ESTIMATES OF PARTIES.
NATIONALISTS IN LEAD. FIVE SEATS DOUBTFUL. CEr Cable.—Press Association.—CoDyrljht.) (Received 11 a.m.) SYDNEY, this day. On the strength of the latest returns the '"Morning Herald" has revised its estimate as follows:—■ Nationalists ............... 30 Labour 26 Country party 12 Independent and Liberals .. 2 Doubtful 5 | It now appears almost certain thatMr. Poynton (Postmaster-General) and Mr. Laird Smith (ex-Miuister of the Navy) will lose their seats, and that Mr. Massy Greene (Minister of Defence) will give place to a Country party member. A feature of the elections is that all the members of the old Labour party who joined the Nationalists, with the exception of Mr. Hughes, have been swept out. These include Messrs. Poynton, Laird Smith, Lamond, Higgs, Chanter, and Thomas.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
