NATIONAL PARTY TO BE FORMED Sydney, November 11. Following on the defeat ot the cenMre motion, the f/overnor lias issued the following'statement:—"ln view of the Assembly having deliberately refrained from declaring it? eonfidence in Mr. Holman'.' Administration, and because Mr. Wade took control of tlw House from the Premier, his F.reellency wil cease transacting business with the Minister as he is entitled, but will seek the advice of the strongest group in Parliament." Mr. Holman states that a National Party will be formed forthwith. It is anticipated that a Bill to prolong , the life of the State Parliament will be introduced next week and a new Ministry on national lines formed towards the end of the week. The position in the Labor camp is extraordinary. With several Ministers *nd the great majority of thi prominent leaden expelled from the Political Labor League and tbeir endorsement ar- election candidates refused any chance of fceaiing the breach appears very dubious. In a few cases the local unions have refused to accept the ukases of the Political Labor League. POLITICAL CRISIS ENDED.
