By Associated Press. New York, Nov. 5. With refurm from many states incomplete, President Coolidge appears to have been elected by a landslide similar to that given Harding in 1920.

La Follette is assured of the electoral vote of Wisconsin only. Figures based on the early returns today show the electoral vote of Coolidge is 343; Davis 13; doubtful 39. The return are insufficient to show whether Coolidge has a working majority of Republicans in the House. except vvhnt they had on Hi.
