Surprise Result On Saturday
London, Nov. 18..
The return to Parliament as one of two members for Oxford Uni- versity of Mr. A. P. Herbert, well- known nov list and humorous writ- er, who has closely associated him- self with the demand for reform of divorce and licensing laws, caused a surprise when the result was an- nounced late on Saturday,
Oxford hitherto had been re- presented by two Conservatives and Mr. Herbert's candidature as an Independent was generally taken lightheartedly.
In the result Lord Hugh Cecil, Conservative, headed the poll and Mr. Herbert was second with a large majority over the other Con- servative candidate.
