MEETING IN MOSCOW

MR CORDELL HULL LKELV TO ATTEND CHANGE IN AMERICAN AMBASSADORSHIP ADMIRAL STANDLEY REPLACED (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) NEW YORK, September 26. There is a strong possibility that the Secretary of State, Mr Cordell Hull, will attend the forthcoming tripartite conference in Moscow, says the Washington correspondent of the New York “Herald-Tribune.” Mr Hull was originally reluctant to attempt the long plane trip, biff is believed to have changed his mind after conferring with the United States Ambassador to Moscow, Admiral Standley, and President Roosevelt. Many ticklish problems are likely to arise at the conference, requiring an American representative with Mr Hull’s prestige and position. It is confirmed that Admiral Standley, United States Ambasasdor to Moscow, is not returning there, states a Washington message. The New York “Herald-Tribune” states that it is authoritatively confirmed that Admiral Standley’s successor will be Mr Harriman.
