MAJORITY CONFIRMED. LIBERALS PUTTING THEIR HOUSE IN ORDER By Cable—Preis Assoc'a'ion—Copyright. Received June 13, 11.30 p.m. Sydney, June 13. Rain continues, interfering with telegraphic communication. Returns are still dribbling in, and a large absentee vote is still to jount, but this is unlikely to materially alter the result. Although six o'clock closing has recorded 129,533 votes over all other hours, the absolute majority as provided for in the Act is only 64,/67. The Liberals intend making a big bid at the next State election, and are already reorganising and putting their house in order. They have engaged Mr. 'Percy HunWr, late liead of the Government Immigration Department, as special genera) organiser, at a handsome salary. Negotiations are being completed whereby the Liberals and Air. Beeby's Progressive Party, while not actually coalescing, will work in mutual support.
