LONDON NOTES

By The Air Mail

(From Our Special Correspondent)

London, Feb. 5.

I have referred on various oc- casions to the pourparlers pro- ceeding at Oxford regarding the choice of Conservative candidates for the university at the next general election. The position there seems to have reached a deadlock.
