C.—From Incomplete re turns it appears In the general provin cial elections, the first held on party lines, that the McBride government is probably defeated, for out of 42 mem bers the liberals have surely elected 18, conservatives 18, socialists .2, labor and doubtful 8. Of the doubtful ones Comox and Kamloops are likely to go conservative, so that at the best the labor and socialist members will hold the balance of power in the house. The election was one of surprises all round, as It was fully expected the government would win a sclld major ity of seats throughout the province. Joe h^rtin being defeated in Vancou ver somewhat simplifies the leadership of the liberal party, as W. W. B. Mc- Innes will now likely be the man, al though many liberals object to him. Later Returns. Victoria, B. C., Oct 7.—Late re- turns from outside constituencies somewhat c flange the figures of the provincial elections.
