DODGE GOES TO TOXIC:
Secretary of Embassy at Berlin Sue
ceeds Huntington H'isOn.
IFrom The tribune Bureau !


Washington Aug I'll. Percival Dodge. now
ferred 10 Toxic. where he will also fill the posi-
tiOn of first secretary This transfer is pursuant
10 the general policy instituted by Secretary
Root that secretaries and other attaches or
embassies and legations shall not remain more
than "a reasonable time at a single post II is
the belief of the Secretary Of State that by re-
tanning only the efficient members of the diplO-
matte service and transferring them from time
10 time their abilities will be enlarged and their
increased experience gained wilt the more
quickly fit them for the promotion which the ad-
ministration designs for those who show special
aptitude and render faithful service.
AS the United States maintains embassies az
both Berlin and Toxic. the transfer of Mr.
Dodge cannot be said to be a promotion. al
though such transfers are generally regarded
under Secretary Roots policy. as a recognition
of efficient service and as carrying an intimaton,
if not promise. that further promotion is in
store for those transferred
Mr. Dodge who was appointed from MaSSa-
Chusetts has been IL the diplomatic service since
1899 when he appointed third secretary OF
the embassy at Berlin. In 1&Fl he was raised
20 the rank of second secretary. and In October
1902 he was made secretary. At Toxic he
appointed Third Assistant Secretary Of state
vice Herbert H. D. Peirce. promoted 10 the post
of Minister 10 Norway.
The newly elevated embassy at Toxic is re-
garded as Of special Importance because Of the
rapid growth in power of Japan and certain
readjustments Of the relations of this country
with the island kingdom. IL will be remembered
that Luke Wright formerly Governor General
Of the Philippine Islands was recently ap-
pointed Ambassador at Toxic because Of his
knowledge of Oriental affairs and customs

DATE OF CONVENTION.
Republicans May Choose October 2,
One Week after Democrats.

Several local Republican leaders were at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday afternoon looking for
Ex-Governor Odell. but disappointed. as he
did not come 10 the city. He is expected early in
the week, after which visit he will probably issue
the call for the state committee
There is much speculation as 70 the date for
the convention Under ordinary conditions Sep
tember . would be selected. The objection this
date however. is that the Democratic state con-
vention has chosen it. On the other hand. there
are TWO objections a later date. II later date
is chosen October will be selected, because of an
unwritten rule that the convention be started on
Tuesday. The first objection is that the hotels in
Saratoga, where the Republican convention is TO
be held. usually close not later than October |.
The other objection is that a convention that
late day would shorten the campaign to not much
five weeks.
II the hotelkeepers can be persuaded 10 keep
open unxil after October 3 the choice of that date
will depend the development of the situation
in the Democratic and Independence camps If
the Hearst convention should adjourn without max
ing a nomination, and il the Democratic candidate
should appear 10 be uncertain, it might be thought
wise hold the Republican convention after the
Democratic meeting.
