GEORGE FRED WILLIAMS HAS NOT
YET HEARD or ANY INVITATION TO
RETIRE AS AMERICAN MINISTER
Reported at Philadelphia That His Resignation Has Been Re-
quested by Administration Because of
Albanian Utterances

net meeting Friday and afterward Mr..
Wilson decided their effect was such
that it would be improper for MIR. Will
liams to longer represent the United
States ii the Balkans.
1t has been understood that MIR. Will
liams of his own accord has forwarded
his resignation, but so far as could be
learned here it has not been received
by the President.
According to excellent authority the
request for his resignation went for
ward in a cable to Mr.. Williams Sat
urday.
The term of Mr. Williams as min
lister to Greece and Montenegro has
been brief. but has attracted much at
tention. few weeks ago President
Wilson, Secretary Bryan and other
officials We're amazed by a published
report that Mr. Williams had circu-
lated the Powers offering his services
as a mediator in the Albanian crisis.
State department officials then said
the minister had no authority to do
so, but had been given permission to
visit Epirus and make a report on
conditions.
The concern of administration Of
ficials was increased recently by pub
lication of a further attack on the
Albanian situation, the part of the Eu-
ropean powers and the rule of Prince
William, attributed to the minister.
Secretary Bryan called for report
on the incident and Mr.. Williams re-
piled he was sending one by mail.
While there is no confirmation here,
it is believed in official circles that the
minister's resignation is accompanying
that report.
So far as known the Powers have
made no representa- tons to Washing
ton over the minister's activities, but
officials would not have been surpris-
ed if they had.
Long Friend of Bryan
President Wilson personally called
the attention Of the state department
to the gravity of the situation and
pointed out that no ime should be lost
in letting the Powers know Mr.. Will
liams was acting without the ipstruc-
items. or approval of the. United States.
The call for his resignation followed.

ANXIOUS TO GET
Definite ACTION

Some definite action Is expected to
be taken ny Governor Pinkham within
the next "a hours concerning the re-
ported probable appointment OF Palm

apparently Northumberland rumor
became current this morning follow
ing a conference between. Governor
Pinkham and Mr.. Woods. that the
chief executive is preparing state
ment settling all reports on the proba-
bility or improbability of Mr.. Woods
being appointed to the land Office, -.
II Is said that during the conference
this morning Mr.. Woods urged the
governor to state definitely whether he
proposes TO appoint him the successor
OF Joshua D. Tucker. and il SO, when.
According to the rumor.. the chief ex-
ecutive informed Mr.. Woods that he
was preparing statement covering
the matter and that 1t might be ready
tomorrow. ....-s. r" 81. ...
Just what position the governor will
take in this statement is open to
speculation. for in the last few days
the rumors have been growing that
MIR. Tucker will be retained as land
commissioner and that the tentative
arrangement-wh which was that Mr..
Woods should be commissioner. and
Mr. Tucker his. special denuty--has
been definitely POSTPONED. Woods, has
nothing at all to say. - .e.s.. i =.
Some. of Woods fritads say that in
the event he does not receive the ap-
pcintment he win give. serious eonsid-
Grafton to. the proposal that he run
