kumor Names Borden
AS British Ambassador
retirement as Canadian Pre-.
lnier Believed Sure; Refuses to
Discuss Washington Place

OTTAWA. Dec. 14.--The report that
Sir Robert Borden is about to retire as
Canadian Premier was strengthened to-
night with the announcement that after
conference of doctors last week Sir
Robert was given medical orders to
give up public life. A meeting of
Unionist leaders has been called to con-
slider the question of his successor.
The report of Premier Borden's
pending retirement was simultaneous
with a rumor that he had been asked
to accept the post of British Ambas-
sador to Washington. The Premier
was asked to-day about the truth of
this rumor and replied, ~ have nothing
to say about the matter"
In political circles the question of a
possible successor to Sir Robert is be-
lieved to lie among Sir Thomas White,
until recently Minister of Finance;
Arthur Heighan, Minister of the In
terror, and N. W. Rowell, president of
the Privy Council.
