LABOURITES SUSTAIN HEAVY REVERSES
MANY PROMINENT LABOUR LEADERS DEFEATED
LARGE CONSERVATIVE GAINS
BIRMINGHAM, MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL NOW CONSERVATIVE SOLID,
London, Yesterday.
Polling closed in a fog which caused the loss of n number of votes. Many homeward bound workers were delayed until after the polling booths had closed; other would-be volers failed to find the polling booth in time to vote; while a few electors declined to leave their comfortabic firesides to turn out in the fog.
In spite of the murkiness, large crowds awaited the results in Trafalgar Square and other vantage points, but the numbers were not so great as on previous elections, owing to cinemas and theatres keeping open to announce the results.
While crowds in the streets cheer the results to-night, the King, who has returned specially from Sandringham, will hear the results in Buckingham Palace by tape machine, telegraph, and wire- Jess till a late hour.
