AOKI CALLED HOUE, KAHEKO XIAY COHE Japanese Ambassador Receives Cable Summons Toklo Talks of Resignation. COOLNESS IN WASHINGTON BUt Department Irritated Baron Chlnda, a Pro-American, Alao Mentioned for tha Poet, Sfitciat It TU Ntw Yorh WASHINGTON. Dec 8. Viscount Aoki, tho Japanese Ambassador, has been summoned to Toklo by cable for th purpose It waa announced at th embassy this aft-ernoon. ot making a fun report to hi Government on the result of his work In this country.

It waa explained thai such report as he has been able to inake by letter and telegram hav been perforce not so fun a he 'will be ahl to make bv word of mouth. It waa denied that there I anything- In th recall to indicate that It will permanent although tn other Quarters there a no expectation that ha will return. It waa stated explicitly at th embassy that Ambassador AoU was not going him because of any strain. In th relation be tween' tha two countries, which, it was declared, were aa cordial and harmunlou aa ever. Tha principal matters upon which Vis count Aokl will report to his Government ar the Immigration of Japanese Into this country, with tha attitude of labor or ganisations here toward it and th diffi culty which tha Japanese hav experienced in handling the question affecting their interests which arose ln Individual State.

More than any other country' the Japanese hav found it bard to get along satisfactorily with the United Statta be cause' of th rights of the States. The American dual form of Government la an anomaly to them. Viscount Aokl ha de voted a great deal of time to th atudy of these two problem, and Is prepared to give the Japanese Government a new un derstanding not only of th labor situa tion and anti-Japanese feeling here but auo oi th workings of tha Government The Japanese explanation of Ambassa dor Aokfs recall la of course accepted officially, and neither the Whit House nor th State Department baa anything to say about It The feeling in Administration circles, however. Is that the Jap- Government has realised that Vtsoouat Aokl baa reached the limit of Ms usefulness aa Ambassador her, From the time be first brought the San Fran cisco school Incident, to the attention of th SUte Department it has been under stood that his personal methods were not such aa to increase his success in dealing witn this Government At taer-Um tbas- therw were constant assurances from Toklo a well as from Official source her that tha relation of tho two countries war on the best foot Ing. that "there waa a thorough under standing between the two Governments, and that they were ln complete accord.

there were Just a constant indications of frictions tn th dealings of Ambassador Aokl with th Stat Department The belief in Administration circles la that the Japanese Government having been Informed of this friction; has come to the conclusion that It would not be removed while Viscount Aoki remained as Anv bassador hrc and has therefore sum moned him to Toklo for what will amount to his recall. In the Interval between the departure of viscount Aon ana tne coming of new Ambassador Tsunejlra Mlyaoks, eoun selor of the embassy, win act a Chan ALARMIST REPORT IN LONDON. News Agency Indicated Rapture of Relations Public Reassured Later. Special Cable to TsaNtw Toax TXXB. LONDON, Dec 8.

Some little excite ment was caused her this afternoon by newspaper placards announcing the Japanese Ambassador at Washing. ton had been recalled. Th misappre hension waa due to an agency dispatch from Washington which suggested rupture of diplomatic relatione Later dispatches put a less alarmist construc tion on Ambassador Aokl' a departure At tha Japanese Embassy tha First Secretary la In charge In th absence of Baron Kornura. He said that tha embassy bad no official news, and In hi official capacity be could aay noth ing. It had "been considered likely aver alnc th Japanese) Consul General at Ban Francisco was called to Toklo to furnish Information on the Immigration Question, that th Mlkado'a Government might 'requlr further data, and for that purpose auinroon Viscount Aoki for a conference In other Quarters there Is a disposition to regard Viscount Aoki'a departure as at th least an unfortunate incident, and taken in conjunction with th omission from President Roosevelt's measag of any reference to the Japev nee Immigration Question, the outlook la not considered reassuring.

If difference between nations oould be settled by silence the President's reticence would be welcome" Is one Kniflcant comment KANEKO MAY SUCCEED AOKI. Baron Chlnda, Who Is Friendly with Americans, Also Mentioned. TOKIO. Dee S. Th probable resignation of Viscount Aokl.

It la admit ted, however, that Ambassador Aokl may return to Japan at an early date. The Foreign Office decline to aay If tbia tneaaa the resrgnatioa of the Ambassador. In th event that ambassador Aokl decide sot to return to Washington, there I a strong probability that wQI be succeeded by Baron Kaneko. former special envoy to th United Statec or Baron Chlnda.
