MISSOURI ISlf BIG DOUBT
Hard State Ticket Fight Favors the
Republicans
St Louis Nov 5 The electoral
vote of Missouri is in doubt late re
turns from the city of St Louis and
from rural districts reducing the
strong lead of Bryan so that it is im
possible to say definitely who has car
ried the state
Tho complexion of the next legisla
ture is also In doubt though the indi
cations are that tho Democrats will
control it by four or five votes on joint
ballot This will assure the re-election
of William J Stone to the Unit
ed States senate The Republican
senatorial nomination is in doubt be
tween Richard C Kerens and John C
McKinley
The Republicans have apparently
elected Herbert S Hadley for govern
or by at least 8000 plurality and the
probabilities are that he has carried
the entire state ticket with him Com
plete returns from the city of St Louis
give Hadley a lead of 16000 The
Democratic counties show almost uni
form Democratic losses on the govern
orship and it is Impossible at this
hour to see how a Democratic major
ity outside of the city of St Louis can
wipe out Hadleys lead
Harry M Coudrey Republican of
the Twelfth Missouri congressional
district is re electod
Returns compiled this morning from
every county in the state give Bryan
a lead over Taft in Missouri of sixty
seven votes From eighteen of the 114
counties however complete returns
have not been received and for these
counties the statisticians made careful
estimates Returns from the missing
precincts may change the result one
way or another and it is probable that
the official count alone will determine
whether Missouri gives its eighteen
electoral votes to Bryan or to Taft
The same tables which give Bryan a
lead of sixty seven votes give Hadley
for governor a lead of 15148 making
his election over W S Cowherd an
absolute certainty This is the first
time in nearly thirty five years that
Missouri has elected a Republican gov
ernor
CONNECTICUT NJB 0 P LIST
Republicans Carry State by Increased
Majority
New Haven Ccnu Nov 4 The
great size of the Republican victory in
Connecticut yesterday was evident
this morning when William H Taft
was found to have a plurality of 38
450 Debs polled 2804 and Chafin the

this year
Taft in Lead in Maryland
Baltimore Nov 5 The political
pendulum has swung once more and
on the faceof unofficial returns Taft
has carried Maryland by 13G votes
Unquestionably the official count
which began today must be looked to
for the actual result and neither side
will feel convinced urftil the result
of that count is made known There
must be taken into consideration too
the possibility of a divided electoral
delegation as while figures are lack
ing it is known that the votes for the
several electors have varied and this
variation may prove material
