ELIOT MAY SUCCEED
 WHITELAW REED
 AS AMBASSADOR
Special from United Press.)

Special from United Press)
 Boston, Jan. 16.-Reports recently current that President Eliot of liar ward is probably to succeed Whitelaw Reid at the Court of St. James were given renewed life here today by a very significant paragraph in the Har- yard Alumni Associations statement that they had given on eambassador.
 The paragraph reads: 'In view of the newspaper gossip which has sug- gested President Eliot as a successor to Whitelaw Reid, the American Am bassador to Great Britain, it is of in- terest to note that Edward Everett, former president of Harvard Univer- sitv). was the American minister in London from 1841 to 1S45.'
 It is stated by Harvard men that there is every reason to believe that President Roosevelt would like to see Dr. Eliot given the place and would welcome his appointment by President Taft.
 As for President Eliot himself. it is announced at the University that he will not raise a finger to get that or any other appointment. It is very generally believed here, however, that ne would accept the place if the posi- ton was rendered him.
