Woodrow Wilson overcame his
electoral vote advantage by car-
rying the pivotal state of Cali-
fornia by only 4,000 votes.
An Associated- Press reporter,
who telephoned Hughes' hotel, was
told, "the President-Elect 'has re-
tired for the night and cannot be
disturbed."
Hughes Story
"Well," said the AP man, "when
the President-elect wakes up in
the morning, . tell him he isn't
President-Elect any more."
President-Elect John F. Ken-
nedy is a keen student of Ameri-
can history. He could hardly be
blamed if that bit of history
haunted him Tuesday and yes-
terday during the longest, closest
and most dramatic presidential
election in nearly half a century.
Yesterday, he and his wife re-
tired to their summer home at
Hyannis Port on Cape Cod to
await the election returns. A
continent away, Republican can-
didate Richard M. Nixon settled
down in a hotel suite in Los An-
geles for the same purpose.
First State
The first state to complete its
vote was Connecticut, which gave
its eight electoral votes to the
Democratic Senator from Massa-
chusetts. In Hyannis Port, rela-
tives reported Kennedy "jumped
with joy."
Massachusetts and South Caro-
lina joined Connecticut in the
Kennedy electoral column, and
Nixon carried his first state, Ver-
mont.
An hour later, Kennedy's pop-
ular vote topped 7 million and
his margin over Nixon reached
800,000. The Democratic candidate
seemed on his way.
But Florida fell to Nixon and so
did Virginia. And in Los Angeles,
the Vice-President was reported
"quietly confident."

G T OP Takes,
Second Loss
In 24 Years
Eleven Republicans
Hold Congress Seats
DETROIT MA - Michigan has
decided for only the second time
in 24 years that it prefers a Demo-
crat in the White House.
And it also has named another
Democrat to take the over when
Gov. G. Mennen Williams steps
down from the statehouse office
he has accupied for six consecu-
tive two-year terms.
With returns virtually complete
from the state's 5,074 precincts,
Michigan gave Democrats a clean
sweep of all top state offices and
sent Sen. Patrick V. McNamara
back to Washington for another
six years.
Better Showing
McNamara made a better show-
ing than either Sen. John F. Ken-
nedy, the president-eect, or John
B. Swainson, the governor-elect.
Complete returns in the sen-
atorial race gave McNamara a
118,356-vote plurality over hig
Republican opponent, Rep. Alvin
Levels
MARGINAL:
Republicans
Hold State
Legislature
DETROIT (W) -- Republicans
surged back into control of both
houses of the Michigan Legisla-
ture today.
By thenarrowest margin pos-
sible, they regained House ma-
jority, 56-54, after battling
Democrats for two years in an
unprecedented 55-55 standoff.
Held Majority
They held to their top-heavy
22-12 majority in the Senate.
The GOP resurgence in the
House helped offset another Dem-
ocratic sweep of state offices.
The results may very well have
set the stage for more of the bit-
ter, inter-party wrangling that
has wracked state government for
years.
Got Seats
Republicans grabbed Demo-
crats House seats in Oakland and
Muskegon counties while Demo-
crats picked up one held by Rep.
Robert S. Gilbert (R) Saginaw,
who is retiring:
"This is certainly good news,"
said House Speaker Don R. Pears,
Buchanan Republican; who pre-
sided for two years over frequent-
ly stalemated sessions that pro-
duced legislation only with big-
partisan support.
Thus, the State of Michigan
finds itself in essentially the same
position as before the campaign.
The Legislature is still controlled
by the Republicans-this time by
a definite majofity. The state
House is still in the hands of the
Democrats, only this time their
popular-mandate was not quite so
decisive.
WASHINGTON C(m'} -President-v
Elect John F. Kennedy will have
a Congress of reduced Democrat-
ic majorities in which coalitions
of Republicans and Southern
Democrats may be a dominant
force on many issues.
The Republicans scored gains
in both the Senate and House in
Tuesday's congressional elections.
With the last Senate race set,-
tled in late returns, Democrats
were assured a 64-38 Senate ma-
jority in the 87th Congress which
convenes Jan. 3. This is down two
from the 66-34 margin they now
hold.
Score Gain
In races for House seats, how-
ever, Republicans already have
scored a net gain of 19, winning
167 while the Democrats won 256.
In still undecided contests Re-
publicans led Democratic" rivals
for 10 more seats, while Demo-
crats were ahead in four others.
The House lineup had been a
283-154 Democratic majority in
this now expiring 86th Congress.
Republican - Dixie Democratic
coalitions have been potent fac-
tors in deciding many an Issue of
the past, or at least forcing a
compromise to suite, their views.
These are loosely knit groups
teaming together when they feel
like it, going their own ways when
they don't, and sometimes not
unanimous in either choice.
Count Support
House Republicans figure that
on many issues they can count on
support of 80 or more Southern
members, to swing a .majority
vote. In the Senate, the Republi-
cans often have been able to
team up with 18 to 18 Southern
senators, and also swing; a ma-
jority.
As few as 140 House Republicans
teaming with 80 Southern Demo-
crats could command one more
than the 219-vote majority. In the
Senate 16 Southerners and 35 Re-
publicans could produce the 51-
vote majority needed in that 100-
member branch.
These teamups often involve
economic and civil ,rights legisla-
tion, and both/ are expected to
be issues in the 'coming Congress
session.

Hoffa Attempt
Fails To oust
House Rivals
WASHINGTON ()-James R.
Hoffa, the Teamsters Union chief,
scored a spectacular flop in try-
ing to purge from Congress a
group of House members who ran
counter to his wishes on 1959 la-
bor legislation.
Out/ of 40 such House members
actively opposed by the leadership
of the vast Teamsters organiza-
tion only one has been defeated.
Thirty-nine were elected again
in Tuesday's balloting despite
Hoffa's opposition.
This was not Hoffa's greatest
blow in the Tuesday election, how-
ever. The election of Sen. John
F. Kennedy to the White House
apparently was a much bigger
cause of worry for him.
The Teamsters union chief ac-
tively campaigned against Ken-
nedy. He never, however, quite
urged Teamsters to vote for Vice-
President Richard M. Nixon.

The silence of the Nixon camp
was broken at 3:23 a.m. when the
GOP candidate conceded defeat-
but only if the current trend con-
tinued.
Kennedy went to bed without
any victory statement.
As Kennedy slept, Nixon cut in-
to his popular vote until the Dem-
ocratic margin slipped below one
million.
Kennedy arose in mid-morning
to find that his actual electoral
vote stood at 281, eight short of
the needed 269. Victory had elud-
ed him as he slept.
Then, at 12:33 p.m. EST, while
attention was focused on the
drama in Illinois and California,
Minnesota, almost forgotten, gave
its 11 electoral votes to the Dem-
ocrats. They boosted Sen. John
F. Kennedy's total to 272 and made
him President of the United
-States.
