SIR JOSEPH WARD INTER- \ VJEWED. ) SE='AVII^VNftF^I3*"TH®-'.trA!Bl^ r':'r/-miß. .'. (By Tetegcaplirrlwssa Asß9«a,tJQo4, WELLINGTON, Last Nigfit. , A Dxmedin suggestion that the leadership has been allocated to the Hon. J. A. Millar was. mentioned to the Prime Minister on his arrival in Wellington from the .North to-night. Sir Joseph Ward said:— "The position is exactly as I indicated to the House. I have not changed the opinion I arrived at.and publicly stated. The suggestion that T made equivocal reference as to the colleagues to be selected by the new leader has no justification. I have held one opinion all along, namely, that the new leader should select his own colleagues, and I have never at any Time suggested' that the new leader should be hampered in his selection by submitting his prospective Cabinet to a caucus' meeting. I have been communicated with since my arrival here regarding the suggestion that I was likely to hold a portfolio in the netv Ministry, but I should like to give L-an emphatic contradiction, as J have no intention J of doing anything of the kind." \
