lave a majority of at lelfet^slx In the

on returns of all but three of th?r
436 congressional districts. The throe
districts still doubtful are tho 30th
and 32nd election districts in Penn- j
sylvan la and New Mexico congress- 1
man at large.
The soldier rote Is likely to deter
mine the outcome in the two Penn

If the three districts still In doubt !
all elect Democrats, the combined
rote of five Independent members
would be enough by onp-to- swing the
house, if ail a4%M^^Hpferrats.
Of the indepsMentsTtwO are ex- 1
j pec ted to act generally with the Dent- |
ocrats, two mors will attend the Re
publican caucus, and the fifth Is ex
pected to act with the Republicans.
The ltnenp of 117 Republicans to 310
Democrats, shown by U>e present re
turns. may be changed if there are
contested districts.
j If this lineup stands, no matter
what the outcome of the three dis
tricts yet in doubt, the) Republicans
will be able to elect a speaker, or

(By United P *6)
Washington, N. ?3. ? President
Wilson In back to work In Washing
ton. He (aces a vast Job, which
must be cleaned up rapidly. Pend
ing the receipt of a message from
Charles E. Hughes, conceding a Dem
ocratic victory in the recent election,
the President has withheld any an
nouncement regarding his policies
during the next four yearB. He in
timated today, however, that he will
issue a statement upon receiving
Hughes' congratualtions.
Mr. Wilson is also working on his
opening message to Congress. There
is continued doubt an tVUfc* compo
sition of the House of Representa
tives. it still being uncertain which
party fill hold the balance of power.
This, as well as the speakership is
temporarily delaying the formation
of the proposals Mr. Wilson wishes
to make in his first message.
Regardless of the make-up of the
House, however, the President will
urge the cleaning up of the program
he proposed when he secured the co
operation of Congress In settling the
threatened railroad strike.
International matters also demond
the attention of the President. He
must soon return to diplomatic In
tercourse with Great Britain and the
selxure of malls by tho Germans. The
submarine activities of Germany are
also in an unsettled stage.
Nothing has been said as yet about
any change In the President's cabi
net. He is entirely satisfied with his
official family, it was learned author
