The fifth day of the election ended with the parties still running neck and neck, with the prospect that they will come under the wire in almost pre cisely the same relative position they held at the start. Returns had been received up to midnight from the vot ing for 419 members, and the result Is a Unionist gain of two seats in that number over those held by that party In the last Parliament. This amazing result is as unprece dented In English history as It Is em barrassing to politicians of all fac tions. Both parties went Into the elec tion predicting great gains. Both are now convinced that the new House of Commons will be virtually identical with the old.

Forty-four seats were balloted for to day. Returns were received from 21 of these, and from 44 which were bal loted for yesterday. In these 65. the Liberals gained Radnorshire and Bed ford, while the Unionists gained Esk dale. The contests were close nearly everywhere.

He replied that he could not give details regarding this measure at this stage. John Redmond, speaking In Dublin, said: "The election has already killed the veto power of the Lords and the aboli tion of the veto means the establish ment of Home Rule."
