These incomplete totals gave the Democrats a gain of 25 seats in the House and seven seats in the Senate over the last Congress. The Democrats were leading in five other Senate races and the Republicans in three early this morning. In the House the Democrats were leading in 50 races and the GOP in 70. Senate seats gained by the Democrats Include: Connecticut, In- diana, Maine, Nevada, New Jersey and West Virginia. Keating Upsets Hogan Rep. Kenneth Keating of New York upset favored Democratic state Attorney Gen, Frank Hogan in a close race for the seat held by retiring Republican Sen. Irving Ives. And in Pennsylvania, Rep. Hugh Hart Takes ne Seat From Potter Lt. Gov. Philip A. Hart ousted Republican Sen. Charles E. Potter from his Senate seat in yesterday's balloting. At 3 a.m., returns showed the Democrat polling 979, 67, to 845,- 386 for the incumbent Potter. At 3:10 Potter conceded defeat In early returns, Hart had opened up a bigger lead over his opponent than had Gov. G. Men- nen Williams. Later returns al- tered this, but Hart still polled more votes than any other Demo- crat save the re-elected governor Hart, the newly elected senator Joins fellow-Democrat Patrick J McNamara in Washington. He is regarded as a little less "liberal' than either McNamara or Gov. Williams, his political mentors. Hart was first elected lieutenant governor in 1954, and had served in various appointive positions prior to that time. Sen. Potter, the defeated Re- publican, has served one six-year term in the Senate and had repre- sented Michigan in the House be- fore that. He was known as a supporter of President Dwight D, Eisenhower generally, although sharply differing with him on some issues. Hart, a native of Pennsylvania, first met Gov. Williams at the University Law School. They have been associated ever since. After military service and pri- vate law practice in Detroit, Hart first entered public service on an appointment by Gov. Williams as state Corporation and Securities Commissioner in 1949. He later held successive posts as Director of the Office of Price Stabilization and United States District Attorney for the Eastern Michigan District. Hart was legal aide to the gov- ernor when he was picked to run for Lieutenant Governor after an unsuccessful try for Secretary of State. Potter was born on a farm near Lapeer in 1916. He worked his way through Michigan Normal College with jobs in a sawmill, a foundry and on an auto produc- tion line. He entered the field of social work in Cheboygan county and has considered Cheboygan his home ever since.

Grew Sum WASHINGTON (A) - The 86th Congress, convening in January, 1959, will have 98 Senators and 436 members of the House, instead of 96 Sen- ators and 435 House members as in previous Congresses dat- ing back to 1913. This will mean 50 seats in the new Senate and 219 in the House will be necessary for a majority, instead of the 49 and 218 seats forming a majority in past Congresses. The reason for the increased membership is that Alaska is becoming the 49th state. However, Alaska will not elect its two Senators and one House member until Nov. 25.

By 4 a.m. today the count showed 19 Democrats elected. The party already held 9 governors' chairs not involved in the off-year voting. Republicans had won 5 gubernatorial races, three of them the hard way-by ousting Democrats from the statehouses in New York, Arizona and Rhode Island. But the Democrats turned in five upsets- in Ohio, Maryland, Wisconsin, California and Nevada.
