STATUS OP HUGH R. WILSON WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 26. Americas Ambassador to Germany, Hugh R. Wilson, will be reassigned to the state department as an adviser for an indefinite time, acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles announced today. Welles statement was the first official admission that the peremptory summons which brought Wilson home from his Berlin post as an American protest to Nazi Germanys persecution of racial and religious minorities probably will keep him in Washington indefinitely. Ambassador Wilson went to Warm Springs, Ga., tonight to make a personal report on conditions in Germany to President Roosevelt. When he returns to Washington, Welles said, he will be assigned to the department for duty as an adviser on German affairs. Welles was careful to explain that Wilson will retain his capacity as ambassador to Germany and that no change in that direction is being made at present.
