Department Denies There Is
Personal Objection to
Minister.
COMES TO CONFER
WIFI SECRETARY
New Representative 10 Chinese
Court Will Talk Over
Matters.

That Charles r. Crane. the new
United States minister to China, has
been recalled 10 Washington on the eve
or his departure from San Francisco tc
his post because Of diplomatic matters
and not because OF any personal objec-
tons TO his serving, Is the emphatic
opinion in State Department circles to-
day.
Mr.. Crane is expected to arrive in this
city Saturday next or Sunday morning
and TO have conference Sunday with
Secretary of State Knox who will come
to Washington from his home in Valley
Forge, Pa, for that purpose.
Except for the denial that there Is
any idea OF separating Crane from a
post he has not yet begun TO fll, Of
fcials OF the State Department are
rather reticent in regard to the matter
1t Is pointed out. however. II there were
any intention to prevent Mr.. Crane
from filing the place because OF his
public utterances in regard to China
and the United States. he would have
been given a chance to see President
Taft IN San Francisco aud present to
him the Justification OF any speeches
to which there might. have been OBJ
jections.
Further. it is explained. Mr. Knox
would hardly take the trouble TO come
70 Washington for the purpose OF tell
ing Mr.. Crane he can not serve as
minister The natural and ofe al In
ference Is that the cons "a Is for
an els ate explanation r. secre-
tary this oountrys new policy to-
wara he Ce,,stial Empire.
Few pro1ecss are dearer to the Presi-
dents heart than that OF making the
Chinese fast friends OF the United
States. With this end IN view Secretary
Of state kEox had many important con-
ferences with Mr.. Taft at Beverly last
summer. and Mr.. Crane was also called
in TO be acquainted with the major de-
tails OF what was intended Now, u is
thought. further matters OF this sort
have been worked out by Mr., Knox, and
they are OF such detail and such i'm
portance that he preferred to talk over
the situation with Mr.. Crane personally.
II s common gossip among State De-
partment officials that the President
and Mr. Knox believe they have deter
friendship or the Chinese government
and people IN a greater measure than
mas heretofore been the case. Mr..
Crane was selected for the post, which
the President described as the greatest
foreign post within my Eift.' only after
all available men for it had been con-
sidered.
Reports have been published that
Crane may not serve because or official
displeasure as a result OF his talking
more candidly and bluntly about the
China-America situation than is the rule
among diplomats, but state Department
officials take no stock I'm the statement
