PERMIT FOR EXTRA DAY CLUB'S ACTION CRITICISED POLITICAL PRESSURE ALLEGED Criticism of the action of a trotting club in approaching the Minister! of internal Adairs for an extra, permit; was voiced by the president, of the New Zealand. Trotting Conference, -Mr. IT. P. Nieoll, at the annual meeting in Wellington on Wednesday. Referring to the club’s efforts “to bring political pressure to bear upon the internal management of the conference's ad'airs,’’ and the fact that the club’s letup- to the -Minister made grave allegations against the executive, of favoritism and lack of consideration for the claims of the club in quest ion, Mr. Nieoll said the '.Minister was very naturally disquieted at the direct charges preferred against the management. He made careful inquiry into the. position, personally and through his departmental ollieers, with the result that he was -at is lied the charges made were entirely groundless, aiid he agreed to llu> recommendation which had already been made by the executive for the niloc-aiion of the spare permit.

“I do not suggest I lint wo arc infallible, ’ ’ said Air. Nie.oll, “kilt we declare that all ivr do and decide isjroii, accord iag to our judgment, will bo host Cor tin* sport as a whole.'-'
