Government that they should reconstruct, and take in Yogel and Hall. A DENIAL. "Yogel said he has never made overtures to the present Premier for a coalition", or authorised any one to make them. When he separated from Stout he determined he would not again onter any Cabinet ia New Zealand gave as Premier. A strong Government was needed.

Yogel and his followers withdrew, and the resolutions were therefore carried br 44 to 4. j
