HARDING GETS
FOUR HUNDRED !.
ELECTORAL VOTES
Republicans Get Large Ma
jority in Senate; Lead in
House Indefinite.

New York, Nov. 5.--With the size
of President-elect Hardings electoral
vote virtually settled at 404 out of
possible 531 and the completion of
the new senate set down as SO repub-
licans and 81 democrats. republican
leaders today awaited belated returns
0,t eight contests in six states to hxe
the exact size of the republican house
majority.
Exclusive Of the eight undetermined
seats in the lower house, the republi-
cans had 2s6 members to 1877 demo-
Gratis, and four of other designations,
plurality of 149-the greatest ever
held by any party in the house. The
nearest approach to it was in the
tifty-SecOnd congress, when the DEM
ocrats bad a lead of 14S.
Republicans appeared to be assured
of more than an even break on the
eight outstanding seats which would
give them Il record party margin in
the house. The seats, still in doubt
were the fourth Maryland district,
eighth Minnesota, fifth Missouri, fif-
teenth. twenty first and twenty-third
New York; first North Dakota, and
fifth West Virginia.
Another Upset.
A further possible democratic upset
appeared possible in the fourth Ten
nessee district where w. r. Clouse.
republican. was reported to have forg-
cd slightly ahead of Cordell Hull
earlier reported elected.
The senate majority was settled late
last night when belated returns from
