Republicans Gain
in Close BallOting
of Nearby Counties

A closely contested election in
Montgomery County resulted in
victory for Democratic candidates
in all but two instances. Walter
w. Dawson. 2e-year-old Repub-
'lican Rockville lawyer, was elect
ed to the Maryland House Of Del
egates and Frank A. Karn, a Re-
publican, was elected county COM
missioner from the fourth dis
trict. A feature of the fight
was the vote for State Senator,
with Robert G. Hilton, Democrat,
winning over Thomas M. Ander-
son, Republican, by only 70
votes, according to unofficial re-
turns.
Despite a general Democratic
victory in Prince Georges County,
the Republicans elected their
candidate for sheriff and won
two seats in the House of Dele
gates and two on the Board of
County Commissioners, accord
ing to unoff1cial returns. The new
sheriff of the county is w. Curtis
Hopkins. Republicans who gained
positions in the House of Dele
gates were Oliver Metzerott and
r. c. Zantzinger. Those elect
ed to the Board of Commission
ers were Frank Small, jr., and

c. B. PITTS ACCUSED
OF BIG RENT DEBT
Jefferson Receivers Move for
Accounting of Former Smith
Co. Official.

Failure to pay rent on 21-room
Sixteenth street apartment for six
years was among the allegations made
against G. Bryan Pitts, former chair
man of the board of directors of the
F.. H. Smith Co., in petition filed
today in District Supreme Court, equity
division.
The petition was filed by Herbert L.
Davis and Charles w. Arth, receivers
for the Jefferson Apartments, at Six
tenth and NJ streets. They asked the
court to instruct whether they should
institute proceedings to compel an ac-
counting by Pitts and others involved.
Investigation disclosed, the petition
set forth, that Pitts occupied the sew
enth floor of the fashionable apart
ment house, consisting Of 81 rooms,
from April /, 1924, until April 1, 1880.
The rental value of the space was esti-
mated at $3.50 a month or an aggre-
gate of SOL, 200.
$4,000 Expenditure Alleged.
The petition charged the Jefferson
Corporation "or some other person,
firm or corporation" had spent SIS. 900
in equipping and decorating the Pitts
apartment. It also was contended that
Pitts and others had failed to pay rent
for apartments in the same building
occupied by his employees, Anthony
Senes, "so-called bodyguard," and Helen
Schneider, secretary.
Pointing out that books which should
contain records of rent bills had been
removed or destroyed" the petitioners
said the only tangible evidence of any
payments available showed Pitts had
rendered three checks for a total OF
$6, 735.
PhotOstatic Copies Attached.
The receivers attached to their petit
ton photostatic copies of checks for
sums ranging from $4,000 to $12,500
purporting to represent proceeds from
rentals collected prior to their appoint
ment. The petition charged that al
though the checks were drawn to the
order Of the jefferson Apartments, they
were cashed by Pitts and others, in
GLIDING G. Ebert Anadale, former sec
rotary of the Smith concern.
Instructions were requested by the
petitioners concerning tax matters. The
petition said taxes and penalties on
the property aggregating about $4,000
remained to be paid The court was
told these leVies were made prior to the
appointment of the receivers.
1t was disclosed that the receivers
had spent much time and money" con-
verting the floor formerly occupied by
Pitts into apartments Of suitable size
for profitable rental.

There the RepuDncanS nave Al seats,
the Democrats As and the Farmer
Labor party !. Two Senate seats still
in the balance are those of Robson,
Republican, of Kentucky, and Schan,
Republican, in Minnesota.
Robson Likely to Lose.
Late returns indicate that Robson
will be defeated in Kentucky. Schall,
however, is leading Hoidale, his Demo-
cratic opponent. Schall has gained
consistently as the outlying districts
have been heard from.
Should Schall WIN and Robsion lose
the makeup of the Senate would be
Republicans, 4S, Democrats, Al, Farmer
Labor 1. Here again, neither OF the
old parties would have an outright ma
iority. ShipStead, the lone Farmer
Labor Senator, would hold the balance
of power.
No more narrow margin or mixed Sit
uation could probably be evolved.
Already threats of contests for
closely fought districts have been made.
The Democratic National Committee,
through its headquarters, today an
nounced that it would not accept as
final the unofficial returns from any
close district. 1t would not concede the
defeat of the Democratic candidates IN
the eighth Indiana district and in the
tenth Illinois district. 1T said. Further
more, a study is to be made OF other
close districts. The Democratic organ
ization would not concede that it has
not won a majority of the House.
Reports to Be Scanned.
The Republican National Committee
issued no statement 1t was declared.
however, that the committee also would
scan the reports from closely contested
States with care.
The Republicans insist that in all
probability they will have strength
enough to organize both the House and
Senate.
The Democratic headquarters makes
a similar claim. The official counts will
be needed to settle the matter.
In view of the narrow margin in both
Senate and House, it is clear that
coalition of Democrats and Republican
progressives will be able at any time
to overthrow Republican control.
