PINAL RESULTS SOME TIME AHEAD. There has been no further alteration in the licensing poll figures. Two batches of soldiers’ votes, however, will be counted early this week. These arc: Tho Arawa, with about 7.29 men on board, and the Carpentaria, 575 mpn. This will leave three troopships jot to come in: Pupafoa, approximately 600 men; Devon, 22; Rimutaha, 670. The last of these b'oats is due a few days before tho end of the month. There is still outstanding, however, a return of the voting of the soldiers in Samoa—some 200 in all. These votes arc fo bo counted in New Zealand in the same way as transport votes; and as a mail from Samoa is not expected until the second week in June it will bo some timo before the final and authoritative result of the poll can be made known. 1 |
