Mexico City, Oct 30.-In the event
that the Huerta-Blanquet ticket is
shown to have polled majority suf-
ficient to be declared elected, as
seems probable Tuesday, congress will
declare the Huerta votes void and
Banquet will take the oath as vice
president and assume Office as pres
ident, pending the calling of further
elections.
This statement was made by the
Mexican foreign minister.
The clause in the constitution pro-
hibiting the president from succeed
ing himself does not apply to the vice
president, Senior Moheno explained,
and Banquet would be eligible for
election.
Washington, Oct 30.-Great Britain
Germany and France have agreed to
adopt no new policy toward Mexico
until the United States submits for
consideration a definite plan for
the future treatment Of Mexico.
1t is believed President Wilson and
his advisers are proceeding on the
theory that some concerted effort
must be made by all the governments
interested in Mexico to rid that ma
ton of the domination of Hureta.
With Great Britain, Germany and
France joining the United States IN
a demand for Huerta's resignation and
to conduct a free and fair election, it
has been asserted confidently by high
officials that Huerta would yield and
that a new government could be es-
taDlished without intervention.
This would necessitate cessation
of all hostilities and cooperation on
the part of Mexican revolutionists.
An evidence of the sincerity of
France in the proposed cooperative
Mexican policy came in a request by
that government that the United
States send a warship to protect its
nationals in San Ignacio, Sinaloa, on
the Pacific coast. The state depart
ment received the request late, but at
once prepared to accede to 1T.
That a request of the powers to
await a proposal from this govern
made, and that three great European
nations had yielded to the request,
was announced by Secretary Bryan.
who, however, did not indicate what
would be the nature of the contem-
plated negotiations.
President Wilson arrived from the
south and planned to confer with Mr..
Bryan.
The flight of Gen. Felix Diaz from
Vera Cruz to refuge on an American
warship was much discussed. Rear
Admiral Fletcher was notified by Sec
rotary Bryan that political refugees
could be shielded only temporarily.
The state department first instruct
ed him to inquire of the Mexican refu-
gees where they wished to go. Later
the department notified the admiral
that within a reasonable time they
must be transferred from the Ameri-
can war vessel. They may be placed
aboard a commercial liner bound for
Havana or New York, as they choose.
Vera Cruz, Oct 30.-John Lind, rep
resentative of President Wilson, who
received the order from Washington
to afford protection to Gen. Felix Diaz,
notified the state department that
everything possible had been done.
He was convinced that Diaz and the
other refugees were in imminent
peril.
General Diaz was transferred from
the gunboat Wheeling to the battle
ship Louisiana, Rear Admiral Fetch
er's flag ship, and allotted quarters in
the ward room.
