INVERCARGILL ELECTION.
WHY LABOUR STOOD DOWN
NATIONAL EXECUTIVE'S DECISION,
(By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day. An official reply has been given the "Star's" correspondent by Mr. W. Nash, M.P., secretary of the national executive of the Labour party, to the allegation of Mr. J. Hargest, Reform candidate for Invercargill, that the local supporters of the Labour party were astounded to learn that Mr. O'Byrne and Mr. D. G. Sullivan, M.P. for Avon, had notified the central executive of the party that it had been decided not to put up a candidate. Mr. Nash said: "Mr. Hargest has been entirely misinformed of the attitude of Mr. Sullivan and Mr. O'Byrne in regard to the nomination of a Labour candidate for the Invercargill' by-election. Mr. Sullivan reported the result of his visit, and made no recommendation whatever. The national' executive of the Labour party made its decision after careful consideration of all the facts of the political situation at Invercargill."
