A REPORT DENIED
NO SELECTION OF NAPIER CANDIDATE. It was reported recently that Mr. C. J. Parr, M.P., and Mr. Vernon Reed, M.P., had paid a visit to Napier for the purpose of selecting a candidate for Parliament in the interests of a "new party." Yesterday the Acting-Prime-Minster (Sir James Allen) received the following telegram from Mr. Parr, who is at present in Auokland:— "Mr. Vernon Reed is at his home in Kawakawa, North Auckland. On our joint behalf, please accept emphatic denial of Press report that we were engaged last week choosing a candidate for Napier, and that we are going round the country on returning from the Townplanning Conference. I called at Napier on private business with Mr. Reed, who was visiting his sister. I hear Sir. Vigor Brown's friends have political nerves and sea an ennny in every bush. Yon may show this 'To Cabinet and the Press."
