SECRETARY DICKINSON WAS
WEARY OF HIS POSITION
BY The United Press

BY The United Press
WASHINGTON. May 13-The po-
iitical aspects of the appointment of
Henry l.. sHmson. Roosovolts man,
aud defeated candidate for Governor
Of New York. 10 succeed Jacob NJ.
Dickinson, as Secretary OF War, to-
day held first place in Washington
gossip.
That Dickinson must OF necessity
Withdraw TO make room for a Repub-
lican before 1912 has been the view
held here for many weeks.
The selection OF Stimson is re-
garded by some as a move toward
harmonizing the Roosevelt and "old
guard" factions in New York.
Senator Root is known 10 have had
a large part in the selection, and It
is considered probable that Roosevelt
was also consulted.
Dickinson Weary of II.
II has been known for some time
that Dickinson had grown weary OF
his post Those close TO the secre-
tary believed he regarded his duties
as a trust. but that he had viewed his
position without enthusiasm, since
the suppression Of his famous report
on the unpreparedness Of the nation.
Reports that his resignation was
due to the Mexican situation we're
generally dismissed as without basis
of fact. The burden of the Mexican
situation rested very lightly upon the
Secretary of War
The appointment Of S. G. Milling
ton. of Herkimer. n Y. to he As
sistant Treasurer Of the United States
al New York, also announced last
night Is interpreted as part of the har-
mony movement upon the part Of
Taft. Millington is a Barnes-Sher-
