Washington, Nov. with control
Of the House OF Representatives
placed in. the hands of the Republic
ans by q majority Of sixteen and prob
ably more. the attention Of the coun-
try Wednesday night was conferred on
contests in three states-Michigan
Idaho and New Mexico-which will
decide whether the Democrats shall
lose control of the Senate as we'll.
The contests which will decide the
political complexion Of the Senate
were very close. AS the Senate
stands without decision In these con
tests there are forty-six Democrats
and forty-seven Republicans.
At midnight returns. from five con
gressional districts we're missing-in
Montana, New Mexico and South Da-
kota.
Without them, however, the Repub-
iicans have won 234 seats in the House
Of Representatives. more than
the l1S necessary for a majority.
The Democrats, on the face OF these
returns, had 1876 seats, and II the five
missing districts were to be conceded
to them they still would lack eighteen
votes Of the number necessary to CON
troll the House.
Wednesday nights returns show
plainly that Speaker Clark, instead OF
being defeated, as was reported Tues
day night as likely. has been reelected
by Q substantial majority.
In Michigan the race between Henri
Ford and Truman H. Newberry was
so close that It was said an official
count may decide the winner.
With the House firmly in the hands
IF the Republicans, control of the Sen
ate is more important than ever to
the Democratic administration. II tn.
administration can retain control Of
the Senate It can in q large measure
check the activities Of Republican
House. It 10 doubly important to the
national administration because Of the
part which the constitution assigns to
the Senate In the Publications of the
peace treaties which will end the
world war.
In the Senate reposes the preroga.
tive Of ratifying any treaties which the
President may make.
With the senatorial returns still
missing from Michigan. Idaho and
New Mexico, the figures showed that
the Republicans had lost one-thst Of
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts
while the Democrats had lost six. The
senators who will be retired are Shat
roth Of Colorado. Salisbury Of Della
ware. Lewis Of Illinois, Thompson Of
Kansas, Whitley OF Missouri, and Hol.

that the building Is only Ave stories
along Forty-second street. covering

extends back "a feet at the easterly

Forty second to forty-third street from
the New York Central for twenty-one
years with two renewals at an aggre-

New York Central built the six story
