Mexico City. Mex, Sept 12.-EX-
pressing their belief that sundry and
kindred methods will be used by the
followers of Francisco !. Madero, If
the national election takes place on
The first of October, the Reeves con-
vention today decided to petition Con-
gress TO postpone the selection of a
successor to Gonrarl Diaz. As a pro-
test AGAINST an election which they
charge would be unfair thedelegates
agreed not to nominate vice-presi-
dent.
Since the convertionwas called In
the name OF Bernardo Reyes, II was
not considered necessary to place him
in formal nomination for the presi-
dency. his nomination being consid-
cred as already affected.
Tomorrow what Is expected to be
the last session Of the convention will
re held, when the committee instruct
ed to 1raught the petition to congress
viii make its report. The last for
nal act of the delegates should be
the adoption Of this report. That
there 's a possibility that congress
will acccd to the petition is conced-
ed event by Francisco !. Madero, who,
anticipating the action of The Reyesta,
today sent for presentation to con-
gres a note bitterly opposing such ac-
lion. 1t is to be expected that the
Maderlstas, confidant of their pres
ent strength. will fight to the last
ditch any postponment of the election.
on the other hand, 1t must be remem-
bered that large part Of the con-
gress is composed OF men representing
the old regime. who, If they vote In
accordance with their personal de-
sire, Will doubtless favor the petition.
In his note to congress, Madero hints
that such action may be followed by
serious consequences for which. he
declares, he will not be responsible.
Popularity, the action of the Reyes
convention today is regarded as the
playing of one Of its trump cards, II
congress decides to postpone the cleo
tion. Reyes chances for ultimate sue
ces are MANIFOLD. If Madero's argu-
ment wins and the election Is held In
the way fixed many supporters Of the
general admit that he has absolutely
no chance for election.
