VIENNA (Reuters) - Austria's conservative People's Party (OVP) on Sunday chose as finance minister Hans Joerg Schelling, several media outlets reported from a party leadership conference in Linz.

The OVP, junior partners in a coalition with Social Democrats, had to pick a replacement for Michael Spindelegger, who quit last week in a row over tax reform.
