CHRISTCHURCH SOUTH
POLLING IN BY-ELECTION TODAY. THE EARLY INDICATIONS. (By Telegranh—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. About 1,600 electors voted in the first hour after the booths opened in the Christchurch South by-election today. On these figures it is expected that the poll will not be as heavy as at the General Election, when 13,775 votes were cast. , After a frosty morning, the weather was improving when the booths opened and the sun made its appearance shortly after ten o’clock. At noon it was warm and sunny. Elderly people, who had not braved the earlier snap in the air, were then beginning to arrive at the booths in fairly large numbers. The poll will close at 7 p.m. and the returning officer expects his first return by four minutes past that hour. At the general election he announced his final result at 7.20 p.m., that being a New Zealand record. His aim this evening, is to equal that.
