HOOVER CHEERFUL WATCHING RETURNS President Spends Morning at White House Reviewing Results of Balloting. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Like millions of other Americans, President Hoover arose a little earlier than usual this morning and eagerly sought the latest news about yesterday’s balloting. Things were .looking dark for his party when Mr. Hoover retired shortly after 11 o'clock last night after re- ceiving the returns in his study with Mrs, Hoover and a small party of friends and he refired with the hope that the morning would bring better news.

In both of the remaining doubt- ful seats should go to the Democrats the line-up would be 48 Democrats, 47 Republicans and 1 Farmer-Labor mem- ber. Assuming that Senator Shipstead of Minnesota, the Farmer-Labor mem- ber, would vote with the Republicans on organization, there would be a tie. In case of a tie vote in the Senate the Vice President is entitled to vote. Three Contests Undecided. The tWwo contests still undecided were in_ Minnesota and Kentucky. In the Bay State Marcus A. Cool- , Democratic candidate, apparent- ly won over former Senator Willlam M. Butler, the Republican nominee, and in Minnesota, Einar Hoidale, the Demo- crat, also was leading the blind Sena- tor Thomas D. Schall, Republican. Very little has been heard from the other doubtful State, Kentucky, because of a new election law under which the counting of ballots was not begun until this morning. In that State Senator John M. Robsion, Republican, is cer- appointed & year ago when former Sen- la’p: Sackett, Republican, became Am- bassador to Germany, He has two Democratic opponents, Ben Willlamson, for the remainder of the Sackett term, and Judge M. M. Logan, contesting for the six-year term beginning next year. Net Gain Is Seven. The Democrats picked up eight Sen- ate seats now held by Republicans, but they lost one other, making their net 8ain seven, accor to latest reports. The contests in which there were up- sets in favor of the Democrats were: In Colorado, where Edward P. Costi- gan defeated George H. Shaw, the Re- publican, for the seat now held by Sen- ator Phipps, Republican. Senator Phipps was not a candidate for re-elec~ tion this year. In Illinois, where former Senator J. Hamilton Lewis decisively defeated Mrs. one of the most widely Taces thhexel.ln Mrs MecCormick had ob- tained the Republican nomination by (Continued on Page 5, Column 2.) bership if Robsion, Republican candidate in Kentucky, is finally found to have lost the election. The political complexion of the Senate under such conditions would.be 48 Democrats, 47 Republicans-and one Farmer-Labor. Shoul® Robsion be elected over his Democratic opponent in Kentucky, the Republicans would have 48 seats and the Democrats 47, with the Farmer-Labor Senator. making up the total of 96, Democrats Pick Up 31 House Seats, The Democrats have won 31 House seats now held by the Repub- licans, according to definite reports. The Republicans, on the other hand, have gained only one seat held by the Democrats, the eight Illinois district. This is a net gain of 31 seats already assured. The Democrats must win a net total of 53 seats to have a ma- Jority of one in the next House of Representatives, With about 70 congressional districts still to be heard from,the Democratic leaders insisted they would carry a majority of the House when all retumns House or Insurgent are In. .Whether the Democrats have numerical control of the Senate is immaterial to the actual control of those Republicans, acting with the Democra | district, a Republican strongl represent Five ‘Kentucky seats, now held by Republicans, if won Democrats, may tell the story as far as the House is concerned.
