MISSOURI, OKLA. AND TENNESSEE ARE SWEPT |NTO RANKS IF G. ]. ?.

NEW YORK, Nov "A record smashing electoral vote for Senator Harding topping the four hundred mark and republican majorities of more than score in the senate and 150 in the house, were assured from virtually complete returns Jonighr from Tuesdays elections.
 With the democratic strongholds of Oklahoma, Missouri and Tennesse de- finitely swept into the republican ranks by the party's crushing victory the Harding-Coolidge ticket had 396 votes, exclusive of the five from Mon tana, where the republican state tick ct was victorious and the presidential ticket ahead.
 Ernst Forges Ahead
 The republican landslide tonight had given them 5S senate seats as against 37 for the democrats, with late returns undermining the seat of Senator Beckham, democrat of Ken lucky. His republican opponent, Rich ard J. Ernst, forged ahead in a nip and tuck fight for the only senate seat left unsettled. Of the 34 senate con- tests the republicans captured nine from the democrats and elected all 15 of their candidates. Among the democratic senators who today went down to defeat were Senators Cham berlain, Oregon, former chairman of the military committee; Senator Smith of Arizona, who lost to former Representative Ralph Cameron, and Senator Henderson of Nevada, who was defeated by former Governor. Oddie.
 Few Districts Related
 Final returns from few congress sional districts still were belated to- upset a few previous announcements and others from isolated sections With these missing districts the re- publican roll in the house had climbed past 2S7 to 40 for the democrats.
 Among house members whose re- election was reported finally tonight. was Representative Volstead of Min nesota, author of the Volstead prohi- bition enforcement act, and chairman of the house Judiciary committee, a position he is scheduled to retain.
 Republicans Sweep Ohio
 In the house contests the republi- can sweep gave Ohio an almost solid republican delegation for the first time in it's history. one contest being in doubt. In this, the home state of Senator Harding and Governor Cox, the republicans gained and the demo- crats lost seven seats possibly eight. In Missouri the republicans gained an- other block of eIght.

HALIFAX, Jan. 27.-The disabled

was towed into Halifax harbor at 1880
this evening. Captain Randall, her
commander, reported that with the ex-
ceptlon Of three men slightly i'll ali

night to the transport Northern Pa

First Call for Help
The first radio said that the Pow
hatan was leaking, her tireroom flooded
and the vessel was being buffeted by a
stiff northeasterly gale With her fires
gone and the supply of heat and light
cut off, every additional radio call for
assistance spurrcd rescuinx vessels to
renewed efforts. The Cedric was close
by. but was helpless to assist
As the days passed the fleet of rescu-
ing craft grew. but as each >fastened a
line to the transport and started to tow
the turbulent ocean snapped the thick
hawsers.
Last Thursday the gale moderated
and the Northern Pacific took off all
the passengers without accident, al
though the transfer involved the risk
and danger Of such an undertaking at
night.
The crew OF the Powhatan stuck to
the disabled ship, which was later taken
in tow by the Canadian government
steamship Lady Iaurier; The American
destroyers Leary and Sharkey assisted
the Lady Laurier in bringing the dere-
lict to port, but just as it seemed their
task would be successful another storm
came up, this time with binding snow
Hawsers Snap Again
Again the hawsers snapped and the
Powhatan once more was adrift. In
this almost hopeless situation, Captain
Randall, commanding officer of the
Powhatan, sent radio intimating he
might have to abandon his ship owing
to her condition., which was fast be-
coming unseaworthy, and the increasing
violence Of the storm But the wealth er
calmed the next day and the Pow
hatan was put under control. With
the aid of sea going tugs, she finally
reached port at snail's place.

Powhatan in tow. huge sea swept
her crashing against the Lady Lau-
