CHRISTCHURCH SOUTH.
Per Press Association. v .CHRISTCHURCH, December 8. . There is a possibility of a second ballot in South Christchurach. Mi- Eli has only polled nineteen votes in excess of an absolute majority of valid votes, and 44 absent voters' permits were issued, and, in addition, there wej;e 146 informal votes cast. There is also some likelihood of the second ballot in Christchurch East being between Dr. Thacker and Mr Hunter, instead of between Dr. Thacker and Mr Davey. Qf the total number of absent voters' permits issued, the returning officer has received seventy-three, and it is possible that these may contain sufficient; votes for Mr Hunter to place him second .on the poll. The scrutiny of Christchurch East poll- and count takes place to-morrow.
