TOUR POSTPONED
THE PRIME MINISTER
A SLIGHT INDISPOSITION
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day.
A slight indisposition of the Prime Minister, Mr. Savage, has caused a postponement of his northern tour which was to have begun from Auckland on Monday. Mr. Savage was suffering from a minor indisposition when he arrived from the south, and immediately after being greeted at the station he left for his hotel, where he retired to his room. A statement was later issued that owing to a slight indisposition it was necessary for the time being to postpone his tour. Mr. Savage stated that he was keenly disappointed at not being able to'carry out the programme next week, but he hoped that the postponement would be for a short time only. He trusted that in the circumstances he would be forgiven for any inconvenience which might have been caused to those people who had been good enough to make arrangements for his reception at the various centres.
Mr. Savage is accompanied by the Hon. P. C. Webb.
It is stated definitely that there is nothing serious- in the Prime Minister's illness and that a few days' rest is all that is necessary.
