' The party leaders are apparently well ahead, but Mr Groves (Minister of Railways) and Mr Cuthbertson (Honorary Minister) are both in a precarious position. The nett result of the election seems to be a stalemate, as neither the Labour nor the Nationalist-Country fusion will be able to' hold office with dependence on the unstable Indepen dents. z _
