WASHINGTON, Aug. 27—It is indicated that Washington is not likely
to receive Dr Von Haimhausen, whom Berlin reports say has been appointed
German ambassador to the United States.
Government officials in discussing the reported appointment today
said the administration is not likely to receive either von Haimhausen or
any one else who was formerly connected with Count von BernstorfTs-embassy.
Nearly every one who was connected with Bernstorff is regarded as
having been more or less involved in the reprehensible plots and intrigues

the war. The officials say the administration can baldly be expected to
countenance in an official capacity anyone who might be even remotely
suspicioned of having been connected with the reprehensible plots resulting
in Bernstorff being told to leave the country.
