“GREAT MISCHIEF” TO PARTY.

London, Mar. 6.
Mr. Baldwin's leadership of the Conservative Party which is being hotly ansailed by a certain section of the London Press and which is being directly challenged in the by- election at St. George's. Westminister, was the sub. ject of comment by three political personalities to-day, Mr. Alfred Duff Cooper, Sir Ernest Petter, and Mr. Bald- win bimself.
