Democratic candidate for Congress from
the Twelfth New Jersey district, would

Some of the returns from Hudson

specia! Despatch TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
NEW HAVEN, Nov. Harding has
carried Connecticut's seven electoral
votes by about $4,000 plurality, the early
estimate being:
For Harding, zoo, 900; Cox. 10000.
Senator Frank B. Brandegee is re-
elected to the United States Senate over
his Democratic opponent. Representative
Augustin Lonergan of Hartford, though
Brandegee ran behind his ticket. Incom-
plete returns indicate he will get total
Of about $4,000 to $50, 900 for Lonersan,
With women voting, it was the largest
ever polled in Connecticut, but aside
rom that campaign experts were amazed
at the tremendous vote. most of which
was cast early. 1t appears that the
biggest city in the State. New Haven,
went Republican by about 10000 and
Bridgeport by about 5000. On the other
hand, the capital city. Hartford. gave
Harding 1000 plurality and failed to
support its fellow townsman, Lonergan,
giving Senator Brandegee 19,34S to
17,347 for Lonergan.
Probably all the five Republican Rep
resentatives in Congress are elected,
though In the First district. which Is
Hartford county, now represented by
Acting Representative Lonergan. 1t is
still close fight between Mayor Joseph
F. Outer of Bristol and his Republican
opponent, E. Hart Fem Of Wethersfield.
In the other four districts the present
Republican incumbents are returned
handily. as follows Richard =. Free
man. Second district John Q. Ttlson.
Third district; Schuyler Merritt. Fourth
district James p. Glynn. Fifth district.
Everett j. Lake of Hartford is elected
Governor over the Democratic aspirant,
Rolin U. Tyler of Haddam, by vote OF
about 10000 to $4,000.
Apparently about 80 per cent. Of the
new women voters went to the polls. and
in general they split about fifty-flfty,
with the final result that the normal
male vote was merely doubled.

bers OF the State House OF Assembly
and fifteen of the twenty-one members
of the State Senate or eight State
Senators elected yesterday seven are Re-
publicans
A remarkable feature Of the Repub-
lican showing indicated by these re-
turns is that Hudson county. normally
Democratic by from Is 900 to 10000,
went for Harding and Coolidge by about
5000, according to the Governors Office.
Essex county gave the Republican ma
tional ticket plurality estimated at
20. 900 and Bergen county did the same,
Republican leaders said, and it was not

tersby of Jersey City, a Democrat. said
that he thought Harding and Coolidge
had taken Jersey City by 5000.
Close I'm Hudson County.
The voting in Hudson county, Demo-
cratic stronghold. was very close, re-
ports giving the advantage first to Har-
ding then to Cox. The returns were late
the large number of women who voted
for the first time. Republicans believed
that their votes We're cast for the most
part for Harding and Coolidge. 1t was
recalled that a year ago Gov. Edwards
was elected by $4,000 plurality on wet
platform. but that then women did not
vote.
In Newark and Essex counties the
vote was counted slowly. but the first
returns indicated that the Republicans
would carry Essex and the city.
A fair criterion of the slowness of
the counting and also OH how the vote
ran was the following report received
at midnight: Sixty-four districts out of
2,046 in the State gave Harding and
Coolidge $500, Cox and Roosevelt 1895
and Debs SO.
Early reports from various counties
indicated also that Of eight members of
the Legislature voted on yesterday five
would be Republican.
The situation in Hudson county. pro-
verbal Democratic stronghold, appeared
most interesting In the light of early re-
ports. 1t seemed likely that the Demo-
cratic pluralities Of other years would be
cut materially and that Senator Harding
was making showing better than even
optimistic Republicans might have ex
pected. Some early district returns
showed Harding leading in these dis
tricts by n twenty per cent. plurality and
all later reports showed Coxs lead over
Harding. where there was such a lead,
as by no means overwhelming.

Possibly there has not been time in
many years when there was more inter-
est and expectation concerning the Cab

due not only TO past incompetency. but
to Senator Hardlng's often reiterated

additional interest.
The question what Senator Harding
