CONGRESS LIKELY
TO BE REPUBLICAN
Election Returns Indicate Dem
ocrats Lose Control of
Both Houses.
New York. Unofficial returns from
Tuesday' election left in doubt wheth
er the democrat or republican would
control the next congre.
Party managers on both aide pre
dicted they would bare substantial
working majoritle, but the return
showed the lineap mo clone that the
scale might easily be turned In favor
of either party.
Th governorship of New Tork, too,
was surrounded with the same uncer
tainty. The contest between Gover
nor Whitman and hi. democratic op
ponent. Alfred E. Smith, wa ao close
that it appeared the soldier vote would
settle 1L .
On the face of returns, republican
have gained seven seat In the senate
and lost one Republicana elected to
take the place of sitting democrats
were Ball In Delaware, in place of
Saulsbury; Gooding, In place of Nu
gent In Idaho; Phlpps In Colorado, in
place of Shafroth; McCormick in Illi
nois, in place of Lewis; Capper in
Kansas, in place of Thompson; Keyes
In New Hampshire, In place of HolIlv
and Spencer in Missouri, over former
Governor Folk.
The republican appeared to have
lost to Former Governor Walsh the
place now held by Senator Weeka in
Massachusetts.
With tbe results incomplete, Henry
Ford waa running behind Truman H.
Newberry, former assistant secretary
of the nary, hi republican opponent
for the aenate in Michigan.
In the election for the house. For
mer Speaker Cannon waa returned to
hi seat from Illinois for what will be
his 22d term; Meyer London, the only
socialist in the house, was defeated by
Former , Representative Henry M.
Goldfogle, democrat, running with
republican Indorsement The lose of
the socialist seat, however, waa offset
by the election of another socialist,
Victor Berger, of Milwaukee. Berger
is under indictment, charged with hav
ing violated the espionage law. All
of the socialist candidates in New
Tork were beaten, among them Morris
Hillqult. candidate for mayor a year
ago. The surprise of the election wss
tbe possibility that Speaker QIark had
been defeated in his home district in
Missouri.
