By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright.
Sydney, October 22. A statement has been made that before Lord Denman left England in . 1911 King George, besides expressing a very definite view regarding the desirability of retaining.tho Government House at Sydney as a residence for the Governor-General, intimated his desire to visit Australia at an. early opportunity, and to use the Government House as a residence during his sojourn in New South Wales. Mr. Holman (Attorney-General) characterises the statement 'as extraordinary. He denies that the Government received a communication conveying these views. The only definite information seems to bo the conversation which the King had with Mr. Paxton, the Australian delegate to the Chambers of Commerce Congress. The Colonial Office, however, Mr. Holman says, used the King's name in a dispatch to Mr. Fisher in a way suggesting that His Majesty was personally interested. New South Wales Ministers were not. taken into Mr. Fisher's confidence on this point.
