MR KEIR HARDIE INJURED.
Per Press Association,
Wellington, Last Night. Mr Keir Hardie, M.P., met with an accident yesterday which will-de-tain him in Wellington for some days. He went to Titahi Bay in the Mayor’s motor car, which broke down. Another car was procured for the return trip to the city, and, as Mr Hardie had a public engagement, all haste was made. When near Johnsonville, two carts were met, leaving little space. The steering gear of the car failed to act properly, and in endeavouring to turn so as to get past the carts, the motor went over an embankment. The Mayor, the Hon. T. W. Hislop, and the chaffeur were not hurt, but Mr Hardie was badly bruised, and is believed to have some ribs broken. He is now staying at the residence of the Mayor.
