ENGLISH ELECTION
BEGINS TODAY;
RESULT IN DOUBT
Balloting, in Progress in 90 Con-
stituencies, Is Expected to
Indicate Outcome.
MANCHESTER AND LONDON
TO STRIKE KEYNOTE
Workers Face Difficulty in Get
ting Out Voters Who Have
Changed Residences.

LONDON, Dec. 3.-The fight for con-
trof Of King Georges first Parliament,
with all that such control portends as
to the future status of the House of
Lords, home rule for Ireland and tariff
reform, began today with polling in
sixty-nine constituencies.
Early this afternoon foroty-two un-
opposed returns had been made, which,
with the fifteen unopposed nominations
of yesterday, brought the aggregate of
members elected up to hfty-seven.
With these figures the state of the
parties now stand:
Government Coalition--Liberals IS;
Labor members, 0; Irish Nationalists, s.
opposition-U nionists, 81.
The Unionists are putting up a much
stronger fight than on the two previous
contests, and the betting is now even
that they viii secure a net gain of
twenty seats, which would put them on
an even footing with the Liberals and
Laborites combined, thus leaving the
Irish Nationals in absolute control of
the next Parliament.
Last Elections Result.
The elections for the preceding Par
lament which gave a ministerial ma
jority of pa made the composition of
the last House of Commons as follows:
Government oalition-Liberals, 2T5;
Labor members, 4e; Nationalists, IL:
Independent Nationalists. IL. Total, S97.
Observation-Disclosures 273.
Both here and at Manchester the
determined efforts, as the results in
London are expected to give the key
note of the situation in the south of
England, while those at Manchester
are looked upon as indicating the senti-
ment in the north.
The workers at the polls today are
fighting under the most difficult con-
ditions experienced in recent years,
especially In districts where the work
ing classes predominant, as the re-
movals and fluctuations of population
in these working districts run as high
as 75 per cent. in some cases Motor
cars are being used to overcome this
condition to trace the shifting voters
and bring them to the polls. In some
cases voters are coming to London from
Bristol in the west, aid York in the
north, and one of the candidates has
the task OF bringing to London and re-
turning to Wales members of the Met
ropolitan police. who are engaged in
strike duty at the Cardiff mines.
