President Roosevelt will tell Secretary of State Elihu Root that “somehow or other” he will have to find a place in the foreign service for George M. Hotschick. Gebhard Willrich has already been commissioned and cannot properly be removed to install Hotschick in his place as Senator Spooner wishes. Roosevelt will examine Spooner’s recommendations about his message when he returns from his southern trip.
