CONTEST FOR REMUERA
RETIREMENT OF MR ENDEAN AUCKLAND, Tuesday It was announced by the Leader of the Opposition, Mr S. G. Holland, during an address in the Town Hall tonight that the sitting National member for Remuera, Mr W. P. Endean, had agreed to retire in favour of Mr R. M. Algie, the candidate chosen by party supporters in the electorate. The speaker reviewed the developments of the past few months and said that soon after it was announced that a general election would probably be held this year he decided that he should remain at his post, and Mr Endean was chosen by the Parliamentary Opposition to go to Britain. Mr Endean’s retirement was in a splendid spirit of selfsacrifice and patriotism, concluded Mr Holland amid applause. Mr Endean, who won the Remuera seat .then known as Parnell, in 1930, as the Reform candidate, practised as a barrister and solicitor for nearly 30 years until his retirement in 1929. He is well known in the sporting world and served with the Royal Navy in the last war.
