SEVEN DISTRICTS IN G. O. P. RANKS

Republicans Have Regained Five Indiana Representatives With Three Races Undecided Yet. The republicans have carried seven congressional districts in Indiana; the democrats have won three positively with the remaining three districts as yet undecided. The districts which will be found in the republican column are the Second, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth,. Tenth and Twelfth, while the democrats are winners in the Third, Fourth and Thirteenth. The race in the First is too close for predictions and the race in the Fifth between Moss and Sanders also is very close, with Sanders leading. In the Ninth Purnell has a substantial lead over Marsh.' Representative Rauch and Milton Kraus of Peru have a tight struggle in the Eleventh, with Kraus having a small lead. In the First the result is in doubt. Wallace Cook, D, has a lead of 173 votes in 106 precincts, but 72 precincts are yet to report.
