THE FEDERAL REFERENDA
RETURNS STILL INCOMPLETE. DISSATISFIED WITH THE RESULT. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Sydney, May 1. The referenda figures are still incomplete, though the small balance to come cannot affect the result. Approximately, out of a vote of over a million, the referenda was defeated by a quarter of a million. Mr. Hughes is not satisfied at the result, and alleges that the returning officers in some booths recommended electors to vote "No." Investigation is being made of this and other allegations. Mr. Hughes also states that the referenda proposals will be submitted at the general election in 1913. He claims that on the decision of the minority which had chosen to vote the Commonwealth was still unable to legislate with regard to industrial powers and monopolies. MR. FISHER'S ELECTORATE. Brisbane, May 1. Wide Bay, Mr. Fisher's electorate, voted strongly against the referenda.
