The Senatorial race between Senator David I. Walsh, Democrat, and Frederick H. Gillett, Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, is one of the closest that Massachusetts has seen in years.
Both parties claimed the victory, but none of the Boston papers would concede the election to either man. Gillett was leading by a few thousand votes, according to reports received early this morning.
