CHRISTCHURCH DISSATISFIED.
(P«r Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, last night. A good deal of astonishment has been expressed in' the city at the announcement of Captain Halsey that the movements of tho battleship NeAv Zealand m Dominion waters are being arranged by his Excellency the Governor. This is interpreted to mean that the Government is arranging the tour, although Mrj ; Massey has stated very explicitly that! all arrangements were m the hands of J .the Admiralty. JMr Cyrus Williams' (secretary to the Harbor Board), who] cabled to Captain Halsey on Saturday j regarding the berthing of the ship m ;the inner harbor, has (received the fol- , loAving cable : "Not arriving m Lyttelton until after visit of Auckland m May. Will communicate further concerning entering: port of Lyttelton." Previously Mr Williams had suggested to the Mayor that a special meeting of the committee should be called, and that further representations should bo made to the JPrime Minister. Accords ingly the Mayor telegraphed to. Mr Massey : ' 'Citizens of Christchurch strongly urge that H.M.S. New Zealand should visit Lyttelton first after Wellington." Mr Holland was asked if he would make a statement regarding tho latest developments m the matter, namely, that tbe programme was m the hands of the Governor. He declined, but added, Avith a smile, that the matter Was too closely allied to party politics
