SENATE IN CONTROL
 OF RORABACK PARTY

New Haven, Nov. s.-Connecticut's s vote cast yesterday finally got counted to the last ballot this afternoon. The delay was due to a wrangle over the vote Tor judge of probate in the town of Enfield. The town went slightly democratic on the general ticket and the figures which were unofficially given out had no influence on the totals which had previously been cast up by tabulators.
 The Enfield vote made the grand total cast for Charles A. Templeton 170,311 and for David E. FitzG Gerald 14S,815, plurality for the former of 21,496. The vote for Senator Mo- Lean with Enfield added in was 16s,- 547 and for Thomas J. Spellacy 147,- 113 plurality for the senator of 22,- ASA. N
 Nixup in Enfield
 The trouble in Enfield was due to rivalry for the office of judge of pro- bate between Carl J. Fowler who has had it for ten years and Philip J. Sullivan, democratic nominee. The first count showed Fowler in the lead by three votes. On challenges there were three recounts and at 5:30 a. m. Fowler still was ? votes to the good. Again there was a challenge. No headway could be made on the count and the ballot boxes were sent to the Town hall to be guarded by the chief of police until 42 p. m. In the inter- vals during the night the votes for other candidates had been counted, but, 1t was claimed the moderator would not declare them.
 The town cast 1452 votes for Tenn pietown and 14SG for FitzGerald, and 1,436 for Mclean and 1,4S7 for Spell lacy. The two democratic nominees for the house, Hyland and Sisisky, who went into the contest as citizens party candidates were elected. k The latter had been refused nomination by the republicans. As the citizens party could not have a place on the ballot both stayed iii the race with democratic endorsement and won out. They will be classed as democrats, making the political complexion of the new lower branch POS republicans and 54 democrats gain for the latter  in position to demand roll call on any measure without the aid of the republicans.
 Six Women Elected
 There will be six women men- bers in the next house and Mrs. Lillian M Brink of Canterbury, who Is returned, may be regarded as the leader of the delegation, Mrs. Mary Hooker of Hartford having lost out in her try for return to the popu- lar, branch. Of three women nomin- ated by the democrats for the senate none got enough. votes to obtain a seat. l
 That there was great slump in the total votes cast compared with two years ago is shown by contpari- son of the vote.
 Governor Lake had cast for him 230,792 votes as compared with 16S,' S59 given Mir. Templeton yesterday of Enfield while Mayor Fitz. Gerald received 147.s29 votes a, against l119,9t2 cast for Rollin U | Tyler, the democratic standard bearer two years ago.
 The democrats in yesterdays cleo ton wrested the fifth congressional district from the republicans by elect Ing Patrick B. O'Sullivan ot Derby as q member from the district to take the seat held by James P. Glynn of since 1915. This gain for them was the striking incident of battle, although the close ness of the vote in practically every contest as compared with the land slide figures of two years ago was another feature. O'Sullivan's plural ty was 890.
