FINAL COUNTS

GENERAL ELECTION FIGURES,

(CLOSE VOTING IN RANGITIKEI.

MR CLINKARD SAFE.

WELLINGTON, Dec. 10.

Real doubt as to the outcome now remains is only one electorate, namely, Lyttelton, where Mr J. McCombs, Labour, is still uncertain of his return to Parliament. The official returns are coming to hand rapidly, and it is expected that the last will be forwarded to the Chief Electoral Office by the end of the week or by the beginning of next week at the latest.

A record poll for New Zealand for any one man, was secured by Mr W. ? Nash, Labour, in Hutt, where he obtained 9187 votes, and his amended majority stands at 2823. ; The voting was very close in Rangitikei, where Mr J. T. Hogan, Independent, was defeated by Mr A. Stuart, Coalition, by only 13 votes. | The provisional count gave Mr Stuart a majority of 114. In Dunedin West, Hon. W. Dowme p Stewart, Coalition, improved his posi--1 tion to win the seat by 924 votes. Details of the official counts are given below.
