CHICAGO, Nov. G. Senator Law renco Y. Sherman, republican, was re elected In Tuesday's election by 6000 or moro plurality, over Hogcr C. Sul livan, democrat, according to almost complete returns available today. The missing precincts arc scattered In rural regions of tho stato nnd nre nbout equally divided between repub lican nnd democratic territory. Senator Sherman early today de clared that his plurality would total 10.000 or more, while Sullivan still contended that tho official count would mako him winner.

Tho now position of the German army front along tho ltlver Wnrthe, over 75 miles west of the Vistula river which they reached at tho time of the attempted attack on Warsaw, Indicated tho tremendous ictrent of General Von lllndcnberg's ontlre army in Poland during the Inst two weeks. This retront Is re garded as especially important since such noted Industrial centers as LoiU, l'lotrkow, ltadnm and Klelce were re captured by the Russians. The strategic point at Sandomlr, which Is nt the Junction of the San and Vis tula rivers, has also been retaken. On tho east Prussian frontier tho Germans have met with no success in assuming the aggressive, and at somo points the Russians hnvo eon crossed into Germany. In this region, how ever, tho German retreat was not marked by serious losses. While the retreat of the Austrlans operating In South Poland nnd Ga ltcla is not so marked, as that of the Germans, the official reports here In dicate that they have- moved per ceptibly backwards.
