Indiana la Somewhat Mixed.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 4.—The endeavors of the Democrats to place Indiana in the ranks of their party, causteg the state to l»e considered doubtful
Some time liefore the election, have not been successful. The Hoosier vote has been given to Taft aud Sherman by a majority of front 5,000 to 15,000. Thoenas R. Marshal], Democratic candidate for governor, at this writing was leading his Republican opponent.
James E. Watson, by about 8,000 votes. The Republican state committee claimed tiiat the votes In the rural districts would overcome this lead. Indications arc that the Democrats have gained one. and possibly more representatives from Indiana. Overstreet (Republican) of the Seventh congressional district, is running a close race with hts Democratic opponent, Chas. A. Korbly. Korbly claims his election by 2,000. The legislature is still in doubt. The defeat of the Marion county Republican ticket will probably also carry down with it the eight representatives from that county, and may give the legislature to the Democrats.
