BY PAUL r. MALLON

NEW YORK, Nov. 7. - Herbert
Hoover will have a stronger Repub-
lican congress working with him af-
ter March 4 than President Coolidge
had.
Republicans have captured four
Democratic seats in the senate and
three in the house and their chances
are excellent for increasing these
gains in the closely fought contests
still being counted in wavering
states.
The close senatorial contests in
cluded those of Walsh of Massa-
chusetts, Wheeler of Montana, Ger
ry of Rhode Island, Kendrick of
Wyoming, and Hay of Missouri.
Hay and Gerry were tagging behind
in the early morning returns, while
Walsh, Wheeler and Kendrick We're

Democratic incumbents pulled safe

stirred up by the Hoover landslide
along unexpected paths.

there was a change in the official

NEW YORK, Nov. Coy. Al
fred +. Smith who has drawn great
or crowds than Bryan or any other
political figure in this country, ap-
pears to have gone down to the
worst defeat any major presidential
candidate ever suffered in the elcc-
tcral college.
Herbert Hoover appears certain
TO equal the record breaking vote Of
4Oi which Harding received in 1920
and is likely to go beyond it.
BY carrying all of the II electoral
votes which still remain in doubt
Smith could only equal the low vote
OF l27 which James II. Cox, Demo
cratic candidate, received in 1920.
Yet IN face of this disaster, Smith
is polling tremendous vote and
while he lost his own state of New
York, he is still slightly ahead in
doubtful Massachusetts. Stranger
yet, he is leading in Utah, one of
the two states to stay with Taft in
1912.
Hoover is upsctting all expecta-
tions by his terrific vote in the
south. He has carried Virginia and
is ahead in Florida. In Texas he
and Smith have been secsawing back
and forth for 10 hours.
On the basis of United Press fig
urcs from all sections of the country
the tabulation today stood as fol-
lows:
Electoral vote:
Hoover, 40i; Smith, 7G; doubtful,
81.
In only two southern states did
Hoover fail to register an impressive
vote-South Carolina and Louisiana.
He has carried the entire border in
cluding Maryland, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Missouri and Oklahoma.
His victory in Virginia and his
close race in Florida and Texas sur
passed all expectations on the part
of his managers, They had hoped
TO get North Carolina but lost that.
While Smith had no victories to
his credit in the farm belt, he regis
tered an impressive vote in some
states, particularly Illinois. In Ne
braska, however, even the help of
Senator Norris failed to bring him
within hailing distance of Hoover.
And in Progressive Wisconsin, the
combined efforts Of the LaFollette
forces, failed to protect him against
a heavy Hoover vote.

PALO ALTO, Calf, Nov. 7. -
President Elect Hoover faced the flu
turc today at time when the coun-
try has pressing for solution as
many problems, perhaps, and as com
plcX, as ut anytime when the conn
try was at peace. He will, within
the next few days, begin TO lay plans
for his administration with this in
mind.
Hoover will remain here, for per-
haps Il month, resting and consider
ing his future course as president of
the United States. He probably will
return to Washington about the mid
die Of December, taking a trip of
some kind after he leaves his home
here and before his return to the
capital.
Selection of the cabinet is the
first problem before him. He has
given some thought to that, and will
give more within the next few
weeks. AS yet, it appears that only
secretary of the treasury is n Ger
tainty. Andrew w. Mellon, it is
SehcfaliH uhucrSloou, WIN b' dsN'u
to retain the post he has held for
nearly eight years.
Dwight w. Morrow, present am
bassador to Mexico, and Senator
Borah, of Idaho, are mentioned as
possibilities for the highest cabinet
post, secretary of state, with pros
poets favoring the former. New
faces, likewise, are expected in the
other cabinet positions.
Paramount among all problems
which Hoover will face when he en-
tcrs the White House is farm relief.
He has promised TO call an extra
session of congress to deal with that
after March 4, if adequate legisla-
tion is not adopted at the coming
short session.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7. -
Herbert Hoover crossed the million
mark in California's return shortly
after 1890 p, m. today as San Fran
cisco and several other densely pop
ulated counties reported complete
tabulation of all precincts.
The total vote at this hour, upon
the basis of complete returns from
6,S25 of the states 9,086 precincts,
stood as follows:
Hoover-1,05 ,055 ,46S.
Smith-4j5, ,620.
Hiram Johnson was administering
an even more severe drubbing to his
Democratic opponent for United
States senator, Minor Moore, al
though fewer precincts had reported
totals in this race.
The count stood: johnson 713,-
271; Moore, 168,931.
All indications in California
point to a victory even greater than
we had anticipated, said Mark L.
Requa, regional director of the Re-
publican national committee, early
today.
"The American people have again
shown their capacity of self govern
ment and their unerring wisdom in
selecting the fittest candidate for
the great office of president.'
Henry H. McPike, chairman of
the Democratic state central commit
tee, in telegram to Frank Merriam,
chairman of the Republican state
central committee, said in conceding
defeat for the Democratic ticket:
We wish you four happy and
prosperous years in the administra.
tlon of our government.
Never Any Doubt
Hoover was in the lead from the
start of the count early last night
when reports began coming in from
the populOus precincts in Los An
geles county, and there was never
for a moment a question as to the
outcome of the California presiden-
tial. race.
The election of Senator Johnson
was assured from the start, the only
question being how large a majority
he would roll up over his opponents,
Minor Moore, Democrat, Los An

The keenest disappointment to the
Democratic leaders was in the San

him.
Practically complete returns gave

few thousand, but his managers
