R0YALI575 HOLD
 NARROW LEAD NOW |IN GREEK VOTING
(By Associated Press)

The Conservative Populist CRoy- alist) Party held narrow lead in near final returns today from the Greek election, but it may not be included in a new coalition gov- ernment.
 A surprise was the showing made by the newly-organized Leftist Ma tionalist Progressive Union, which ran second to the Populists.
 The Liberals, under former Pre- mier Sophocles Venizelos, came third. Before the election, Venizelos and other party leaders said they would not enter coalition headed by Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Constantin Tsaldaris, who heads the Populists.
 This presented the possibility that middle road and leftist parties might unite to form government, leaving Tsaldaris as the main op- position leader in the 250-member parliament.
