Threats that two hotels would be boycotted if they gave him any service whatever have caused Mr Frank Goldberg, of Sydney, governing director of the Goldberg Advertising Agency, to move out of them. Mr Goldberg, who arrived in the city yesterday, said this morning that the alleged reason for the boycott threats was that he had discouraged the Labour Party, that he had assembled the staff of the Waterloo Hotel, in Wellington. and advised them to vote for the National Party, and that he had said that all who voted for Labour had received a “bonus” of £5 each. After moving out of one hotel in the city to save the manager any embarassment by his presence. Mr Goldberg is now ensconced in the vice-regal suite at another. In his efforts to find the cause of the actions directed against him, Mr Goldberg has consulted the Prime Minister (Mi - Savage) who said the matter would be adjusted. Mr Savage himself had agreed that Mr Goldberg was entitled to undertake publicity for the National Party and that everything he had done had been within his rights.
