(Press Assn.-
NOT UNEXPECTED

LONDON, Tuesday. A dramatic flash was the announcement that Mr. Henderson was out. His defeat was not unexpected but there was surprise when the size of the Conservative majority 8209, was known. The Liberal vote of 12,502 in 1929, must have gone solidly in favour of Rear-Admiral Campbell. The defeat of the Leader of the Opposition was the most severe blow to the Labourites. The defeat was too sweeping to permit of indisposition being counted as the reason. Mr Henderson has been a political nomad, He has been rejected for many seats, including Barnard Castle, Eastham, Widnes, Newcastle and now Burnley.
