[edit] To update
I'll fish out the references and write this in but my recollection from reading The Times for the period is that originally there were Conservative, Labour and Liberal candidates, though the Labour candidate stood down early on. During the course of the by-election some prominent Liberals had letters published suggesting it would be better to let the by-election go unopposed because of the problems of elections in August. In the end the Liberal stood down on the 25th, but this was because the previous day the National Government was formed, and he felt the political situation had changed so drastically as to make a contest undesirable.
