H Levien, S.M., shows Lieutenant-Colonel W H Fortune (National) to be elected by a majority of 8, the figures include only the forces’ votes notified to October 11, the date when the writ was returned. The returning officer said to-day that further results had been received showing Mr W T. Anderton. the sitting Labour member, as having a majority over Lieutenant-Colonel Fortune of 14. it is understood that 256 forces’ votes for the whole of New Zealand are still to come in Only a small proportion is likely to be for Eden, and it is not expected that Mr lead will be materially reduced.
