LEAVES COUNTRY, HE SAYS, TO PREVENT 6LooDsHED OVER
 RESULT OF ELECTION
Sails For Havana and Announces That He Will Later Go to New York-Changes the Poli-
 ticaI Situation.

Mexico City, Sept. 2S-General Bernardo Reyes, who for a hriet period was the formidable rival Of Francisco |. Madero for the presi- dency, this afternoon sailed from Vera Cruz on the Ward liner Mon terey for Havana. Just before the ship weighed anchor he told a news paper man that he would continue to New York, although his passage booked in the name of Genaro Reyes is to tine Cuban capitol.
 From the port city he sent a mes- sage to President De La Barra, say ing that he did not care to remain in the country and become a cause of embarrassment bhat complying with his duty as retired army of ficer,, he would in due time advise him as to his residence.
 To Jose Peon del Valle. the chair. man or the central committee of the Reyista party he sent the following message:
 T am leaving the republic to es- cape taunts and to avoid the pratt tie. The party. whose chief I am, must maintain it's attitude of insist ing upon guarantees to exercise it's rights that it now lacks in the know ledge that in duo time I shall re- turn to take place at it's head pro- tected always with the banner of law"
 Accompanying General Reyes Were David Reyes Retana, one of his most ardent supporters; Retana's wife and children, and Miguel QuiriSo another adherent of the general.
 That the former nominee for the presidency had decided to leave his country was made known in the cap- ital by telegrams arriving Tonight So carefully had he planned his de- parture that it appears somewhat like a flight. The trip to Vera Cruz was made in a private car last night and on account of the false entry of his name in the passenger list his true identity of Genara Reyes, was not discovered until late in the afternoon.
 His son Rodolfo Reyes denies that his going was any secret from him or other mepbers of his family and Peon del yalle declares he was fully aware of his chiefs intentions. The skeptical, however, regard it as odd that a message telling him why he was going should have been sent to him from Vera Cruz.
 The general was taking nap on board the vessel when he was found this afternoon by newspaper man Bnefly be explained why ihe was leaving.
 Do you expect to stop in Havana General?" he was asked.
 "No. l am going on to New York. Yes expect to return, but cannot say when"
 Further explanation of his depar- ture he would not give. except to show copies of the messages he had sent to the capital.
 In Vera Cruz the same desire for privacy was manifest in the move ments of General Reyes. Holding handkerchief before his face he went on board early and almost inn mediately went to his stateroom. The boat sailed before the people of the town awoke to the fact that she carried the man whom many of tue II few weeks ago wouldl have sup1 ported for president.
 Remembering that General Diaz sailed not many months ago on the Ispiranga, orators and writers of the anti-Reyista element nave frequently said in sarcasm that soon Genera Reyes would he a passenger on the same vessel, but even that class of people were surprised tonight to learn they were so prophetic in their utteranees.
 His departure has been variousiy commented on in the capitol. Many Maderistas are jubilant declaring that he ran away" that he ran away once before when they want cd him to lead q party against Gen. eral Diaz."
