It is reported that at a dinner with President Roosevelt, Ambassador to Italy George von Lengerke Meyer was told that his resignation is expected, in order for former New York City mayor Seth Low to take up the post. Meyer was made ambassador by William McKinley in 1900, with the understanding that he would resign after a year. Meyer has not resigned, much to the consternation of Secretary of State John Hay.
