 IN MEXICO.

 tonist Party.

Mexico City, Aug. 11.-Dr. fran- cisco vasquez Gomez today announc- ed his willingness to become candi- date for the presidency of the re- public. In talk with an Associated Press representative ne Eaid that should the antire- -electionists nomt nate him he could not see his way clear to refuse their offer.
 At the same time. however, he de- clared that his relations with Fran cisco 1 Madero were of the most cordial nature and added, with a smile, that ne was still the candidate for the vice presidency on the Ma dero ticket.
 Another surprise came today when 1t became known that the old light between church and state would De resumed in Mexico. Notwithstanding the separation effected by Benito .Ju- arez almost half century ago, the Catholic church, acting through the National Catholic Party" has for maIly issued a call for a convention to place in nomination a candidate for the presidency.
 That the ti-re-electionists Will place Dr. Vasquez in nomination ap- pears probable in view of their for maj break with Madero last night. Because of Madero's refusal to an pual the cong; itutional progressive party and which he caused to be created few weeks ago, the anti-re- electionists repudlated him and nam ed Dr. Vasquez as the head of their party,
 Telegrams were sent immediately 10 the 357 anti-re electionists clubs throughout the republic and tonight at their headquarters 1t was claimed that more than 300 had approved their action.
 Madero and Dr. vasquez and his brother. Emilion vasquez Gomez, we're tbe founders of the antl- re-electlonlst clubs. which placed Madero and Dr. Vasquez in nomination for the pres idency and vice presidency in Aprii 1, 1910. These organizations latei sustained the revolution and at it's conclusion, maintained that the ac tion of the convention in April should be accepted as final Madero a fev weeks ago announced that in his opinion the anti -re-electionists clubs had served their purpose inasmuch as the right of a president 10 re-elec- tion mad been denied by the state of the revNution. He named cen organizing a national party-the pro- gressive party-to take the place or the various clubs. On this commlt- tee were number of men who had not been closely identified with eith- CT the revolution or the cause of the anti-re electionists. Piqued by what they consider his high handed me- thods of dismissal, the anti-re-elec tionists demanded that he make the race for the presidency, under their banner or submit to their opposi- tion. The controversy has lasted for more than a week and culminated late last night after fervid orators had expressed opinions derogatory to their old leader and voted to hold a national convention on August 15 for the purpose of placing In nomination candidates for the presidency and vice presidency. Madero today appear ed unruffled by the desertion and m statement to newspaper men char acterized their action as "unimpor. tant.''
 The bolting of the ticket" by tho anti -re-eiectionists and tho announce ment by the leaders of the Catholic party that they would have ticket assures the entry of at least four can uidates for the presidency. A mont1 ago there was but one candidate m sight and the sporting element of the capitol was offering heavy odds thai Madero would be elected. With the announcement of General Reyes that he would run there was noted q aeavy fall in the MaGero stock and today since the split in his ranks and ID View of the activity shown by :he Catholic party there is displayed treat uneasiness among Madero's followers.
 The first convention called is that of the anti jre-electionists. 0u she
