Portland, Ore., Nov. 4.
ocrat, was re-elected United States senator from Oregon
by a plurality of approximately 16,000 votes over R. A.
Booth, his republican opponent, returns today indicate.
William Hanley, progressive, ran a very poor third.
Returns from 205 precincts in Multnomah county, of
which H6 are complete and 3;M
counties ot the state, give Chamberlain 2:5,486; Booth, 19,
788, and Hanley, 4886. If the present ratio continues,
Chamberlain will carry Multnomah county by approxi
mately 8000 votes and will receive an equal plurality from
the rest of the state.
Senator Chamberlain has probably carried two-thirds
of the counties.
Incomplete returns from Multnomah county and the
state at large indicate the election of Dr. James Withy
combe, republican, as governor of Oregon, over Dr. C. J.
Smith, his democratic opponent, by a plurality of approxi
mately 18,000 votes. Dr. Withycombe apparently carried
Multnomah county with 16,000 plurality.
Incomplete returns from the state outside of Multno

Itcpulilicun, re-elected to congress
from tlm firrt Oregon district by un
increnscd majority.
Estimated They May Have
Majority of 20 But This
May Be Lessened
New York, Nov. 4. Latest available
returns from points throughout the
country indicated today that Tuesday's
election left the democrats In control
of congress.
They guined nt least one senator la
the house their majority dwindled, but
they probably will have a leeway of
0, though the republicans don't con
cede it.
The socialists claimed to have elected
Victor Uerger and W. R. (luylord in
Wisconsin, and Meyer I. onion in the
twelfth New York district.
The progressives asserted that W. 1'.
Martin had won on their ticket in the
third Louisiana district. In the eighth
and tenth North Carolina districts the
repiiblicnns professed to have elected
P. ,T. l.imney nml J, .1. Drift respec
tively. Cyrus Hullowny, a republican, was
returned to congress nfter two years
absence, from New Hampshire. ' Kd
ward W'asson, another republican, was
elected in the same state.
The republicans gained one sent in
Hhode Island, three In .Massachusetts
nml five in Connecticut, The general
percentage of republican gains held
good throughout the country,
New Jersey had returned, so fur ns
most of the ticket wns concerned, to
the republican column.
Cannon ami AlcKinley were elected
in Illinois, and l.ongwortn In Ohio.
The count in the west wns extreme
ly slow and It seemed unlikely that re
sults In that section would bo known
definitely before night,
The best estimate nt lili.'lil n. m. was
that there would be U27 democrats, Ills
republicans, seven progressives litu!
three socialists la the next house.

DEMOOEATS NOT DIS
COURAGED BY VOTE
Washington, Nov. 4. While
administration officials hero ad
mitted privatoly today that
Tuosday's republican landslide
was a "cataclysm," they still
insisted President Wilson would
bo re-elected in 1916.
To some extent the gloom
which onvcloped the democratic
leaders Tuesday night was dis
pelled by today's news. They
were counting on a majority of
25 in the house of representa
tives and friends of the presi
dent pronounced this the
"greatest blessing of the situa
tion. A business boom, too,
was on its way, thny said, and
they expected the democrats
would reap the benefits of it
two years from now.
Men in high positions in the
administration owned that they
expected repuolican gains but
were surprised their magni

(By John Edwin Novln.)
New York, Nov. 4. Latest election
returns, received hero this afternoon
from points throughout the country,
served only to emphasis tho extent of
the progressive' losses and tho re
juvenatiDii of the republican party,
despito tho tact that tho democrats ro
uiaiiicd in control of nntlonal affairs,
The democratic majority In tho house
of representntlves had dwindled to 111
on the face of the returns, though there
wns still n possibility that returns
from districts not. yet heard from
definitely, might bring this number up
to i!7.
The "come backs" included ninny old
line republicans who were defeated In
1UI2.
The dinncrn'ts, as partial offset
agnlnst their losses In the house, may
prove to have gained five sonata scats.
They retained all they held previously

Count Not Completed But Near
Enough to Show Winners
But Not Majorities
Counting the ballots is an iiiiuunlly
slow process in Oregon tins year, urn
at noon today not more than half the
total vote had been counted. In Mnr-
ion county some of the precincts will
not be finished before tomorrow morn
ing, and this makes the process of com
niliiii the returns slow und tinsntisfac
tory. Only the priucipnl offices und
the "wet" anil "dry" vote is being
considered up to this time. It would
bo useless to uttempt anything further
just now,
Itelurns are complete enough tn In
dicate that Chamberlain and Withy
combe luive carried Marion county by
goml majorities and that the entire re
publican county ticket, Including state
sennlorn, is elected. The Capital Jour

Much naval activity was developing in connection with
the European war today.

Admiral Von Spee, commander of the German cruisers
Gnesienau, Scharnhorst, Dresden, Nurnberg and Leipsic,
which sunk the British cruiser Monmouth, undoubtedly
destroyed the cruiser Good Hope and forced the cruiser
Glasgow and supply ship Otranto to intern in neutral har
bors off Chile Sunday, reported that the loss of life was
"terrible."
A German report spoke casually of the sinking of 17
Russian transports by the Turks.
The Turkish Black sea fleet sank the Russian cruiser
Sinop.
It was learned that at the same time the British sub
marine D-5 was sunk by German cruisers, the mine layers
Fraternal and Copious were also destroyed.
German warships were believed about to raid the Ruf
