B — (C?) — A bitter fight between Liberals and the Union Nationals tonight held prospects of a stalemate resulting {Arum today's Quebec general elec- ons. Five hours after polls closed. Union Nationals was in the osition, but it was not known if t would elect sufficient members- to give it a. clear-cut majority. Union Nationiile representatives held 39 seats against 3'7 Liberals; and were leading in seven others against Liberal leadership in a single seat. The Bloc Po ulalre had elected four members, .C.F. one and Nationalist one. ._ The Union Nationals ap cared in the best position to en with the greater number of seats but It was considered doubtful if they could obtain an over-all majority in view of the handful of candl- dates of other designations elected. iluc. Election Highlights By The Canadian Press Maj. Paul Sauve, only candidate among the 331 running now serv- iiig overseas, was returned in Two Mountains as Union Nationale re- presentative. He won handily from three opponents. Maurice Duplessis, Union Na- tlorialo lender. was the first man to be assured of personal re-election. He swept to victory over two op- ponents in Three Rivers with such a margin that his re-eleotion was ‘conceded within 5D minutes of the time the polls closed. Premier Godbout was re-elected in L’Islet. l-Iis margin of some 8CD votes was more than 200 flbOVB hi! margin in the same riding in i939.
