Mexico City. Sept. 15.-No postpone
ment Of the Presidential election will be
authorized by the Cramber Of Deputies
when IL meets tomorrow. A careful
canvass OF the Deputies. which was
completed to-day. shows that a large
majority OF the total membership Of two
hundred and thirty is opposed to the
cabal organized by the Reyists and anti
Maderists for the purpose of delaying the
election, with the covert purpose OF i'm
pairing MaderO's chances OF becoming
President Pledges from more than one
/ hundred and fifty Deputies are in the
hands Of the leaders of the Progressive
Constitutional party, Of which Madero
and Suarez are the candidates register
ing opposition to the postponement
measure
There is no doubt that when the me
mortal to the Chamber drafted this week
BY the convention of the Reyist party
praying for delay in electing Presi-
dent. comes before the deputies, IL VIII
be tabled or a resolution adopted deny
ing the request, on the grounds OF ex
pediency and that the rights Of the voters
have been sufficiently protected in the
preliminary legal arrangements for the
election. Despite allegations 10 the con-
trary, IL will not be surprising II the
attempt is abandoned altogether. al
though the Reyist leaders insisted to-
/ day that the question would be fought
TO finish in the Chamber.
The Reyists and anti Maderists are

national Executive.

une correspondent this afternoon that
