Ohio, Michigan and Illinois Give Large Republican Majorities Pennsyl vania and Massachusetts Go Republican Democratic Landslide in Minnesota THE CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION. Chicago, 111. —Returns received up to 1 o'clock Thursday morning show that the republicans have elected 223 con gressmen and the democrats 163. NEW YORK—With the official vote of but three counties missing, Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler apparently is elected lieutenant governor on the democratic-Independence league ticket by a plurality approximating 1,700 votes over Linn Bruce, republican. To arrive at these figures, liruce's prob able pluralities in the counties of Es sex, Ontario and Niagara are based on the vote for the republican guberna torial candidate. Fulton county is also missing, excepting a statement of Bruce's plurality over Chanler. While slight changes may be made in the re turns from several counties, it is not believed they will materially reduce Chanler's lead, but may increase it.it appears that all the other candidates on the democratic state ticket are elected by small pluralities. The republican managers have de cided to make applications in the su preme court of the several counties in this vicinity for orders compelling the production in court of all "void and protested" ballots. These will be in court. m *' CHARLES E. HUGHES. It is expected that Herbert Parsons, •chairman of the republican county •committee, will have charge of this matter for New York City, in every county where a count of these ballots is deemed necessary, the county chair man will make like application to the supreme court. Very nearly full returns from all counties o! the vote for governor give Hughes 746,334, Hearst 684,722; Hughes' plurality 61,612. Hughes' plurality outside of Greater New York was 136,338; Hearst's plu rality in Greater New York was 74,726. PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Complete re turns from 61 of the 67 counties in Pennsylvania and careful estimates from the other six counties give Ed win S. Stuart, republican candidate for governor, a plurality of 52,.">;i:i over Lewis Emery, the fusion candidate. Samuel P. Rotan, republican, was elected as district attorney in Phila delphia by 40,000, his friends say, <ie feating Clarence D. Gibboney, who had the support of the reform forces and the democrats. The incoming legislature will be strongly republican, although not so overwhelmingly as it was two years ago. One of the chief issues in the state campaign was the new capitol, which was dedicated on October 4. The fu sionists claimed that several millici. dollars of overcharges and duplica tions are represented in furnishing and equipping the building. The re publican candidates pledged them selves if elected to honestly investi gate those charges and to place the responsibility for the alleged extrava gance where it rightfully belonged. BOSTON, Mass. —The republicans after a short but spirited campaign, were victorious in the state election Tuesday, Gov. Guild being re-elected by a considerably increased plurality over last year, while his opponent, District Attorney John B. Moran, of Boston, the candidate of the demo cratic and prohibition parties and In dependence league, received a some what larger vote than that given the democratic candidate a year ago. A Murder and Robbery. Stafford Springs, Conn. Mrs. Henry Williams, about 50 years old, was found murdered in her home near here Thursday afternoon. Rob bery apparently was the motive, and the murderer is believed to be a tramp. The body of Mrs. Williams was found lying near a stove on the floor of the kitchen, with the throat cut, head battered and a towel twisted around her neck. Near the body lay a knife and a club. Following the murder the man made a search for money, for the house was ransacked and about SIOO in money taken. With two-thirds of the state vote tabulated, Mr. Guild's plurality was es timated late last night at about 37,000. The republicans re-elected their en tire state ticket, although Lieut. Gov. Draper fell considerably behind Gov. Guild. The next legislature will be republican by the usual large majority in both houses, and this will ensure the election of United States Senator Murray Crane, of Dalton, who is at present completing a brief term. The Massachusetts delegation in congress will remain practically the same, although spirited contests in the Fifth, Sixth, Tenth and Eleventh dis tricts made the results in those sec tions doubtful at an early stage of the tabulation. CARMI COLUMBUS, O. —It is definitely settled by later returns that the Fourth, Ninth and Seventeenth con gressional districts have gone demo cratic. Chairman Dick last night reiterated his claim of a plurality of 75,000 for Oarmi Thompson, republican candi date for secretary of state, although the committee has received complete returns from only 59 out of the 88 counties in the state. Chairman Gar ber, of the democratic state commit tee, does not dispute Dick's figures, but he is claiming the election of five out of the 21 congressmen in the state, the late returns indicating a plurality of 48 for Sherwood, the independent democratic candidate in the Ninth district. Chairman Dick refuses to concede Sherwood's election, saying that with the result so close, it will re quire the official canvass of the vote to determine it. Secretary Flickinger, of the govern or's office, who came up from Dayton, gives Harding's plurality for congress, over ex-Gov. James E. Campbell, as 1,600. Butler county defeated the ex governor, as he ran enough ahead of Hardin# in Montgomery county alone to have elected him. Cincinnati, O. —According to the returns, Thompson, republican, for secretary of state, carried the state by a plurality of 47,256. Thompson's plu rality in Hamilton county is 8,671.

LOUIS, Mo. —From nearly com-' plete returns from all counties, the democrats have carried the state by a plurality of 7,640, electing all candi dates on the jstate ticket and 12 of the 16 congressmen.

London, Eng.—All the morning newspapers publish editorial articles on the result of the election in New York. With scarcely an exception they comment on the close vote as an indi cation of the popular discontent with enormous combinations of capital.
