Democrats Show Confidence.
Despite the narrow squeak In Bal

throughout expressed confidence In
the outcome. Their predictions that
the county returns would build up
O'Conor's lead gradually to better
than 10000 were realized In the early
morning hours.
Both sides showed surprising
strength In areas generally consid-
cred to be strongholds of opposing
candidates. Baltimore was expected
to roll up substantial Democratic
majority. 1t failed to do so.
But, early returns from Allegany,
Garrett and Howard-generally Re-

The Ellison victory in the 4th was
not unexpected although he is. the
first Republican to be sent to Con-

showing in the Democratic primary

Revercomb Defeats
Nicely for Senate
In West Virginia
Three Democrats Lose
House Seats to
Republicans in Stote
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov. A.
Gov. M. M. Nicely, conceding his
defeat in West Virginia's senatorial
contest to Chapman Revercomb,
Republican, sent Mr.. Revercomb the
following telegram today:
Please let me Fundamentally
congratulate you upon your election
to membership in the most impor-
tant legislative body in the world.
1t is my sincere hope that your
official service during the next six
years will bring unlimited happi-
ness to you and your family and
numbered blessings to all the people
of West Virginia. With every good
wish in the world"
Mr.. Revercomb, Virginia-bOrn at
torney who never before held public
Office, rolled up a majority of IS, 1000
votes over Gov. Nicely.
With all but 1888 of West vir-
ginia's 2,796 precincts tabulated, the
Charleston Republican had polled
POI ,260 votes to 166,345 for the g.
year-old Governor who asked the
voters to send him back to Wash
ington for fourth time midway
in his term as Governor.
Shot Also Elected.
With Mr.. Revercomb into office
on the basis of unofficial tabula-
tions--went Hugh Ike Shot, Blue
field publisher and a veteran Re-
publican campaigner, who held q
substantial lead over Senator Roster,
on leave of absence from the presi-
dency of Fairmont State Teachers
College.
Unofficial returns showed that
three members of West Virginia's
six-man Democratic delegation in
Congress had fallen by the way
side.
A contradiction OF the trend was
the apparent election of James Kay
Thomas, now captain in the
Army Air Forces, as attorney gen.
eral over Republican Mayor D. L.
Salisbury of Dunbar.
Capt. Thomas was twice speaker
of the House of Delegates and is
regarded as opposed to the present
