WASHINGTON'S COURSE
REMAINS A PROBLEM
Mexican Elections Fail So Far
to Indicate What the
u. S. Should Do.
fFrom The Tribune Bureaul

Washington Oct. 26.-The administra-
ION waited all day to-day for develop
nents in Mexico, but none came. There
vas a dispatch from Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy. American Charge d'Affaires in
Mexico City. and from John Lind, Presi-
dent Wilson's personal representative
now in Vera Cruz.
Mr.. O'shaughnessy's telegram was filed
last night. 1t said that the capital was
quiet and that troops were patrolling the
streets Mr.. Linds telegram arrived this
afternoon. He said that the polls had
opened this morning, and that quiet pre-"
vailed. Advices from other quarterc in
dicated that not many persons voted.
There is no indication to-nigh. as to
when President Wilson may issue his ex-
pected statement on the Mexican situa-
ton. There seems 10 be much uncertainty
about it, and some say that he may not
issue any statement at all There seems
TO be no likelihood of action in this re-
gard before the return of the President
from Mobile on Tuesday night. The
President is being kept in touch with all
Mexican news by telegraph.
The Secretary of State returned this
morning from the Eastern Shore of Mary
land where he delivered two political
speeches yesterday. and was at the State
Department during the day.
While there are some officials OF the ad-
ministration who say that they believe
Huerta is celebrating an effort to make
the elections a fizZle, in order to continue
his dictatorship, they present no facts To
bolster up this assumption. Other officials
do not believe that Huerta will have the
face to hold his Office in this manner
after having voluntarily pledged himself
before the world not to become perma'
nent President.
II the elections of to-day passed a:
quietly as reported, with no outbreak
which necessitates action by the United
States. the future course of the admins
tration will at once become the para
mount question and 1t is believed thai
the administration will be compelled &c
adopt some definite plan. To observer!
in Washington it appears to be a most
\ difficult matter TO decide what to do.

ASQUITH'S CRITICS SEVERE
Ulster Newspapers Denounce
His Latest Proposal.

London. Oct. 1.-THE comments or
the Unionist press on Premier Asquith's
speech at Ladybank on Saturday, an
nouncing the decision OF the government
on the Irish problem, give the impression
that there is no chance OF arriving at n
compromise. The Ulster papers denounce
the speech in the strongest terms as clos
ing the door to any settlement by con-
sent The Nationalist papers persist in
the view that the exclusion of Ulster from
the Home Rule bill cannot be counte-
nanced.
The English papers, admitting that the
speech might be interpreted as an offer
to consider temporarily the separate
treatment OF Ulster. express the opinion
that 1t Is impossible under the conditions
imposed. and that further calculation
would be required from the government
before negotiations could be entered into.

DIAZ, DEFYING HUERTA,
RESIGNS AS GENERAL
Refuses to Go to Mexico City
and Sewers Last Tie with
the Dictator.

Vera Cruz. oct 26.-The last shred
binding General Felix Diaz and General
Victoriano Huerta was severed to-day,
when General Diaz telegraphed to the De-
partment Of War his resignation. as brig
adler general of the army.
The announcement was made late to-
night that the resignation Of General
Felix Diax as Brigadier-General was de-
manded by the War Department
Negotiations regarding Diazs return to
the capital OH the invitation Of the pro-
visional President ended by his fiat re-
fusal to accompany General Vidaur-
razaga, secretary 10 General Banquet,
giving as his reason the Illness OF his
wife. Colonel VidaurraZaga continued his
efforts to induce General DiaZ TO change
his decision. but finally left for the cap-
tai on special train tonight. Diaz and
his family remained here.
The few partisans Of Diaz who have
stood guard in his rooms at the hotel
for the last four days also left for their
homes in Mexico City. but a handful OF
supporters are still here, subject TO the
orders OF their political chief. The build
ing is being closely watched by plain
clothes men and police from points or
vantage in the streets and on roofs.
General Diaz said tonight that he real
lied he had no chance for election to the
Presidency. His plans for the future are
not yet made, but he expects to estab-
lsh a temporary residence in Vera Cruz.
Anticipating reports that might be cir
culated that he spent Sunday in the
American Consulate. and therefore was
not on Mexican soil on Election Day, Gen
eral Daz signed before a notary this
evening statement that he had not left
his hotel during the day.
Only casual interest in the election was
shown by Diaz, who accepted his defeat
as matter of course. The only incident
personally touching him was the arrest
OF his brother-in-law. Leandre Alcolea,
for alleged interference at one Of the
polls. Senior Alcolea protested against
what he considered Irregularities and a
policeman Joined him in the discussion.
An hour later the policeman had been
made a soldier and Alcolea was in Jail.
Twenty soldiers who came from Mexico
City as a guard for General Diaz. and
the officer In command of the detachment
were also ordered to quarters under ar
rest

GEORGETOWN TO SEND
TEAM TO RICHMOND

Manager Darr of the Georgetown track
team made an official announcement yes
terday that Georgetown would be repre-
sented in the Richmond meet, to be held
at Richmond Saturday evening, February
o. For some time the local manage
ment has had this matter under consid-
Grafton, as there seemed to be slight
hitch in the arrangements made by the
Richmond authorities in bringing the
Georgetown track team to Richmond.
This hitch was settled yesterday. when
Manager Darr received notification that
the authorities at Richmond were very
anxious to have Georgetown represented
in the big annual meet and that every
thing would be done by head of athletics
at Richmond to see to it that George
town would be on hand.
1t is the intention of Coach Jimmie
Mulligan of the Blue and Gray team to
take to Richmond every man who has
proved himself capable. Every man will
in this big meet be given a last oppor-
tunity to show the best that he has in
him before the big Georgetown meet
March !.
The relay team has not as yet been
matched with any team. but it is more
than likely that the team will be pitted
against Richmond College, a fast relay
team. Last year the Georgetown relay
team lost to Richmond College decisively.
1t is the plan of the local athletes to
come back this year and win from Rich
mond.
The showing made by the men who
are to be used on the relay team against
Richmond College will surely determine
exactly who will run in the relay against
Virginia.
Manager Darr also stated that his team
will be entered in the Johns Hopkins meet
a week previous to the Richmond meet.
Every man on the squad will be taken
to Baltimore. This is what Manager
Kingsley did last season. and it seems
that it is the plan of Manager Darr to
do the same thing this year.
The local track team will have to show
a great deal of class to win the johns
Hopkins meet as some Of the best ath-
letes in the south will be seen in action
at Baltimore. Capt. Eller will have the
famous Jim Thorpe as an opponent IN
the hurdles, as it is understood that
Thorpe has decided to enter the Hop
kins meet.

ed attention this season, for he sold his
cafe and bowling alleys yesterday to
August Wagener who will conduct the
Diamond along the same lines as it has
been run for years.
But Robbie does not mean to leave Bal
iimore; at least. he says at this time that
he loves the city too much to bid it fare
well. He intends to go into the hotel
business here, perhaps in the near future.
but nothing will be done until after the
playing season of 1913, for the old back
stop will leave here February ID for
Marlin Tex, to coach the young pitchers
of the New York Giants.
The call of the diamond always has
been too fascinating for Robbie to turn
a deaf ear, and, while his playing days
are over, his ability to impart base bal
knowledge, especially to young pitchers,
has made him so valuable that McGraw
wants him with the Giants throughout
every playing season. Nor is McGraw
the only man who gives Robbie credlt
for the good showing of the Giants during
the last two years, for every player mas
d
surely is a handy man on the bench, on
the coaching lines and in the warming
up space.
During the worlds series last October
it was reported that Robbie would move
bag and baggage to New York, inasmuch
as he has become very popular in that
city, but Robbie Immediately entered a
vigorous denial, saying that Baltimore
had been his home too long for him to cut
away from his friends.
