ESTIMATES VARY

The newspapers are full of esti- mates of the results, which vary widely, and the only safe predic- tion, perhaps, is that whatever happens the results will not be so spectacular as in the last election, when 225 members of the previous Parliament lost their seats and 13 cabinet ministers were defeated.

Counting will begin immediately after the close of the poll in over 200 constituences, but in the re- mainder it will be postponed titl Friday. All but a few scattored results will be known by Friday evening. It is expected that about

100 results will be known by mid- | night to-morrow.
