CONSCRIPTION POLL.
"YES " MAJORITY POSSIBLE. The latest figures in connection with the Australian conscription referendum are: — No 973,980 Yes ... 891,905 Majority against 82,075 The Sydney Morning Herald voices a growing opinion that with the counting of the absentee votes there is a possibility that the referendum decision will be altered.
