that he is in demand everywhere he

Starting off with a few appropriate
jokes, most of them on members of
the Hickory club, whose names he
putt at the right place, Mr. Brazil had
the 'comipany . singing merrily. For
diversion he divided the audience and
had one side sing "Pack Up Your

New York, Nov. 9. Continued Re- .,
publican control of congress, but with
a senate majority cut in two and
a house majority of 160 slashed to
a scant hand full, appeared today
as the net result of last Tuesday's
congressional election with returns
almost complete. Tight races in the
few" undecided districts not affect
ing the general result and delays in
counting, however, threatened to post
pone the final figures until tomorrow.
The general pictue of Tuesday's
storm of ballots was virtually finished
early this morning when belated Mon
tana returns sent the Republicans over
the top in the house contest. Election
of R. Scott Levitt, Republican in Mon
tana, gave the Republicans the : 218
votes necessary to control the next
house, but even there the Republican
tidings were coupled with nes of
defeat of a Republican congressman.
