PACIFIC CABLE BOARD.
CRISIS OVER CHAIRMANSHIP.
POSITION NOT YET FILLED.
(Received July 26, 5.5 p.m.) A. and N.Z. LONDON, July 25. The members of the .Pacific Cable Board, including Sir Campbell Stuart, met; to-day and considered the crisis caused by Sir Campbell's refusal of the chairmanship. Mr. M. F. Headlam, who represented the Treasury, presided. He submitted Sir Campbeil's letter, in which he said the chairmanship was a whole-time job, with whole-time remuneration, which his mem. bership of 20 directorates rendered it impossible for him to accept. It is understood that the board will be unable to proceed with the matter of the chairmanship until the members have been authorised by their respective Governments, to whom the matter had been referred. As Sir Campbell Stuart was Canada's nominee it is considered probable that Canada will again nominate a chairman, subject to the approval of Britain, Australia and New Zealand.
