MAORI TOUR NOW CAUSING SHARP TALK.
OFFICIALS ACCUSED OF SLACK METHODS. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, June. 21. In reference to a telegram from Gis borne, Mr S. S. Dean, chairman of thi New Zealand Union, said that the statement that the union had appoint <sd the. selectors for the Maori team was incorrect. Mr Dean com nented rather severely on the apathy and inattention of the Maori officiate who never troubled to t reply to letters. Mr Dean said that he had gone to Levin to attend a
Maori Advisory MR S. S. DEAN. Board, and when he got there he found no meeting and that no arrangements had ever been made for it. The secretary was then changed, but the position was most unsatisfactory and had matters been left the Maoris Advisory Board, with its haphazard and unbusinesslike methods, the tour would never have come off at all. “ The New Zealand Rugby Union hopes that the remark that the tour will not cost it anything will prove correct, but it is not so sanguine as the promoters about it, and in any erase the board should be deeply indebted to the Xew Zealand Union for the excellent arrangements made for the tour by it and by Mr Wray, its representative in London.”
