bassador, Theodore f. Runyon this
morning, was communicated to the
president by the United Press. Be
yond that information the government
had not been advised of the startling
news. Its occurrence at so early an
hour in the morning, of course, pre-
vented the possibility of anything like
general circulation. 1t is certain that
the president and state department
will have official notice before the
hour for beginning of business to-day,
when whatever action is necessary 10
be taken, will be promptly attended
to.

SOmerville. y. j.. October 26, 1922. He

J., a position retained until 1864. when
he became mayor of the city. He was
appointed, in 1856, a commissioner to
revise and codify the militia laws of
New Jersey. and in 1857 was made
brigadier general and subsequently
major general of the New Jersey
national guard.
At the outbreak of the civil war he
was placed in command of the New
Jersey brigade of volunteers.
In 1865 he was democratic candidate
for governor of his state. but vas not
elected. From 1873 to 1887 he was
chancellor of New Jersey. In March,
1893. he was appointed by President
Cleveland American minister to Ger
many and shortly afterwards was made
ambassador. The degree of LII. d..
