New York, Nov. 6.

Thus far, according to the latest figures, 114 Demo. crats and twelve Republicans have been elected to the House of Representatives. It is also known that the Democrat Governor of New York is re-elected and that the trend of the polls is distinctly pro-New Deal. The Democrats will have a solid majority in Congress.

These are facts from the front. There are other facts, less pleasant for contemplation by the Administra- tion. Seven men have been slain in élection feuds of one sort or another, five of them machine-gunned in Pennsylvania, one more killed in Missouri and another in Kentucky,

Thirty million persons are believed to have voted, 2,000,000 of whom were in Cal fornin where the Sinclair-Merriam race for the governorship is being fought. It is believed that Merriam (Republican) has the early advantage.

New York, Nov. G. President Frankin D. Roosevelt has won a clear "right of way" for the New Deal for another two- year period as a result of the elections in forty-seven states to- day. This is conceded even by the Republican "strong men" who watched the early returns here, rolling in a steadily incrensing majority for Democrats from the Eastern and Midille Western States.

London, Nov. 6. A formula by which the present naval conversations) may be safely continued was suggested by Sir John Simon, the guardian of the British interests at the Lon- don parley, when he had an interview with Mr. Norman Davis, chief of the United States delegates, to-day.

Sir John emphasised the fact

that the British Government desired to see an understanding

reached which would enable the

1935 Naval Conference to be called with some hope of succeSA.

Mr. Davis informed the British Foreign Minister that the Ameri- can delegation of experts was prepared to continue the talks on the new basis that Sir John has in mind,
