Zamacona to Represent Huerta

Notwithstanding the denial by For
eign Minister Gamboa OF Know lodge of
the mission to Washington of Manuel
De Zamacoma, there is ground for the
belief that Senior De -Zamacona Is to
represent President Huerta in some
capacity in the American capital. Sc
nor De Zamacona visited the foreign
office for hours at time for several
days prior to leaving the capital. Sencr
Gamboa declared today thre was no
foundation for the report that De Fam
acona would represent President Huerta
and expressed ignorance of the fact
that he had left for the United States.
Senior Gamboa ridiculed the idea that
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the. American
charge d'affaires, had been given verbal
assurances that General Huerta would
not be a candidate for the presidency.
He. declared that such an assurance
might be good for a day or year,
but at best it would be informal ard
not binding"
He added that he had received no
communication of any sort from John
Lind and that he had not been ad-
'vised as to the whereabouts or inten-
ti0ns of President Wilson'S personal
representative.

special train to Coaticool<, where nor

from the dominion.
There were cheers when the writ ar
rived and more cheers whenever Thaw
appeared at the window of the deten-

when the news got abroad that Tor
Thaw the new move meant 10 days
delay. Not only by the writ secured in
Montreal, but by the action of his at

block his deportation. In addition he
had the pleasurable knowledge that his

had been arrested, charged with gamb-

ARREST NOT PROMPTED
BY THAW'S LAWYERS

Jerome's arrest Was not prompted IN
any way by the Thaw lawyers. One and
all they expressed indignation at the
move and said they We're ready to aid
him. The arrest really signihed that the
state of public opinion here is decidedly
pro-Thaw and more decidedly anti
Jerome. Another factor is a split in the
town council over Chief OF Police John
Boulreau. Thaw's original captor and
subsequent petitioner for the writ Of

neys, for Harry X. Thaw today played
n trump card.

tice Cross, sitting in appeals in conjunc-
ton with Justice Gervais, demands that
the immigration authorities produce Thaw
in the local court September Is, when
his case will be taken under considera-
ton by the full Bench. Application for
right to appeal from the decision of Jus
tice Hutchinson in refusing to grant a
writ of prohibition to restrain the immi-
grafton officials from proceeding with it's
deliberations also was granted.
New Stage in Fight
Today's proceedings not only mark a
new stage in Thaw's fight but raise the
question for the constitutionality of the
| colonial immigration act Failing to Sc
cure what they desired at the hands of
the lower court, ]. n. Greenshields and
y. X. LaFlamme of Thaws counsel,
sought to have Justice Gervais hear them.
AS this justice was reluctant to act alone.
the presence of Justice Gross was secured
for a joint hearing. Meanwhile arrange
ments were made by the Thaw counsel
to secure speedy service of the writ If
granted high power automobile was
kept at the court room door and at the
station a special train was in readiness
to start for Coaticook, for even If the
writs were granted, 1t was not impossible

Thaw deported.
When court finally opened the proceed

Cross signed the writs and Immediately
the Thaw lawyers jumped into the walt
ing automobile and In few minutes were
being whirled away to Coaticook.
Attorneys Attack Immigration Act
Attorneys Greenshields and IAF7anme
in their argument attacked the constitu-
tionality of the colonial immigration act
as a contravention of the natural law
81 ianting every one the right of free loco
rotion; as abusive in character, as 1t
tended to take away the remedies under
common law; remedies secured under
magma charta, and because in the Thaw
case it had been abusively made use of
by the immigration officials In that they
had seen fit to sit on a board of inquiry
without any complaint having been lodged
with the minister of the interior as pre-
scribed
Thaw's attorneys claimed their client
had not been caught in the act of sneak
inr into Canada. Hence he could not be
elected In the carrying on of the inquiry
they declared the immigration officials
apparently had confounded the election
of new conner with deportation. In a
case of deportation. they submitted. it was
necessary that a complaint first be lodged
with the minister of the interior. who
would name a commission of inquiry
The attorneys also argued the unconstitu-
ticnality of the immigration act
In view of these alleged Irregularities
counsel submitted that 1t would be we'll

Would Float Loan

Senior De Zamaconas chief connection
with the Mexican government in the past
has been in financial matters, and his mis-
sion is said to contemplate not only the
furtherance of the negotiations looking
toward peace but the floating of a loan
that would be encouraged by the Amer
lean government He has managed Mex
icos financial affairs in Europe hereto
fore, and during his stay here as ann
ba ssador to the United States in 1911 be-
came widely known and popular with dip
lcmatic corps.
Sencr De Zamacona's departure from
Vera Cruz yesterday took Washington
officials somewhat by surprise, for while
the suggestion had been made to them
by the Huerta government that he might
be sent to Washington to conduct fur
tiler negotiations, the Huerta administra-
tion ordered him to proceed to the United
States without awaiting the answer or
the American government. This phase OF
the situation created feeling of optimism
here, for it was interpreted as meaning
that the Mexican government understood
that the tinted States considered the
elimination of Huerta from the presiden-
tial race as having been assured in Senior
Gamboa,s second note and was ready to
take up the suggestions of help in finan-
cial matters offered by Mr.. Lind
