LIKELY TO BE CLOSE
ELECTION IN TASMANIA
THE PRESENT POSITION
(Received February 18, noon.)
HOBART, This Day.An extremely close contest is ex* pected in the Tasmanian General Election 'on Saturday. The Labour Government in the last two and a half years depended- on the vote of a Douglas Credit member, Mr. Carru> thers, for its majority..
It is considered unlikely that Mr. Carruthers will be returned and, if a Nationalist wins his seat, and the other seats remain unchanged, both parties would be represented by 15 in a House of 30.
