EARLY BRITISH GENERAL ELECTION PREDICTED.

HOME POLITICAL SITUATION REPORTED ELECTRICAL (Received October 11, 7.35 p.m.) LONDON, October 11. The ‘“Daily Chronicle” predicts a general election in Britain before Christmas. (Received October 11, 11.40 p.m.) LONDON, October 11. The political situation is electric. It is expected Mr Lloyd George’s next speech to the Lancashire Coalitionists will be a 'vigorous counter-attack upon the critics of the Government’s Near East policy. He particularly will answer the accusations that the British Government sought war. Mr Austin Chamberlain is expected to deal with home affairs. The Unionist members of the Cabinet met at Downing Street this afternoon. Mr Balfour cancelled a public engagement in order to be present. Sir G. lounger also met the Coalition whips and the leading Unionist agents. Some predict that. Mr Lloyd George will resign, and will A. 1 leave the Unionists to carry on the Government until a general election is held, but it is certain Mr Lloyd George has no intention of retiring from political life.
