Close Voting Requires New Count London, July 1. The Government candidate has won, by a narrow majority, the by-election in the St. Ives division of Cornwall necessitated by the elevation to the peerage of Mr. Walter Runciman. So close was the voting that a recount was ordered.
The figures were: Mr. Beecham (Lib. Nat.) 13544 it. Isaacs Foote (Lib.) 12834 Mr. Beecham beat his opponent by 210 votes. At the last elect Mr. Runciman, as he then was, was returned unopposed.—Reuter.
