SWEKT, Klerted to Congress from the Third District REPUBLIGI1NS 111 Altho Administration Probably Will Retain Slight Advantage in Both Branches of Congress. PROGRESSIVE VOTE DWINDLES GREATLY Republican Gains Were Made in Every Section of Country, Especially in New York State. New York, Nov.

4. The Democratic party thru yesterday's election apparently retains control of both branches of congress, altho gains made by the Republicans In the lower house threaten to reduce the Democratic majority to a minimum. This is the outstanding feature of yesterday's general election, aside from which the most significant development was the dwindling away of the strength of the Progressive party. Returns from every section of the country indicate that the Pro-eresslves. who cast a larger vote than the Republicans in 1912, have been absorbed in large part by that party.

In almost every case there was a decisive falling off in their vote with the conspicuous exception of California, which apparently has re-elected Hiram Johnson, its Progressive Republican gains were made in every section of the country and leaders of that party asserted that the tariff issue was instrumental in tirineine about that result. Some of the more optimistic of the leaders asserted early today that there was a chance that the Democratic majority in the house of representatives would be overturned, but there appeared to be small prospect of such an outcome.
