH
er parties have elected six men,
bers. On the face of the present
figures the Republicans fall one
short of the 218 votes necessary
for working majority.
