THE POLL

London, June 23.

with 118 votes while his lieutenant, Mr Harold London

Wilson, secured fifth place with 147 votes.

Mr Bevan walked out of the "cabinet" in April last year after foreign policy quarrels with Mr Clement Attlee, his official leader.

Bevanites are believed to have a close sympathiser in 43-year-old Anthony Greenwood, who gained tenth place in the election among the 277 Labour Members of Parliament with 91 votes.
