VOTING HOUR EXTENDED.
THE OAMARU "ELECTIONS. DEMAND FOR INQUIRY LIKELY, f3Z TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] OAMAKCJ, Sunday. The recent municipal election in Oamaru is likely to produce interesting developments. At one of the outlying booths a large number of electors could not gain admission, and when the booth was closed at seven o'clock the Mayor obtained authority from the returning officer to reopen it. Many voters thus obtained admission after the closing hour. A petition for a magisterial.inquiry will probably be lodged. In the meantime the returning officer has asked the Minister for Internal Affairs to issue an Order-in-Council validating his action.
