close friends and political associates
OF zen. huerta appeared earnest as
late as midnight IA their assertions
that tney couiu not find him.
Skepticism as to Flight.
1t was suggested in some quarters that
the provisional president had run away.
This suggestion, however. was received
with shepticism.
1t is ASSUMED here by many of those
familiar with the situation that the log.-
cal course to be pursued by the United
States Will be TO recall Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy uniesS zen. Huerta frankly yields
AL the demands of Washington. Ii is
thought in ofnciai quarters that should
ihis occur II would oe followed soon by
some act on the part OF Washington
which would be tantamount to recognition
OF the beiligerency OF the rebels.
An early caller on Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy was the German minister to Mexico.
admiral Paul Won Hintze. who arrived
before Mr.. O'Shaughnessy had break
tasted.
