A QUESTION OF PARTY FUNDS, By Telegraph.—Pres3 Association. Received Oct. 14, 10.15 p.m. Sydney, October 14. Al tlie Wheat Inqusy in connection with the evidence regarding the financial position of Mr Grahame (Minister for Agriculture) the question of the payment of a large sum of money for the lease of Kensington racecourse cropped up. Mr Griffiths, who was Minister for Works at the time of the lease, in evidence said that according to stories then current one or two thousand pounds, allegedly from the racecourse people, had through Mr Grahame (then Party Whip) been handed to Mr Holman for Party funds. Mr Griffiths saw Mr Holman and insisted that the money be returned or he would leave the Cabinet. Mr Holman, in evidence, said Mr Grahame handed him an envelope containing a thousand pounds for Party funds. He did not know from what source it came. The matter was reported to the Cabinet and after inquiry it was decided not to accept the money, which was returned.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
