HUGHES SCARED.

I ABOUT COMING ELECTIONS. j (Received June 25, 5.5 p.m.) MELBOURNE. June 25. j Unless the Hughes Government ! should be defeated in the meantime, it ! is unlikely that the Federal elections : will be hold until the present Parliament expires by eflluxion of time in February. It is understood that Mr Hughes’s . recent stumping trip through the various States has convinced him that nothing is to be gained by an earlier appeal to the people. Mr Hughes has announced th a-. his Cabinet has put the finishing touches on its programme for next session. It * is understood the Governor-General’s speech will deal with supply, superannuation for the Public Service, Treaty ratification, the proposals for a tariff .agreement between Australia and New Zealand, the redistribution of seas, ; amendments to the Defence and \rbiI tint ion Acts, uniformity of company j legislation, and land and income taxI at ion. WAS HENLEY DROPPED? (Received June 25, 9.15 p.m.) SYDNEY, June 21. Though it has been officially denied, I there seems to be some ground for the I rumour that a contributing factor to | Sir T. Henley’s resignation from the ! New South Wales Cabinet was a want of unanimity among the Ministers over the North Shore Labour bridge.
