Egan is the law partner of County Commissioner Morton Witkin and former attorney for the Republican City Committee. It appeared yesterday that the Republicans had succeeded in electing 20 members to two for the Democrats, maintaining the same proportion as the present body. BALLOTING IS CLOSE It is possible that the official count might upset the picture presented yesterday, particularly in West Philadelphia's 4th District, and in the Strawberry Mansion-Brew-erytown 7th District. Regardless of the outcome of these contests, involving a total of seven seats, the Republicans will retain control of Council.

LINE-UP MAY CHANGE So few votes separated the apparent winners and losers in the doubtful districts that discovery of errors in tabulating the balloting or the soldier vote, still to be counted may change the line-up indicated by the unofficial returns. The vote in the 4th District was so close that it took the count of the last division in the 4Gth ward the 36th to determine whether one or two Democrats would win. MAXMAN DEFEATED As it now stands, it appears that the Republicans succeeded in reelecting four incumbents and losing one, George Maxman, a captain in the Air Forces, who made his campaign in absentia.

REFERENDUM APPROVED The margin of the Edge victory, in a contest watched by the Nation for indications of the 1944 Presidential trend and of the, strength of a labor candidate, surprised even the most optimistic of G.

Just as surprising was the decisiveness of the referendum vote in favor of drafting a new State constitution, for ratification or rejection by the elecorate a year from now.

It was evident from the unofficial count that the votes won by former Congressman Michael J.
