ILFORD BY-ELECTION
CONSERVATIVE ELECTED BIG JUMP IN LIBERAL VOTE Rugby, February. 24. The by-election at Ilford caused by the death of Sir Frederick Wise, resulted as follows: — Sir George Hamilton (Conservative)' 18.269 f Mr. Comnews Carr (Liberal) ... 13,621 Mr. de Gruchy (Labourite) 8,922 The figures at last election were: I Mr. Wise (Conservative), 22,825; Mr. I Chafer (Labour), 8460; Mr. Morris (Liberal), 7780. The big increase in the Liberal vote may be attributed in some measure to the personality of Mr. Comnews Carr, who is a King’s Counsel and one of the most promising men at the Bar. In Liberal circles, however, the result, following the recent Liberal success at Lancaster, is regarded with great satisfaction as further evidence of a Liberal revival.—British Official Wireless.
