POLITICAL BOMBSHELL
DISRUPTION IMMINENT. IN COALITION GOVERNMENT. BEFORE SESSION OPENS. (By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.") WELLINGTON, this day. A hint has appeared in the local Reform Press that a disruption of the National Government is imminent, and an announcement will probably be made in a few days. This is well founded, for it has been evident since the party leaders' return from England that party lines are becoming more obvious, and the prospect of the National Government being maintained to meet Parliament was becoming more remote. I Events ate moving so rapidly in Cabinet that it is now practically certain that dissolution of the compact will occur before the session, and that the Liberal party will appear as the official Opposition. There are significant rumours of a Liberal Minister having made decision to carry his portfolios under Mr. Massey's leadership.
