DELAY TO BE ASKED
IN HAMS HEARING

NEW YORK, March 6.-Attorneys
John F. Mcintyre and Joseph II. shay
today conferred on their plans for the
defense Of Capt. Peter C. Hams, who
last August shot william F. Annis at
the Bayside Yacht club.
It is probable that the defense will
be unable to secure a lunacy com
mission to investigate Capt Hams
sanity at the time of the shooting and
now. II may be that little effort will
be made to secure such a commission
and that the case will be allowed TO
go before a jury. The attorneys refus-
ed to divulge the results Of their talk,
however.
That longer delay will be asked
for Is almost certain.

CONTEST TO SUCCEED DIAZ
TWO CANDIDATES FOR VICE
PRESIDENT or MEXICO.
THE Winner Likely 10 Replace the Aged
Mexican President Eventually An
Anti.Amerlcan Issue In the Campaign
1T Is Corral Against Reyes Now,

hSN"N ~ NV
III Is Corral Against Reyes Now.
CITY OF MEXICO, June "a contest
which is regarded as equivalent to a cam
paign for the Presidency of Mexico is
now in progress between Ramon Corral,
the present Vice-President. and Gen.
Bernardo Reyes. Governor of the State
of Nuevo Leon. The election will not
be held until next year.
President Diaz, who has agreed to ac-
cept the Presidency for another fern of
six years, will be so on September Is.
1910. and it can hardly be expected that
he will live out his new term. 1t is for
this reason that much Importance ia at
tached TO the election of a Yice-presi-
dent.
The Vice Presidency of Mexico was
created by an amendment to the Con-
stitution six years ago and Ramon Corral
was the first man elected to the Office.
His election was a mere formality, as he
was selected for the place by President
Diaz. who is said. to have had him in
training with the view of making him his
successor.
Vics-President Corral was recently
renominated for the office on the ticket
with President Diaz. The nomination was
not unanimous, as some of the delegates
70 the convention insisted on voting for
Gen. Reyes and others wanted TO sup
port Jose Y. Limantour. present Ministe err
of Finance, for Vice-President. but Cor
rails adherents were in the majority and
their candidate was nominated.
The nomination Of Gen. Reyes for Vice
President has not been made in the usual
convention form. He has been put up
for the office by means of petitions signed
by his friends and admirers all over the
country. 1t was originally planned TO
make him a candidate for President. but
when Diaz reconsidered his intention of
not again being a candidate for the ohlce
it was decided that Reyes should run
against Corral for Vice-President.
The anti American iAsue promises to
figure in the campaign. Supporters of
Gen. Reyes nre already making the charge
that it was through Mr.. Corral that f.. H.
Hartman obtained from the Mexican
Government an unusually favorable con
cession for the railroad which he is build
ing down the Pacific Slope OF Mexico and
that Mr.. Hartman will draw from the
public treasury of Mexico as a subsidy
for building this road more than ten
million dollars. 1t is alleged that he
has other favors to ask of the Mexican
Government and that he is lending his
aid to bring about the election of Mr..
Corral to another term as Nice-President
and ultimately TO elevate him to the
Presidency.
Mr.. Corral as Vice-Presjdent performs
the duties OF Minister Of Interior and
deals with questions in which many
Americans. among them Mr.. Hartman.
are Interested, but his friends deny that
he has extended anv unusual ravors &c
