JAMES b. DUKE MAY BECOME
SUBJECT OF GREAT BRITAIN
Indications That He Will Spend Much
Time in London.

A London cable to New York Sun
of January IS says:
The leasing of Crewe House, the
property of the Marquis Of Crewe, by
James B. Duke, the American to-
bacco man, has raised the question
whether or not Mr.. Duke will ulti-
mately entirely live in England and
become a British subject, like William
Waldorf Aston. The Sun correspond
en- understands that this is not likely.
but the renting of the house will mean
that Mr.. Duke will spend at least six
months a year in England, mainly on
account of his increasing duties as
president Of the British-American To-
bacco Company.
Crewe House is on Curzon street in
Mayfair, directly across the street
from Sunderland House, the home of
the Duches of Marlborough, who was
formerly Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt.
1t is one Of the most attractive resi-
dences in London. The reason tho
cause he was baked in his desire to
