WASHINGTON, March 27.—Colonel Henry L. Stimson will take the oath of office as Secretary of State tomorrow afternoon. The oath will be administered by Chief Justice Taft in the office of the Secretary of State.

Secretary Kellogg will be present at the ceremony and will leave the next day for New York to sail Friday night on the Ile de France for Europe. His vacation plans, he said, today, are incomplete, but he will visit England and France.
