Divisions.

HOBART, June 11
The Tasmanian election count is proceeding. The Government’s majority is likely to be reduced from ten to two, namely: Nationalists 16, Labour 14. A feature of the polling was that Labour headed the voting in all the five electoral divisions, but the distribution of preferences will alter the position where the contests were reasonably close.
Sir William Lee, the Premier, said that the voting showed a return to what had been the normal relationship between the parties before 1928, when the majorities were always extremely slender.
