Washington, November 7.-Homer & Cummings. acting chairman of the dem ocratic national committee, said in statement tonight that the official returns must be awaited to determine "the rela- tive strength of the two parties in the House.

 eve shall be obliged said the state ment, to await the official returns to determine the relative strength of the two parties in the House. The result Tn thei Senate seems to depend upon final returns from Michigan and New Mexico. There is little reason to doubt that the democratic control of the Senate will re- main unchanged. The result throughout the country is so close that it may fairly be said that the elections constitute a drawn battle between the two political parties."

COTTON FIXING IS UNNECESSARY } COMMITTEE HOLDS Conclusion Based on Fact That There is no Prospect i've Shortage, and Mar
 ket, Assured for Grade
 Yesterday

Washington, November 6. Fixing of prices of raw cotton is unnecessary and impractical ble, President Wilson will be told by the cotton investigat- ing committee of the war in dustries board. This announce ment was made tonight by Dr. Thomas w. Page, chairman of the committee.
 The committees conclusion, pr. Page said, was based on the fact that there is no %rospective shortage of cotton and the belief that the cotton distribution committee can secure proportionate mar keting of the lower as well as the higher grades of cotton more effectively by other methods. Continuance of the work Of this committee is recommended Dr. Pages statement was said to em- body the essential points of the report which the committee will present soon would be no way of enforcing a fixed l price except through the readiness oi \ the government to purchase" the entire i cotton crop.
 This, the statement continued, would l involve the closing of cotton exchanges while merchants, bankers and other in ltermediares would be seriously affected 1 and many probably put entirely out oi business. The establishment at great cos of a governme~ system of inspection ana eertifieation d would be necessary, il was said, if price fixing were under taken.

 der. Is asked in an appeal addressed to
 President Wilson by the consolidated
 Russian provisional government at Omsk and delivered to Secretary Lansing today by Boris Bakhmeteff, Russian ambassa-
 dor to the United States.
 . After describing the reign of terror in- augurated in central Russia by the bol- sheviki and asserting that control by
 this element IS made possible only through German influence the appeal
 says aid already extended to Russia by
 the allies will be in vain if the new help arrives too late" It adds that every hour of delay threatens with lnnumer-
 able calamities Russia, the allies and other nations.
 The provisional government expects the
 aid of the allies and the United States and considers itself in the right to de- mand insistently upon such help.'' says the appeal, which is signed by Nicholas Ayksenteff, president of the provisional
 government, and Peter Vologodsky. pre- mier.
 "It is evident that the exit of Russia from the number of belligerents and the process of dismemberment which it is suffering, has a deep influence on the fate of all the other countries" said q paraphrase of the appeal made public at the Russian embassy.
 "Furthermore. the problems of the fu- 1 ture of Russia should be considered by governments and nations of the universe as problem of their own future. Rus | tia will not perish. She Is greatly suf- sering. but not dead. Her national forces | ire regaining remarkably quick and hel | sfort to recover her unity and great ' ness will not cease until she retains this ! ,ubline aim.
