_ Control by Slim Margin, “Is Indication.

NEW YORK, Nov, 4 (U.P.).—Re-|§

publicans appeared today to have cut the Democratic majority in the

house of representatives to the low-|& est point since President Roosevelt|#

. took office.

Incomplete tabulations showed the|f

Republicans pushing close to the 53

votes they would need to capture : control of the house, but indicated |

that the Republican victory would fall short. The Republicans themselves of a‘net gain of 27 seats

and were leading in enough more to [§

give them a possible net gain of 40.

In a half dozen other districts the |} contests were so close that the Re- |i

publican strength might be swelled further. The returns had the earmarks of |. 8 Republican sweep in the Middle] West, but the G. O. P, was riding - high in the East too. Rep. Hamilton Fish (R. N. Y.), bitter foe of the administration before Pearl Harbor and unrelenting critic since,

won re-election in President Roose-)

- velt’s home Hudson valley district though Governor-elect Thomas E. * Dewey and Wendell Willkie spoke ‘against him.

May’s Fate in Doubt

~~ Clare Luce, playwright wife of publisher Henry R. Luce, who has been critical of the administration, defeated Rep. Leroy D. Downs (D. Conn). ~ House Military Affairs Chairman Andrew J. May (D. Ky.) was having a tight race in his eastern Kentucky mining district, and the outcome was definitely in doubt. So far Democrats have elected . 192 representatives, mostly in the . South; Republicans have elected 161. Progressives elected two and the American Labor Party one. The solid Democratic - Maryland delegation had been cracked once and a second seat was in jeopardy. Pennsylvania Republicans unseated eight Democrats and elected & member-at-large. But Democrats had ousted two incumbent Republicans. They were Joshua Johns of Wisconsin and William T. Pheiffer of New York.

House Democrats Lose

Democratic incumbents defeated were: Herman P. Kippleman and Leroy D. Downs, Connecticut; Philip A, Traynor, Delaware; William S. Jacobsen, Iowa; M. A. Romjue, Richard M. Duncan and John B. Sullivan, - - Missouri; William - H. Sutphin, New Jersey: Alfred Beiter, New York; Greg Holbrock, Jacob E. Davis, John F. Hunter, Harold K. Claypool, Dow W. Harter, WilHam R. Thom and Lawrence E. Imhoff, Ohio; Leon Sacks, Francis R. Smith and Harry Haines, Pennsylvania; and Laurence F. Arnold, Illinois. . In New York the congressional lineup showed little change except for the possibility that the two Re‘publican candidates at large had ridden in on Thomas E. Dewey’s gubernatorial victory.

Winner Faces Contest

Joseph Mruk defeated Rep. Alfred F. Beiter (D. N. Y.) but Rep: William T. Pheiffer (R. N. Y.) lost to Democrat James H. Gay by a 41-vote margin which may be contested. Two Democratic seats were ; known to be lost in Pennsylvania's election of Republican state officials. James Gallagher defeated Rep. Leo Sacks (D. Pa) and Frederick Pracht unseated Rep. Francis R. Smith (D, Pa). But west of the Allegheny”mountains the Democrats were having .¢ Teal trouble. In Missouri Rep. N. ~ A. Romjue, Democrat, was defeated by S. W. Arnold, Republican. Rep. Richard M. Duncan, Democrat, was defeated by William C. Cole, Republican. Daniel Ellison, Republican, broke the Democratic solidarity of the Maryland delegation, ‘ John M. Wyatt, who won Democratic nomination from incumbent John A. Meyer. ‘Rep. Philip Tray‘nor AD. Del) was unseated by Republican Earle D. Willey. Rep.. Howard W. Smith, Democratic incumbent in Virginia's eighth district, . was re-elected despite strong opposition of labor elements.

nor since Nathan L. Miller defeated Alfred E. Smith in 1920. The New York Herald-Tribune called the election a “strong swing towar dthe Republican party.” The New York Times main election dispatch described it as a “decisive Republican victory.” There was an unmistakable antiadministration trend but it must be measured against the fact that majority party losses are normal in off year elections. Nevertheless, if the Republicans pick up 35 or 50 seats, they will be in a position to join with anti-ad-ministration Democrats on some issues to turn back some of Mr. Roosevelt's measures. All candidates, however, were elected on win-the-war platforms. The centerpiece of gubernatorial and potential presidential politics was New York state where Dewey was elected governor by a plurality of 650,000 votes and a clear majority of around 200,000 over Democratic John J. Bennett Jr., and three minor party candidates. The Dewey-for-president-in-1944 clamor began to sound from his supporters shortly after the returns were in last night and henceforth the eyes of the politicans will ‘be upon him.

Bricker Scores Again

Dewey appeared to have carried some or all of his state ticket to victory aboard them. But the Midwest also was voting one of its favorite sons into the 1944 Republican presidential sweepstakes. That was in Ohio where homespun John W. Bricker was elected to a third term as Governor of the Buckeye state and by a whopping margin of more than 300,000 votes. Dewey's rise is a challenge to the party leadership of Wendell L. Willkie, the 1940 presidential candidate who presently is without portfolio. And in the New York returns was burned deeply the story of a row within the Democratic party in which James A. Farley and his foriner boss, President Roosevelt, butted heads in dispute over the gubernatorial nomination,

GOP Wins New Strength i in Congress, but Not Control

{Continued from Page One)

Farley wanted Bennett ‘and got him, but Mr. Roosevelt seemed to find it an unhappy choice and such aid as he finally offered his party's candidate was not enough either to elect him or, even, to persuade the left wing American Labor Party ally of the administration to withdraw its own candidate, Dean Alfance.

Farley’s Power Periled

The A. L. P. candidate polled some 400,000 votes at the expense of Bennett. “Bennett's defeat may cost Farley control of the state Democratic organization although it will be no small chore to oust him from the state chairmanship which .he now holds. But it was no secret that Big Jim and Bennett would have sent an anti-Roosevelt delegation to the 1944 Democratic national convention. It is to be assumed, now, that the administration will attempt to send Farley down the pirate’s plank in the hope of taking over panty control here and making sure that the 1944 delegation will be pro-Roose-velt and not against him.

GOP OVERTURNS FIVE GOVERNORS

Heil, Republican Incumbent, Loses to a Progressive In Wisconsin.

By UNITED PRESS Republicans appeared today to have overturned five Democratic state administrations. But a Republican governor seeking re-election was ousted by a Progressive, In four pivotal states which chose Democratic governors at the last election—New York, Connecticut, Michigan and California—Democratic candidates tossed in the towel. Wisconsin’s Republican Governor Julius P. Heil, however, was trounced by Progressive Orlando S. Loomis, with Democrat William C. Sullivan finishing far back. Three of yesterday's Republican victors—Thomas E. Dewey of New York, Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota, and John W. Bricker of Ohio —are- possible G. O. P. candidates for the presidency in 1944.

Among Five to Lose Seats

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 (U. P.).— The. nationwide tide of Republican into control. of five new senate seats,

indicated election of five other. new

G. O. P. senators and possibly. a total gain of 10.

One of the Republican seats was

‘takent from Senator George W. Nor-

ris, Nebraska independent, who lost it. to Kenneth S. Wherry desipte President Roosevelt's endorsement. Others were gained from Democrats in Delaware, Iowa, Oklahoma and

' | South Dakota.

In - Michigan, although Homer Ferguson (R.) led Senator Prentiss M. Brown (D.) by only 2472 votes with 521 precincts still to count, election of the Republican seemed likely as most of the missing votes were in rural areas. Senator William H. Smathers (D.) trained Albert S. Hawkes (R.) in New Jersey. Returns from 32 & states—plus Maine, which elected in September —showed 27 senate contests decided with Democrats taking 14 and Republicans 13. Oklahoma's colorful Democratic Senator Josh Lee, who sponsored a bill to establish prohibition around military camps, today concecled .defeat to his Republican opponent F. H. Moore, 71-year-old Tulsa oil man. . Senator A. B. (Happy) Chandler, Democratic incumbent, held a substantial lead of more than 40,000 in his race with Republican Richard: J.

Senator Arthur Capper, veteran Republican, rode back to- Washington for his fifth term on an evermounting majority today as the G. O. P. swept all state and congressional races in Kansas. Gov. . George A. Wilson of Iowa took over for the Republicans the senate seat now held by Clyde L. Herring (D). Although Senator C. Wayland Brooks (R:) trailed Rep. Raymond S. McKeough (D.) in early Illinois returns, he rolled up a lead on the basis of downstate returns. Senator W. Lee O’Daniel (D.) was re-elected in Texas. v
