SEATS IN ABBEY
EARLY ALLOCATION LIKELY (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, Jan. 20. The Press Association learned from a reliable source tonight that a committee of allocation, under the chairmanship of the Prime Minister (Mr Holland) , will meet in the near future to consider the allocation of seats available in Westminster Abbey to New Zealand visitors to London for the Coronation. This meeting, which will most probably be held in the next fortnight, will consider the final allocation of seats in the Abbey, and will also determine those who are qualified to receive an invitation, to attend the ceremony there. Applications for seats in Westminster Abbey should reach the Secretary of Internal Affairs in Wellington not later than next week.
