VACANT PORTFOLIO.
INTERNAL AFFAIRS MINISTER.
AUCKLAND APPOINTMENT DENIED.
BY MEMBER FOR PARNELL.
"I know nothing about it at all. I ha\e not been approached on the matter, and as far as I know it has never been suggested. Daring my visit to Wellington I was in the company of the Prime Minister quite a lot, and the position of Minister of Internal Affairs was not mentioned." These remarks were marie to a "Star" representative by Mr. J. S. Dickson, M.P. for Parnell and Chief Government Whip, when he arrived by the Limited Express from Wellington this morning. Mr. Dickson left Auckland on Wednesday to attend to private business in the Empire city, and prior to his departure it was rumoured that he had been approached to take over the portfolio of Minister of Internal Alfairs. Mr. Dickson added that he did not know who was in the running, and as far as filling the vacancy was concerned nobody knew the Prime Minister's mind on the matter.
