ELECTION DATE
NO DECISION YET PROBABLY IN OCTOBER FINISHING THE SESSION MEMBEBS EAGER TO LEAVE [BY TELEGRAPH —SPECIAL REPORTER] WELLINGTON, Friday An indication that the date of the general election could not be fixed until toward the close of next week, when it would be seen whether the business of Parliament could be finished, was given in an interview this evening by the Prime Minister, Mr. Savage. Although there was still a g°pd deal of business to come before Parliament, said Mr. Savage, there was nothing contentious, and the House should be able to complete its work by next Saturday with ease. It depended entirely on the members themselves and most of them seemed to be anxious to get away. _ The belief in Parliamentary circles is that either October 19 or October 26 will be the date selected for polling day. Mr. Savage is anxious to get the election over early, and _ October 19 would appear to be practicable u t e House rises next Saturday.
