Ford Beaten for
Michigan Senator
By Small Majority
Republicans Claim Newber.
ry's Election by 5000 and
Recount May Be Asked

DETROIT. Nov. 6.--Commander Tru
man H. Newberry had lead of $3.50
votes over Henry Ford tonight, with
Wayne County and Detroit City COM
plete and but PIT state precincts unre-
ported. These missing precincts are
expected to about balance each other.
The Newberry committee expects that
the commanders lead will be about
5000.
At one time to-day Newberry's lead
had been cut until it was less than
two thousand. This was when the
reached Upstate returns continued to
come in favorably, however. and after
Wayne County was complete the total
began to rise.
If the majority of the Republican
candidate is 5000 or 10000 the chances
Of a recount being demanded are not
great, but If they are under those
figures the exact results of Michigan's
Senatorial fight may not be definitely
decided for some time When it
looked for time to-day as if the New
berry lead was to be reduced to the
barest margin, Ebert H. Fowler
secretary of the Ford "non-partisan'
committee, wired to Governor Sleeper

The Ford avalanche IN Detroit wa:
one of the biggest surprises of tn

received with much surprise.
House Can Reject Berger
Neither Democrats nor Republicans
are claiming any support from Victor
Berger, the Socialist candidate elected
in Milwaukee. In Republican circles
it is predicted that Berger, who is un-
der indictment for sed.tion. will never
be seated by the House. In this con-
Mection it is pointed out. that the
House is the sole judge Of its own
membership and can in its discretion
pass on the qualifications of any mem

1t is expected the Democrats will
precipitate further inquiry of the
election expenses Of Commander New
berry, reported to have defeated Henry
Ford in Michigan. The Republicans, it
is predicted, will welcome such an in
vestigation and will aid in every way
to make it exhaustive.
The single great disappointment of
the Republicans in the election results
was the defeat of Senator Weeks in
Massachusetts. Responsibility for this
is laid at the door of Governor Mccall,
who ISSUED an eleventh hour public
statement attacking both Senators
Weeks and Lodge and urging support
eramme and inferentially suggesting
that Massachusetts, voters scratch
Senator Weeks on the Republican
ticket.
While other factors contributed tt
Senator Weeks's defeat, the Governors

371,2l2 New York
Women Cast Votes
At First Election

There were 371,212 women who voted
in greater New York on Tuesday, ac-
cording to Miss Mary Garrett Hay
chairman of the Woman Suffrage party,
who yesterday succumbed to the lure
of after-electon statistics and spent
the morning figuring out the extent
of the woman vote. No system had
been devised for taking an actual
count of the women who voted. so Miss
Hays figures, she admitted, were based
on percentages. She found that 89l:
per cent of the women who registered
had voted.
This splendid showing on the part
of the women is especially gratlfving,'
she said, when one realizes that the
short political campaign, the influenza
epidemic, war excitement and activi-
ties like the Liberty Loan, were all in
strumental in divertt;ng attention
from politics.
Suffragists believe that in more nor
NAL times the percentage of women
who registered and voted will be much
higher. New York women have helped
refute the time-worn anti-suHrage
argument that women will not use the
vote when it is given to them"
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait. president
of the National American Woman Suf
frage Association, made a tour of many
polling places on Tuesday, and dis
covered that the woman vote was
the smallest in the so-called Socialist
strongholds. She called attention to
this yesterday as showing the fallacy
of the anti-suffrage charge that the
strength of the suffragists was in So
cialist districts.
Miss Hay, using the registration fig-
ures as a basis, computed the number
of women voting in the five boroughs

Republican Gains
Exceed Expectations,
Chairman Hays Says

Congratulations poured into the
headquarters of the Republican Ma
tional Committee yesterday from prac-
tically every state in the Union, Chair
man Hays being the general and happy
receiver, over winning control of the
Senate and House at the polls on Tues
day.
Chairman Hays began his days work
ioyously after receiving the following
message from his home state:
We beg to report that Indiana will
be represented in the next Congress
by thirteen Republicans out of a pos
sible thirteen. Sorry we could not do
more. The Republican plurality in
Indiana will be in excess of so 900.
Legislature overwhelmingly Republi-
can. Heartiest congratulations. Trust
that you will not be embarrassed by
this showing. Indiana will never re-
pudiatc you.

Governor Mccall
Blamed for Defeat
Of Senator Weeks
Bay State Republicans Say
Chief Executive Aided
Walsh, Democrat
(Spec;nl Dispatch to The Tribune

Especial Dispatch to The Tribune>
BOSTON, Nov. 6.--Responsibility for
the defeat of John w. Weeks Ior re-
election to the United States Senate IS
placed by Republican leaders at the
door of Governor Samuel w. Mccall.
Governor Mccall made an abortlve at
tempt to secure the nomination last
summer and since then, according to
friends of Senator Weeks, he not only
has refused to assist Weeks in his fight,
but covertly at first and at last almost
openly gave aid to David l. Walsh, the
Democratic nominee.
In return for the assistance given
Walsh, Governor McCall's friends be-
lieve, he will be taken care of after his
retirement from the Governorship next
January by appointment to the Inter
state Commerce Commission or some
thing equally as good. he has been
mentioned for this place in the past
but it is understood that he woulc
prefer an appointment to the Federal
bench.
The McCall-W Weeks feud dates bacl
to 1919 when Murray Crane let it be
known that he would not be candidate
for reelection to the Senate. Mccall
was a candidate for the place, but
| Weeks got the plum. Subsequently
! Mccall was given the consolation prize
! of Governor. He is now serving hi!
second term and might have had thire
had he not declined to be candidate
in order to oppose Mr.. Weeks for thu
denomination.
This candidacy was short-lived, Nc
Call retiring from the race when it be
came apparent that at best he woult
have to make q hard campaign to hav'
any chance of winning.
Before his retirement from the rae
he conferred with President Wilson
during the latter's visit to the Nortl
Shore last summer.
Subsequently McaClFs kinsmar
Thomas w. Lawson, announced his can
didacy for the Senate as an indepen
dent. He was frankly out to defea
Weeks, and in his campaign he ha
the assistance of many of Mccall
closest friends and lieutenants. II
was in close touch with Lawson ane
so far as popular belief went, was Nc
Calls candidate.
McCal's final blow TO Weeks came i
the losing days of the campaign whe
he indorsed President Wilson's appea
for support in Congress.

Democratic Control
OF Congress Claimed
By National Chairman
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune

Especial Dispatch to The 7r,bune)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Democratic
headquarters here was claiming con-
troll of both Senate and House at a
late hour tonight.
In public statement Chairman
Cummings said:
"The claims of victory made by the
leaders OF the Republican organization
have been premature. We shall hold
the Senate and organize the House. An
estimate Of the popular vote through
out the country, together with the
great victory in Massachusetts. New
York and Ohio, indicates popular ap-
proval of the policies of the Adminis-
tration. The great reduction, almost
to the vanishing point, of the large
normal Republican majorities in New
Jersey and Illinois is significant of the
general temper of our people. The at
tempt of the leaders of the Republican
organization to engineer a rebuke to
the President has failed"

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.-Unofficial
reports Of Tuesdays election show the
return of Republican majorities in both

Events have been necessary to edu-

become as one man for forcing this
war to an unconditional surrender. 1t
was unfortunate for the President and
his party that his opening note to Ger

the people lest he might make a peace
by negotiation, and when his prestige
was thus affected he wrote the appea

next two years, and in which he re
