CHANGE IN PLANS
ALL BLACKS AT HOME BRIGHTON VISIT OFF ACCOMMODATION LACKING (Kloc. Tol. Copyright—United Press As'sn.J (Ran}. Dec. 28, 2.40 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 27. The All Blacks have made a lastminute change in arrangements and cancelled the visit to Brighton where, it was learned to-day, Sir Harry Preston is unable to accommodate them at the Royal Albion Hotel. They will go tomorrow to the. Welsh seaside at l'orthcawl, where they will remain until they travel to Twickenham. Sir Harry Preston says: "1 am terribly distressed at a situation over which 1 have no control. The New Zealanders made reservations in April, but on Christmas Eve we were booked out. I anticipated that most of the visitors, would depart on Boxing Day, but they stayed on. I arranged for alternative accommodation for a section of the New Zealanders, but it apparently is unsuitable as the leaders require that all of the party, numbering 40, should be under one roof.
