Republicans Will Control Next
Congress.

Control of Congress Still in Doubt.
NEW YORK.-Early today it is not
apparent whether the democrsts or
republicans will control the next con-
gress. Party managers on both sides
predicted substantial working majori-
ties but returns now in show between
SO and rs congressional districts still
unreported
The lineup is so close that the
scales might easily turn in favor Of
either party. Ford, for U. S. senator
in Michigan, is running far behind
Newberry, republican. Folk, in Mis-
y1 IoF4 e. L.

elected.

Believe That Republicans Will Con-
troll House.
NEW YORK. Republicans have
reversed the democratic control of
the house on the face of incomplete
returns up to 8 o'clock this afternoon.
Both are claiming a majority of the
senate.
The returns indicate the member
ship of this body will be close, prob
ably a tie. With returns Of II con-
gressional districts missing the re-
publicans apparently had 225 out of
435. Democrats seemed assured of
191, socialists 1, independent 1.
The democrats have seated 40 on
the fact of the returns and the re-
publicans a similar number (this un-
doubtedly refers to the senate.-Ed.)
Reports from six contests incomplete
shows returns so far favoring three
democrats and three republicans. If
this should prove to be the result each
will have an equal number.
