Minister Gamboa's Denial.

MEXICO CITY, September 6.-Foreign
Minister Gamboa denies knowledge OF the
mission to Washington of Manuel de Zam-
acona. but there is ground for the belief
that Senior de Zamacona is to represent
President Huerta In some capacity In the
American capital. Senior de Zamacona
visited the foreign office for hours at a
time for several days prior to leaving
the capital. Senior GAMBIA declares
that there can be no foundation for the
report that de Zamacona would repre-
sent President Huerta and expresses ig-
norance of the fact that he has left for
the United States.
Senior Gamboa rfdiculed the idea that
Nelson Shaughnessy, the American
charge d'affaires. had been given oral
assurances that Gen. Huerta would not
be a candidate for the presidency. He
declared such an assurance might be
good for day or a year, but at best 1t
would be informal and not binding
