The tentative returns of the parliamentary elections throughout Roumania which took place yesterday were made known.

According to these figures the government lists gained 60% of the number of deputies, the lists of the peasant party 17% the liberals 15%. Socialists 6%. Several members of the anti-Semitic Cuza party were elected in Transylvania.

The election of five Jewish deputies seems to be secure.

It seems that the government list was victorious in the large towns throughout the country. The elections passed quietly, with the exception of Moldawa, wher skirmishes took place among the voters.
