From H. KING WOOD
After what must
Sydney, Nov. 24. be the greatest tussle in referendum history, the vote for 10 p.m. closing of hotels has been carried by 9,000 votes—and so` the way is paved for what could be sane drinking in New South Wales.
This time last week 6 p.m. held a lead of 10,000, and it seemed as if this lead was going to take some running down-so much so that when it was suggested that Cabinet might still give a trial to 10 p.m. closing, there were several loud wails that the Government should obey the will of the people.
Now 10 pm chwing as we the story and Inter closing of hotels will be intrudurend encty
