BY-ELECTION IN N.S.W.
(Received September 15, 6.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, September 15.
Another New South Wales House of Assembly by-election as a result of the resignation of Mr Eric Spooner to contest a Federal seat was held on Saturday in the Ryde electorate. There were five candidates, three of whom were representing rival schools of Labour.
However, the Government candidate, Mr A. J. Mitchell, seems likely to retain the seat when the preferences are distributed early this week. His primary votes total 7522, while his nearest opponent, the official Labour candidate, Mr A. Williams, has 7580.
