COUNT UPSET
CHANGE OF REPRESENTATION LIKELY United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, March 31. The counting of the postal and absentee votes is proceeding in the State elections. Surprise was caused when additional votes for the Murrumbidgee electorate gave the Labour candidate, Mr Enticknap, a lead of 46 over the retiring Country Party member, Mr Hankinson. Earlier in the wp«k Mr Hankinson had a majority of about 100 and it was expected that the postal and absentee votes would favour him, but now it appears likely that he will lose t’ - seat, in which case Labour will have won two seats at the election.
