Offensive operations by irregular Polish troops commanded by General Zellgouski 1 have been checked along the itirfrot by h Lithuanians during the past few days, and as a result the evacuation .-of Kovno has been postponed. The only point where the Poles have not been defeated is on the northern sector of the line, where trey have occupied the railroad station at Dushti. A Polish armored train which attacked the station at Antiokole was repulsed by Lithuanian artillery on Tuesday. Hard fighting has taken place on the line between Vilna and Kovno, where yesterday the Poles fired three thousand shells. They have been forced out of the towns of Gedroisti and Dubinski. Reports from Kovno attributed the Lithuanian successes to the assistance given by Prussians, who are said to have been joining the Lithuanian army. Whole units, it is declared, have Crossed the frontier with their arms and ammunitions, large quantities of which are said lately to have disappeared from German government arsenals. It is asserted the Lithuanian government fears these Prussians may later turn to marauding. The Letvian government is massing troops south of the Dvinsk frontier, fearing an advance in that direction by General Zellgouski's forces. Anti-Bolshevik cavalry is pushing from Cherniogratz, west of the Melitopel railway, southeast toward Salkovo railway station, attacking the rear of the soviet troops and attempting to take Salkovo, which is defended by General Wrangel's sailors with naval guns. LONDON, Nov. 4.

Russian Bolshevik troops are unsuccessfully attacking the line held by Baron Wrangel's army south of Perekop. The roviet army is battering at the seven mile trench system which extends cast and west across the narrow neck of land leading to the Crimean peninsula, but General Wrangel's. position is quite strong. It has on its left the Gulf of Perekop and on its riht the Gulf of Sivash, or Putrid Sea. Back, of his main lines, General Wransel has heavy navy guns and other artillery. The town of Perekop, which has been occupied by the Bolsheviki, is a mass of ruins. LONDON, Nov. 4.

SOLID SOUTH BREAKS AWAY IN LANDSLIDE On the Face of Returns Compiled by Newspapers, Harding Seems Sure of Tennessee's 1 2 Electoral Votes. STATE RACES CLOSE (By Associated Press) MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 4. On the face of returns compiled by newspapers from practically the entire state Senator Harding early today had a lead of approximately 10,000 votes over Governor Cox and seemed assured of Tennesee's 12 electoral votes. Figures tabulated by the Memphis Commercial Appeal from all but 50 of the 'precincts in 93 of the 95 counties of the state gave Harding a plurality of 9,977, and showed Colonel Alf Taylor, Republican candidate for governor leading his Democratic opponent, Governor Roberts, by 37,197 votes. The Commercial Appeal's tabulation did not include Marion and Bledsoe counties, both in the eastern part of the state. Both of these counties are considered safely Republican. Newspaper Totals. The Commercial Appeal's totals were: "Harding 199,759; Cox 189,782. Taylor 198,114; Roberts 160,917. Returns from 93 counties com piled

by the Knoxville Journal and Tribune j gave Harding a lead of 10.801 and Tay-1 lor a plurality of 39,477. The result of the congressional races in two Tennessee districts the third and eighth was still in doubt early today. Complete returns from eight counties in the third district gave Brown, Republican, 2,275 majority over John A. Moon, Democratic incumbent. Republicans estimated that missing counties would increase Brown's lead by at least 500 votes. In the eighth district Lon a Scott, Republican, and Gordon Browning. Democrat, were running neck and neck, and it was said the result might not be known until the official count is completed. ' NEW YORK, Nov. 4. Revised returns from all but 121 of the 7,308 districts of the state, tabulated early today, gave Nathan L. Miller, Republican, a plurality of 63,275 over Alfred E. Smith in the gubernatorial contest. The vote was: Miller. 1,319,5S6; Smith. 1,256,311. All the missing districts are in upstate counties. If Miller's, ratio of gain is maintained there, he will have a total plurality of nearly 75,000. Returns from all but 143 districts give Senator Harding a plurality of 1,659 693 over Governor Cox. The returns tabulated give: Harding, 1,842, 222; Cox, 782,693. Belated figures from upstate dis tricts have increased the plurality of United States Senator James W. Wadsworth over Lieutenant Harry C. Walker above the 400,000 mark. Tho returns, with 2,076 districts missing give: Wadsworth, 1,014,390; Walker, 403.074. If Wadsworth 's ratio of, gain is maintained, his total plurality in the state will exceed 550,000. TRENTON, N. J., Nov. 4. Latest returns today from the presidential election in New Jersey increased Senator Harding's plurality to nearly 300. a)0. With but 218 of the 2.046 districts missing, the vote was: Harding, 516,738; Cox, 220,847. JAP TREATY IS NOT AFFECTED RY RESULT (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 4. Adoption by the California electorate yesterday of the referendum measure restricting the right of aliens to lease or hold real property in that state will not effect, it was learned today, the continuance of negotiations here between the Japanese ambassador and the state department as to the status of Japanese in California and the general subject of Japanese immigration. The heavy majority in favor of the restricting measure, it was said, had been fully discounted in advance and negotiations have made such progress that should a treaty result, it may reach the senate during the winter session. Discussions Are Delayed. The temporary absence from Washington of Ambassador Morris, who has been conducting for the state department the discussions with Ambassador Shidehara, it was said, had only partially delayed negotiations. They will be resumed fully on the return of Mr. Morris this week. The Japanese ambassador conferred today with Secretary Colby, but no statement as to the purpose of his visit was given out. The discussion between the two ambassadors is understood to have progressed so It will be possible soon for the plan which they have in mind to be reduced to form for presentation to Secretary Colby and next to P-esi dent Wilson on the one hand, and to the foreign office in Tokio on the other. Not a Party Issue. All proceedings thus far between the conferees have been subject to such reference and to amendment, approval or complete rejection. . Officials here were inclined to view the majority in California for the antialien measure as tending against its being regarded as a party issue in the senate. In that case, it was suggested, the senate might be inclined to relieve the incoming administration of the necessity of inaugurating new conversations after March 4 and to ratify the treaty as proposed by the retiring administration, if the settlement outlined, was acceptable in principle.

Democratic disaster was inevitable because of the position of President Wilson on the League of Nations, declared William Jennings Bryan in an election statement issued here late today. He said: "The President erected the foundations for the disaster and Governor James M. Cox completed the structure. The President tried to drive out of public life every Democrat who aared to differ from him, even in minute details, while he made no effort to strengthen the Democrats who made bim the keeper of their consciences." Bryan asserted that the people were compelled to choose between presi dential infallibility and "respect of the opinion of the majority of the Senate." Now that our participation will rest upon the .will of Congress and not on the arbitrary opinion of a single man," he continued, "we may expect that a universal disarmament will be made one of the-condilions upon which we attempt to adise. "The country will expect Mr. Harding to carry out his pledge to advance the cause of world peace and there is no reason to doubt that he will do so."

MEXICO SEES HOPE OF RECOGNITION IN REPUBLICAN VICTORY fRy Associated Press) MEXICO CITY. Nov. 4 Reports of I the. election in the United States were j given the entire' front pages of newspapers of this city. Only two journals, however, the Excelsior and El Hiraldo de Mexico, ventured to speculate editorially on what a Republican victory in the United States means for this country. The former sees immediate recognition as one result of the electton, and the other asserts Senator Harding's election "will not be an obstacle to good relations between Mexico and the United States. The Excelsior, which sees in the election a "personal rebuke" for President Wilson, asserts he now "can scarcely be expected to" refrain from recognizing Mexico as a revenge against the Republican senatorial majority, which in the past has assumed an uncordial, and even hostile attitude toward this country." "Harding Not a Fire-Eater." El Heraldo rejoices that Senator Harding is not a "fire-eater of the Senator Fall class," but asserts his statements regarding Mexico seem to be vague and we are confused at judging his ' true mental attitude toward us. His election puzzles us, although we have faith in his ability. Extensive interviews with high Mexican officials are carried by today.'s newspapers, various hopes being expressed that the new administrations of Mexico and the United States may find a common ground for a mutual understanding.

LATE RETURNS ENLARGE LEAD FOR CONGRESS Tennessee Swings into Swelling Republican Column, Shattering Democratic Traditions of a Solid South. DRYS CLAIMlENEFITS , . (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 4 Tennessee has swung into the swelling Republican columns, shattering Democratic traditions of a solid south, unofficial but nearly complete returns from the Volunteer state showed early today. Her shift from the Democratic ranks coupled with a similar upset in Oklahoma, reported late last night assured Warren G. Harding of 386 electoral votes as against 127 definitely in the James M. Cox column and left in doubt but 18 seats in the electoral college, divided among Arizona (3), Montana (4). Nevada (3), New Mexico (3), and North Dakota (5). In all of these states save New Mexico. Harding was in the lead on available returns and even in New Mexico, Republican managers were claiming a Harding plurality though available returns showed a C-x lead. . Republican Tide. Tennessee on the face of returns tabulated by the Memphis Commercial Appeal from 93 of 95 counties,, with 50 precincts missing gave Harding 199,759 votes and Cox 189.782, a Harding plurality of 9.977. Governor Roberts (Dem.) was swept out on the Republican tide and Alf A. Taylor, unsuccessful candidate for governor against his brother in 1886 was elected. No further actual upsets were reported from the solid south, although several towns in Florida and Louisiana and several counties in Georgia ana Alabama broke precedents by piling up Harding pluralities. Sweep Greater. The Republican congressional sweep assumed larger proportions as belated returns continued to come in. The victory of Samuel D. Nicholson, Republican candidate for the senate from Colorado, assured president-elect Harding a majority of at least ten in the upper house, and of five states where senatorial choices had not been determined, the Republican candidates were in the lead in four Arizona. Oregon, Nevada and North Dakota. In the fifth, Kentucky, Republican leaders still clijjg to tht hope'that ".ate returns would overcome the advantage held by Senator J. C. W. Beckham over Richard P. Ernst, his Republican opponent. Comfortable Lead. "The Republicans had secured 257 seats in the house pf representatives to lu2 for the Democrats and four for other parties." Thirty-seven of these contests were in states which gave Harding pluralities, or whose uncompleted vote showed the Republican candidate in the lead. Iate returns also indicated possible -turnovers in cases of some Democratic representatives reported elected. A notable instance was in New York where three Republican candidates reported . defeated Ryan in the Fifteenth district. Ansorge in the Twentyfirst and Rosedale in the Twenty-third had forged ahead of Dooling, Donovan and McKinry, earlier reported elected. One Socialist. The house will have one Socialist member. Meyer London, of New York, who defeated Henry M. Goldfogle, Fusion candidate In the Twelfth. The prohibition party lost its lone representative, but an independent prohibitionist, Milton W. Shreve was elected from the Twenty-fifth Pennsylvania district. Several notable upsets" occurred "in the congressional race among them the retirement by Missouri voters of former Speaker Champ Claris of.tbe house and the electionby. Texas, voters of a Republican Representative Harry Waurzbach. Post-election developments within the ranks of the beaten Democratic party included a tart statement from William J. Bryan, in which he divided blame for the defeat between President Wilson and Candidate Cox. asserting that the former had "laid the foundation for the disaster" and the latter had "completed the structure." Wayne B. Wheeler, legislative counsel of the anti-saloon league of America, issued a statement declaring a check of the congressional election in forty states showed a "substantial majority" in both houses against any beer or wine amendment.
