SYDNEY, June 3. • | To-day's progressive returns have not affected the position of the parties. I Though the ( absentee votes have yet to i. be counted m almost every electorate, '■ they are not likely to do more than ' • vary, more or less to a considerable '■ extent, the individual majorities al- i ready established. | i . Tha Senate figures also tend to emphasise the position already notifu"!. | , The Referenda returns, though they show a slight affirmative majority, are too .unrepresentative yet for any deductions to be made. ,/ t ThV fights at Illawarra — where the J;vt"est figures give Labor a lead of 140 — jind at Ballarat, where the Liberal is Reading by 14 — are still going strong. ! .'A ) large absent vote is yet to be count- ' t ed;, and is expected to favor Labor at Ballarat and Liberal at Illawarra. ■It is anticipated that a recount will bs asked for m each case. j : In the event of Labor winning both it will give the Government a majority i of, ono seat. Sir W 7 illiam Lyne and Sir John Quick are definitely defeated. ', ■■■
