Earlier in the day Midland lawyer Frederick Hacker suggested that being an ambassador was a possible future ac- cupation for McMurtry. A few days after his fourth place finish on Jan. 26 in the four man race to succeed William Davis as leader of the provincial Tories, the senior Davis Cabinet member announced that he would not seek re- election. McMurtry has been Ontario Attorney-Ge- neral since his election in October, 1975. Hacker, who openea his home to a meeting of MeMurtry and local Tories during' the leadership race, also suggested early on Monday that his friend could become a professor, a judge, or again a lawyer, or an MP. Both McMurtry and Hacker worked on the Davis 1971 leadership campaign, Hacker said. MeMurtry, 52, will replace Don Jamieson, 63, a former Liberal cabinet minister in the spring at Canada House in London. Hacker said he had talked with McMurtry since the leadership convention but not since McMurtry announced his decision to leave provincial politics. Wednesday, February 6, 1985, Page 3
