BOTH SIDES CLAIMING
CONTROL OF HOUSE
Doubt Exists Because of rs
Close Districts.
Special Dispatch TO THE NEw YosK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. G., Nov. y.

Information reaching headquarters Of
the Republican and Democratic National
committees late tonight indicated that
the House would be Republican by a
margin Of nine or ton votes. although
complete returns from twenty-five close
districts may change this figure either
way. IL Is barely possible that the Re-
publican lead will he wiped out. al
though 1t does not seem probable on the
face of the returns thus far. The Re-
publican majority In the present House
is 167 and in the Senate "a.
The close contests for the House in
many districts in New York state. New
Jersey. Ohio. Illinois and Pennsylvania
kept leaders of both parties feverishly
anxious all day.
Chairman Adams of the Republican
National Committee is claiming the
House by a majority of from 25 to 80 to-
night. while Officials Of the Democratic
National Committee we're insisting that
late returns would give the Democrats a
slight margin In the House. The Repub-
leans are confident of retaining control
OF the Senate by a margin OF 10 or ..

camps tonight that Il may be several
days before II Is known how the next

tated and deliberate. IL is their opin-
ion. too, that ;he actual planning was
done In the evening Of Thursday after
Hall had left his home for the last time.
That was shortly before s o'clock n
little more than two hours before the
actual murder II the time OF the crime
as fixed by the officials is correct
Two collateral lines arc developing in
connection with the investigation. One
concerns tho peculiar statements made
by a New York woman lawyer. here os-
tensibly as the counsel TO the Mills fam
lily and accompanied by a detective.
This woman is 70 be called to account
for a strange story she has been relat-
ing, which would Indicate that she
knows all about the murder and has alb
stained from telling the authorities. or
else would put her I'm the position OF as
sailing the case Mr.. Mott has put up
before he has chance to present it to
the Grand Jury.
The other line concerns tho apparent
reluctance of officials TO take action
even when evidence was at hand war
ranting action. " is probable that Mr.
Mott will report his findings along this
line and that after the indictments are
found a separate inquiry will be ordered.
The unwillingness OF certain OF tho peo-
pie examined enters into this matter.
but Il is possible these witnesses will
absolve themselves when they get before
the Grand Jury.
It is clear, too. that members or in
terested families who did not know IN,
story OF the crime some weeks back ma,
be In possession of all the details now
and their versions may be brought on
before the Grand Jury to strengthen thu
case.

says that he did not even know of Hall 5

of the murder in time to dress and go to
dinner in the home of friend across

He returned home. he says. about 10
o'clock and retired soon thereafter. The
next day he went to New York and he
heard nothing of the trouble in the Hall

LIGHT WINE AND
BEER IS LIKELY
To Be AN ISSUE

New Orleans, Oct. 10.--Light
wine and beer in all probability
will be made an issue before the
fourth national convention of the
American Legion, which opens here
October 16.
This was the gist of information
reaching the Associated Press to-
night from sources in close touch
with the convention issue.
National officials of the legion,
here in advance of the convention
expressed doubt whether the light
wine and beer issue woul6 reach
the floor of the convention, declar-
ing it to be their opinion that any
resolution on the subject would
not go further than the resolutions
committee. Delegates already
here, however, were inclined to
think that the possibility of a resell
ution on the subject being brought
before the convention were more
favorable than they had been
at any previous convention. 1t is
conceded generally that political
issues will be made sharper at
this convention than at any pre-
vious session of the veterans or
ganiZation.
Criticism of Brigadier General c.
y. Sawyer, personal physician to
the president and acting as CO.
ordinator of the activities of the
veterans bureau In its hospitaliza-
ton work for the benefit of wound
ed veterans, is generally expected.
