Al the embassy this morning il was
nmphatica1ly denied that there were any
known grounds for such rumors, even
that the ambassador would shortly leave
Washington. under any circumstances.
II was stated that the relation be-
tween the Washington post and the
home Office were most cordial. and that
there could not be more satisfactory re-
lctions between the embassy and the
White House and State Department. At
the State Department also IL was said
that no Official intimation as to Mr.
Hengeimuller's withdrawal from Wash
Ington had been received
II was said at the embassy that the
ambassador hnds his duties In Wash
ington as pleasant today as when he
nTst arrived here. Owing TO the IN
certain health of Baron des Planches il
is generally considered as only a matter
OF time when the dean or the diplomatic
post VIII be forced to resign. when the
honors will fall upon the next Oldest
ambassador IN point or service at this
capital. That would mean a much COW
