at between 10000 and 30, 900.

Although both sides claim MAORI

seems nevertheless to be a feeling

many states doubtful, might be pro-

there wal unoficial talk that the de-

into the house of representatives.
There were suggestions also that
there might be in some states bitter
contests over the integrity OF the re-
turns, which might be drawn out for
days. with the result Ringing on a
recount.
