AUCKLAND "SCOOP" SUSPECTED. (By Telegraph. —Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Wednesday. The Otago Daily Times, in an editorial, siays it is to be surmised that the offer with which the Auckland City Council has closed was not an unsolicited one on the part of Yale University. The New Zealand Institute and Australian Association for the Advancement of Science had innocently assumed that the university wae in treaty only with the Government for its co-operation in promoting the cause of astronomical research. There seems, however, to be no reason to doubt that while the scientific bodies in the Dominion were under this impression the university had been approached from " several sources" with suggestions that the finances of New Zealand were so desperate that there was no hope of any negotiations with the Government being carried to a successful issue, and that if its plans were not to come to naught it was to the Auckland City Council it should apply.
