awaiting advices to supplement those
Of late yesterday which suggested very
strongly that Mexicos provisional

lack Of agreement on . man to succeed
him.

group who acted with Huerta in the
downfall Of Madero. was mentionsl -
successor. but not approved AsUe.
that Banquet was ineligible becanss ho
was born in Spain and the Mexican
constitution demands q native born.
Whether Banquet could relieve the
situation with tho United States also
was a question discussed.
Reports OF HuertA intended retire.

Felix Dtaz. and the attitude Of foreign
governments which hxvo already rec
ognized Huerta and some OF which are
