ILFORD BY-ELECTION
CONSERVATIVES RETAIN SEAT
(British Official News.) Press Association—By Wireless—Copyright
RUGBY, February 25. The by-election at Ilford, which was caused by the death of” Sir Frederick Wise, resulted as follows: — Sir George Hamilton (Con.) ... 18,260 Air Av S. Comyns Carr (Lib.) 13,621 Mr Dtr Gruchy (Lab.) ... ... 8,922 The figures at last election were:— Sir Frederick Wise (Conservative), 22,825; Mr Chater (Labor), 8,460; Mr Morris (Liberal), 7,780. The big increase in the Liberal vote may bo attributed in some measure to the* personality of Air Comyns 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.
