Show DEMOCRATS MAY NOWJAKE HOPE Even the Republican "Wise Ones" at Washington Expect to Lose the House. NOT AT ALL CERTAIN OF RETAINING SENATE 0 Leaders Admit That Breach in Dominant Party Is Growing Grow-ing Wider. BY EALPH WHITESHDE. By Leased Wire to The Tribune. WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. Now that Washington bns practlcully made up its mind that the next houso Is certain to be Democratic, and that there Is a chance the senate also may bo turned over. Interest In the state campaigns which, havo a bearing on the next presidential presi-dential election Is increasing. Naturally, the Democratic .situation attracts at-tracts most attention, as it is not really believed here that Colonel Roosevelt will either lake the nomination himself In 1012 or favor any movement to deprive Mr. Taft of a second nomination. It is believed, in fact, that after t lie November cloctious the present Insurgents will dominate dom-inate the parly and Mr. Taft will fall into Hue, The principal Interest, therefore, is directed di-rected Toward the elections In Now York. New Jerxoy and Ohio, for In each of these a Democratic victory would place in the field formidable candidates for the Democratic nomination. In Mayor Gaynor. Gay-nor. Pifsldenl Woodrow Wilson und Gov- ', crnor Judson Harmon. Where Bryan Comes In. The action of William .1. Bryan in bolting bolt-ing the nomination of Mayor .llin Dahl-man. Dahl-man. it Is believed, strengthened tho ehnncos for Governor Harmon and I'rosl. J dent Wilson. The main objection of Mr. Rryau to these gentlemen bus been the fact that they bolted his nomination In 1 SOtJ. Since he. as a matter of principle, hatv refused lo support Iho nominee of a convention In which he took a prominent part. It is difficult, lo sue how he can fight Harmon and Wilson for refusing to support the nominee of a convention In which they took no part. There Is a growing sentiment that Woodiow Wilson will bo a big factor If he should carry New Jorsoy. While he would be credited to tho eastern statew, he Is really u .southerner, and would likely like-ly got good support from tho most Democratic Demo-cratic section of the slates. What to do with Speaker Cannon Is one of tho knotty problems with which the Republican congressional committee is wrestling Just now. About the time congress adjourned tbe officers of this committee agreed that Ihc venerable speaker accompanied by e.v-Ropresontu-tlvc Watson of Indiana, should make a long .speeeluuaklng tour. The plan wan to put him aboard a private car the first of October and send him into many of the doubtful districts.
