The President made no comment on the returns from the general elections, but Postmaster General James A. Farley, who talked him by telephone from New York city, said he was "overjoyed with the returns throughout the nation." There was no doubt about the enthusiasm, over the result; but Mr.

Roosevelt already was thinking about White House and the nation's problems. He will go Washington by-special train tonight and will be at his desk tomorrow. Government- leaders held a conviction that the end, of the. campaign will lead to a more' normal progress of administration activities. The president, beyond airy doubt; has a well developed picture of national conditions after a summer and fall while politics were bubbling.

The aged Doumergue, former president who came from retirement to form a government after fatal street riots last February, is expected to give Lebrun the resignations of the entire cabinet. Eduard Herriot, one of the six Radical Socialist ministers who broke with Doumergue over his program for increased power and constitutional reform, probably will be called on by the president to head the government. He was expected to accept and keep the present ministerial lineup almost intact. Failing him, Pierre Laval, "like Herriot a former premier and ar member of the Dou- mergue cabinet, was mentioned as a likely designate. The troubled days of February were recalled as authorities took elaborate precautions to nip in the bud any attempts at outbreaks in the streets.

AH available mobile guards and gendarmes were brought into the city. Troops in the Paris region were held in their barracks, ready to act. Large forces of police were massed about the Chamber of Deputies, and. the foreign, office.

Taylor, by the slim majority of 13,853 votes. He defeated the incumbent, Joseph D. McGoldrick.

Still smarting from the disastrous reverse in 1933 when Mayor F. H. LaGuardia and his Fusion administration were swept into control, Tammany enlisted the aid of former Governor Alfred E. Smith in the closing days of the heated campaign. With the race in doubt until the last few districts were polled 829,916 votes to 816,061 for McGoldrick, his Republican opponent, who was backed by La- Guardia and the Fusion administration.

McGoldrick, Fusion incumbent, by the margin of 13,855 votes.
