It is understood that the president of the New Zealand Racing Conference has received a protest from ,thc committee of the Auckland Racing Club that the manner an which the voting was taken at the. election of the executive committee at the recent annual meeting wf the conference, was in direct contravention of Part HI, Rule 5 of the Rules of Racing, that the voting was taken upon the ruling-of the chairman on the one man one vote system, which the Auckland Racing Club’s committee claims clearly 'renders the election void, and that no executive committee has been legally elected or is in existence. It is understood that tlioi president of the conference has decided to declare the election of the- executive committee void owing to the voting at the election not being in accordance with the votes specified under Part 111, Rule 5, and that a fresh election is therefore, necessary. It has been stated that the president is consulting all representatives present at the recent meeting of the conference whether they are agreeable for a ballot to' be taken without going to the expense of holding a special meeting of the conference ito elect an exec ative committee.
