IJy'DIANAPOLdfl. v , lad , . .Nov. t. Hughes' early lead In Indians was cut down somewhat as later reports were received and according to returns up to one o'clock with 1,475 of the 3442 precincts In the state heard from, the lead was 7,994., If the present ratio continues however, Hughes will bare a plurality of about 15,000. The returns are scattering and come from 84 counties out of 92 In the state. , Republican State Chairman Win H. Hays, shortly after midnight issued a statement claiming that Hughes , would have a plurality of 50,000 in Indiana. Fairbanks, the Republican vice presidential nominee, sent a message of congratulation to Mr. Hnghes. He also issued a statement saying: "It is very gratifying and reassuring to the country that the Republican party has been restored to power." Democratic State Chairman Bernard Korbly locked himself in his room at headquarters and refused to give out
a statement Cttherpjmoeratie leaders, however, refused to concede a victory to the Republicans in Indiana. Vice President Marshall said: "It Is too early to tell anything or say anything. It is also too late to talk now. Whatever the outcome, it Is the duty
of every American citizen to abide
by the choice of the people." New and Watson, Republican candidates for TJ. S. senators maintained a lead over Senators Kern , and Taggart as did also Goodrich, the Rep

capers which nave suppoma Kresw

Democratic : managers Insisted that
complete returns from "the west
would reverse the trend which steadi
ly seemed to be piling Hp the Hughes column. " ' 1 Vr . "Remember 1892," was the prediction of the Democratic publicity bureau which pointed out that in that memorable contest the next day ' revised returns placed Grover Cleveland in the White House. Soon after midnight the Republican national committee in an official statement claimed California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont Washington, West Vlrginia and Wisconsin. That made a total of 284 electoral votes 18 more than the necessary 266 for an election. This was the first official indications
from the Republican that th result would b ov clos.' The Republican manager .' realized ' that ; a sudden witch in th states in complete or unheard from might increase the Wilson figures but ware ur the latter figures would '- add ' to the ' states they were claiming.

WSTOCK MAJORITY OF 700 ESTIMATED DY PARTY HEADS IN THE DISTRICT COUNTIES; LOWER THAN WAS EXPECTED
Reports received at 1 o'clock this morning from 149 out of 236 precincts in the Sixth Indiana congressional district indicate the district has gone Republican. First reports, early last night, indicated the election of Judge D. W. Comstock of Richmond, candidate for member of congress
on the Republican ticket, over Finly H. Gray, his Democratic opponent by a majority of between 600 and 700. The . Republican presidential and state tickets have been elected, apparently, by approximate majorities. Gray Surprise Leaders. $ - 1-
Rep. Gray has served six years in
congress and the showing made by
him yesterday in the face of a reunited Republican and Progressive vote astonished political leaders of both parties. Careful estimates based on in
complete returns in the various counties, made by Palladium correspondents in the several counties, show the following estimated majorities in the
congressional contest: Comstock. Wayne ............... 700 Henry ..... 700 , Fayette 250 Union ..... . 150 Rush' 'irr. T. ? Franklin... ...

Comstock Majority, 700 Hughes will probably carry the district by a majority of approximately 1,000 and Goodrich, for governor, will
receive about the same majority as the national ticket. The district gave ma
jorities for the two Republican senatorial candidates. Cuts Down Majority. The big cut in the anticipated Comstock majority in Wayne county, which had been estimated between 1500 to 2,000 to less than 1,000 was quite unexpected, showing that the desperate efforts put forth by the Democratic state and district organizations to hold down the Republican vote in Wayne county to the lowest
possible figure were not entirely wasted. Had they been able to have'
done as well in the other counties the district would have been retained In the democratio column.
Eleven of 19 precincts gave Judge' Comstock a majority of 183. His estimated majority Is 250, and the national and state tickets will receive about the same, Two years ago. Gray carried this county by 127. The whole G. O. P. county ticket is elected.
