WASHINGTON, Nov. S. The latest returna received up to 10:80 p. m.
show that the republican (Including three fualonints elected from the dis
tricts In Pennsylvania) will control the next house by a vote of 202 .epubll-
cans to 1" democrats, with one district, the Eighth Tennessee, and two Cali
fornia districts remaining so much In doubt that the official return will be
needed to decide the result.
The totals given are believed to be correct, although there are a few dis
tricts, such as two In Colorado and one In Minnesota, where the republican
and democratic party managers rt spec lively do not concede defeat, but the
general result could not be offevted, even should their, claim prove to be will
founded.

SF.ATTLK, Nov. 5. The stale
Washington has gone republican, so
far rta th.j returns now In show, by at
least 12.000 majority for supreme court
Justice and congressmen. King coun
ty alone contributes between 000 and
5000 to these majorities.
The legislature on Joint ballot will
stand at least 110 republicans to an op
position of 26.
The republican majority Is more Hko
ly to be increased than lowered by the
full return.
The senate will be constituted ns follows:
Republicans, 32; democrats, ; one
district still in doubt.
The house: Republican, 78; demo
crats, 9; seven districts still uncounted.

The republicans will have a majo-'lty

DEATH BLOW TO FUSION
Republicans Have Swept Things Clear
In Nebraska.
LINCOLN, Nov. 5. Up to midnight
complete returns from more than half
the counties show that Mickey's (re
publican) plurality for governor will
not be less than 5000. The republl'-an
membership In the legislature is the
greatest for 20 years. The combined
vote of the fuslonlats In the house rnd
senate will not exceed 29 out vf a total
membership of 133.

NEW YORK, Nov. (-Official figures
on the vote for governor vary but lit
tie from the unofficial reports. A
cording to the -eturns made to the ex
ecutlve at Albany by the several coun
y cierxa, me plurality for Odeii, re
publican, Is 12.SST.
The returns of the vote for the i ther
state officers are so meager that it ia
Impossible to say if the democrats
have been more successful as regard
the minor offices than in the case of
governor.
It Is assrted that Cuneen. the derno
erotic nominee for attorney-general,
and Judge Gray, the democratic cundi
date for Judge of the court of appeals,
have defeated their republican eppon
ents.
The state legislature is controll d by
the republicans, insuring the return of
Piatt to the United States senate.
NOT AFRAID OF CONTEST
Republicans Say They Will Retaliate If
Democrats Protest.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Colonel Dunn,
chairman of the republican state com
mittee, when informed today of the
report that the democrat! threatened
to contest the election, said:
"If they start anything cf that kind
we will give them all the contest they
want right here in New York county,
and they will wish they had never
heard of a contest."
PLATT IS SATISFIED
Trust Question and Coal Strike Cut No
Figure.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Senatot
Tboamas C. Piatt was asked today for
a statement on the state election. He
said:
We have to be satisfied. Odell's
plurality is not nearly as large as I had
expected."
Senator Piatt said that In his opin
ion the trust question and tne coai
strike had nothing to do with the re
sult of the vote.
The democrats rot toga titer," he
said, "and held togewer and a few re
publicans slipped over to them."

ernor, in the face of republican claims
for an easy victory, there haa not been
such an overturning of vote from the
republican to the democratic putty In
this state as that which occurred yes
terday. ' With the exception of I rie,
Albany and Rensselaer counties .every
democratic prediction of sweeping ma
jorities was carried out and nmpllfltid.
Especially was this true below the
Bronx. The claims of 12,000 for the
Greater New York district was more
than verified, but the claims for Erie,
Aioany ana itensseuier were not re
s ponded to, and the failure to realize
democratic hopes In these counties re
moved all chance of Coler's election.
The figures, in total and detail, are
extremely interesting. With a regis
tration 4 percent below that cf two
yean ago, the democratic party In the
Greater New York district showed a
gain In voting power In a majority of
the counties of over 40 per cent, and
thla tremendous gain was met and de
feat for the republicans averted by the
quite remarkable fact that several r f
the republican upstate counties gave
Odell larger pluralities than in "WO,
while several others equalled their
puralities of that presidential year,
Over its combined vote In the state two
years ago, the democratic party gained
at least 35 percent, and the republican
party lost 40 percent. From a plural
ity of 110,000 .Odell dropa to below 10,-
000, loss of over 100,000. "
While the democrats have gained
three and possibly four members in the
senate and about 15 In the aasembly,
the legislature is safely republican, in
suring: the election of a republican to
succeed United States Senator Piatt.
