CALL ON HUERTA TO PAY
Mexican Railways Directors
Put Interest Up to Him.

The result of a secret meeting Of the
New York directors of the National
Railways OF Mexico, in this city yes
tcrday. was that the payment OF $500
600 interest, due December I, on the
roads notes issued last June has been
squarely put up to the Huerta govern
ment. The Mexican directors have been
notified Of the local boards decision,
and an answer is expected some time
to-day.
What action the bankers here may
take to prevent receivership, in the
event that the Mexican government fails
TO provide the maturing interest, could
not be learned Despite the fact that
the interest on the June notes falls due
on Monday. with no plans apparently
made TO pay 1t. the belief still persists
that the situation will be met in some
way.
The notes sold last June by the Ma
tional Railways of Mexico totalled SEQ
100000. to run for two years. The New
York bankers who took them were
Kuhn. Loeb & Co, Speyer & 20. and
Ladonburg, Thai Imam & Co. The pro-
ceeds were used to pay off $4,000. 600
notes that matured June 2. 1919. and
slS,oo0,oOO notes that matrred Novem-
Der Is.
Should the interest payable on Mon
day be met, another payment of $1,000
GOO on prior lien bonds will fall due on
January J.
Mexico City. Nov. 2S.-President Huerta
summoned the managers of the Bank OF
London and Mexico and the National
Bank before him this afternoon and ex-
planned TO them the necessity OF their
financial assistance 20 meet the obligation
of the National Railways on December l.
Interest payments OF the railways due
December J aggregate sol 600 pesos gold.
II was TO raise this amount and the in
terest payments maturing January that
r. n. Brown. president of the National
Railways recently went TO New York.
The gross earnings of the railways since
December. 1912, show a decrease of prac-
tically 100000 pesos gold. Losses on fixed
charges and on property, track and equip
ment aggregate many millions additional.
Failure to meet the payments in De-

The speech OF Viscount Haldane in
London yesterday. I'm which he sup
ported President Wilson's Mexican pol
icy was read with satisfaction In OFF,
cial circles. His utterances as well as
those OF Premier Asquith few weeks
ago, are taken TO mean that henceforth
the administration has nothing to fear
from Great Britain regarding Mexico.
This is intensely gratifying to the adj
ministration, which has not been alto
gether satisfied, TO put it mildly, with
the policy of the British Foreign Office.
and particularly the activity of certain
British agents
Much has been done during the last
fortnight toward reaching perfect
understanding with Great Britain.
This has largely been accomplished
through numerous conferences between
Sir William Tyrrel. private secretary
to the British Foreign Minister, and
the Secretary Of State and between Sir
William and the President. Sir Will
