FOREIGN MINISTERS SUMMON
COMMERCIAL HEADS FOR
CONFERENCE.
O'SHAUGHNESSY STAYS
DICTATOR HUERTA's CONGRESS
ORGANIZES IGNORES
WASHINGTON.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Mexico City, Nov 1S.-The United
States will inaugurate blockade OF
Mexican ports.
This move of President Wilson to
force Huerta to terms became evident
when several ministers representing
foreign countries summoned the heads
of their more important commercial
houses and asked them for inventories
of shipments expected. This move
was made, it is said, on confidential
advices from Washington, it being de-
sired to have the commercial houses
in position better to guard their in
terests.
The German minister, Admiral Won
Hintez, was the first to call in COM
mercial men representing interests in
that country, to lay the matter before
them.
1t is said here, on authority, that
President Wilson would be content
with a blockade, and might even per-
init the embassy to remain in Mexico
City until an open rupture occurred.
Organization of President Huertas
new Congress was completed Monday
when enough senators were gathered
to form quorum in the upper house.
General Francisco Pronces was
chosen temporary chairman of the
Senate.
There is nothing to indicate that the
formal opening of Congress next
Thursday will be postponed.
President Huerta talked informally
to the members of his staff and few
personal friends regarding the possi-
bilities of Intervention by the United
States. He intimated that he would
be ready to resist such step.
Huerta resumed business at the ma
tional palace apparently with no
thought of any questions pending be-
tween his government and that of the
United States. He seems to regard
recent incidents growing out of
Washington's demand that he vacate
the presidency as closed.
Rebel Farley to End.
Nogales, Obstacles devel-
oped since the fall of Juarez have Gre
ated a feeling of ldiscouragement here
as to the outcome of the diplomatic
exchanges between the Mexican reb-
els and President Wilson's envoy,
William Bayard Hale. The parley be-
tween Hale and General Carranza and
the latter's representatives has
reached crucial stage. After a con-
ference with Hale, Foreign Minister
Escudero said he expected the nego-
tiations to end within twenty-four
hours but he would venture no pre-
diction as to the outcome.
Texas Ready to Fight.
Austin, Tex.-'In the event Mexi-
cans start any trouble we will protect

Colquitt after a conference with Ad-
1utant General Hutchings. While no
official statement was given out, it
became known that the Texas Ma
tional Guard is in readiness to an
