N.S.W. ELECTIONS.
NO-LICENSE POLLS. TWO DISTRICTS GO DRY. TWELVE CARRY REDUCTION. Sydney, Thursday. The country electorates of Goulburn, Gloucester, and Bartley carried reduction. The Court will be faced with a problem in the Mosman and Dulwich Hill electorates, which carried reduction. Each contains two hotels, and the Act empowers the court to reduce up to 25 per cent, of the total number, while it also enacts that the court shall carry out the will of thfi electors. The count has been delayed until the counting of the electoral vote has besn completed. Though the official figures cannot be obtained, it is known that the city electorates have voted for a continuance of the present system, while a dozen suburban electorates, viz., Ashh'eld, Burwood, Canterbury, Dulwich Hill, Drummoyne, Granville, Gordon, Hurstville, St. George, Mosman, Petersham, and Ryde, have carried the reduction proposal. It is understood that several country electorates have aiso been found in favour of a reduction. There is a bare possibility of Gloucester voting for local option. The second ballot campaign is aleariy in full swing, and both sides are making strenuous efforts to secure the balance cf the disputed seats.
