AUSTRIAN GOV'T, HAD RESIGNED President Accepts Resignas tion and New Govern. ment Will Be Formed (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Vienna, Nov. 29.--The Ause trian cabinet headed by Chancellor Vaugoin resigned today and Presi« dent Miklas accepted the resigna- tion. The Christian Social Party of which Chancellor Vaugoin was & prominent member, decided Thurs day that he should resign. The new chancellor probably will be Dr. Ramek, a former holder of that post, or Eduard Heinl, both Christian Social adherents. It was Vaugoin, then vice-chane cellor, who brought about the resignation of Joharn Schober, as chancellor several months ago. Schober then formed the Economic Party bloc and holds the balance of power in the present parlia- ment. Schober is co-operating with the Christian Social Party now and in all likelihood will be in the new ministry. Toronto, Nov. 29.--Ontario will have a new Prime Minister before next week is very far advanced. Premier G. Howard Ferguson announced last night that *"'with- in a few days" he will tender his resignation and a successor will be appointed to the post which he has held continuously since he led the Conservatives to victory over the Drury Government in June, 1923. Mr. Ferguson's announcement, coming as the sequel to an Ottawa despatch, set at rest the past week's province-wide fever of spec- ulation as' to his future. At the capital, it was announced that the Federal Cabinet had passed an or- der-in-Council appointing Mr, ¥Fer- gugon to the Canadian High Com- missionership in London. The Prime Minister's course thus was set clear but not the equally importany question as to who will succeed him. Hon. George S. Henry, the Minister of Highways, is widely regarded as the certain choice, but Hon, W, H. Price, At- torney-General, and .Hon, EH, A. Dunlop, the recently-appointed Ferguson's Appointment To London is Announced Mr. Ferguson gave no intimas tion as to who would succeed him but it was stated on very high aus thority that the cabinet and cau- cus have approved the selection of Mr. Henry. By reason of his appointment ta his London post, Mr. Ferguson automatically terminates his 26« year representation of Grenville in the legislature. Never defeated by the electors of his mative county, Mr. Ferguson was the dean of the House, its senior member in point of contiuous rperesentation of the one seat, Seat Automatically Vacant He will continue, however, as prime minister until his sucfpssor is named. His seat in the House automatically becomes vacant bee cause of his appointment to a posi. tion of emolument under the crown in the right of the Domine ion. He stated last night that while actually he was already out as a member of the House he would forward a formal resignation as a member to the Speaker, Hon, T, A. Kidd, within a few days,
