ME. MASSEY DELAYED BY RAIN.
CAR REACHES TARAWERA. [BY TELEGEAPH.—SPECIAL BEPOBTEB.] ROTORUA, Wednesday Members of the Cabinet considered the railway strike this morning, after which the Prime Minister and his secretary, Mr. F. D. Thomson, left by motor-car, with the intention of going to Napier, and thence to Wellington. Word came through to-night that thev had reached Tarawera, S2 miles from Napier, without incident, but the roads were in a very bad state, and they were waiting advice to see whether it was possible to proceed at once. Mr. Massey's fortitude in attempting the journey, particularly after his recent stay in hospital, has impressed the visitors very deeply, and the pluck and vitality he has displayed have rraen commented upon freely.
A later Press Association telegram from Napier states that Mr. Massey, on his way from Rotoraa to Wellington via Napier, had arrived at Te Pohue at 10 p.m. This is about two hours from Napier. The roads arc very bad. When communicated with by telephone, Mr. Masse v advised that he had no statement * to issue until he reaches headquarter?. '
