Elected to Congress in Strong New York Republican District. (P-y Associated Press.) ROCHESTER, X. Y., April 21. (Delayed in transmission) In the first Hush of victory tho friends of James S. Havens, tho democratic candidate who was elected to con gress yesterday by a large plurality In one of the strongest republican districts In the country, are already talking of Havens for governor next fall. Judging from the conservative tenor of the successful candidates' remarks, however, he accepts the vic tory as bearing little on the political situation In the state except as re gards the issue of "Bosslsm." "This Is not wholly a partisan vic tory" said Havens, "It Is a victory owr things for which Speaker Can non has stood and for the Ideals which Governor Hughes typifies." Hughes republicans claim that Ha vens victory has entrenched Governor Hughes and his policy more strongly than ever. According to Havens, t'j high cost of living was mainly leuponsiblo for yesterday's revolution.

(Delayed In transmission.) Not since the political campaign began have democrats been In such a jubil ant mood as they were today, as a result of the New York election. They gathered early on the iloor and here was everywhere a spirited feeling. The republican leaders dp cllned to attach any particular signi llcance to the result. "It was just a skirmish and it doesn't mean anything" Is the way Representative Boutell of Illinois put It. The democrats agreed with Bur ton Harrison, democrat, of New York who said It marked the overthrow of a regime nation wide in its extent. "It Is the beginning of a new epoch., he said. "I don't believe a single republican congressman from Xew York Is safe from defeat under the conditions we have there. The re tirement of Senators Aldrlch and Hale and the result of the elections in Massachusets and Xew York means the passage of an old order and the establishment of a new and better one. Ic is the dawning of a new day." . COASUEiOE BALL SCORES San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles Victors In Games. (uy Associated Press.) PORTLAND, Ore., April 21.
