Murphy Scoblick was at the due election for the seat tenth of Pennsylvania as his successor in the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington DC chosen, where he took up his new mandate on November 5, 1946. Since he was elected at the same time for the next legislative session in Congress, he could remain until January 3, 1949 there.
