TASMANIAN ELECTIONS
CLOSE CONTEST EXPECTED ONE SEAT BETWEEN PARTIES HOBART, Feb. 18 An extremely close contest is expected in the Tasmanian State general election, to be held on Saturday. The Labour Government in the last two and a-half years has depended upon the vote of a Douglas Credit member, Mr. Carruthers, for its majority. It is considered unlikely that Mr." Carruthers will be returned, and if a Nationalist should win the seat and the other seats remain unchanged, both •parties would be represented by 15 in a House of 30.
