Americans in Mexico.

These estimates are approximate.
There is no way of getting absolutely
definite iI,forma ton. The latest reports
Indicate that there are only 2.VoU
Americans in Mexico City, where there
we're about 10.000 before the lombard
ment Of last February. In Chihuahua,
where there were several hundred
Americans, not more than 900 now re-
main, and one-third of these are get
ting out this week. It is estimated
that in the province Of Sonora, which
is comparatively quiet, fewer than 4U)
Americans rem ain. In the State of
SAN Luis PotosF there were from 900
10 ]. 900 Americans before the troubles.
There are now prpbably not more than
100. Three hund5rd Americans at the
plant of the American Smelling and
Refining Company. at Torreon, are now
preparing 10 get out.
In the northern part of the State IT
Tamaulpas there are not more than
100 to $50 Americans, where there were
once five or six times that number. III
the southern part of the state practi-
cally all the Americans have left ex-
cept those at Tampico, where there arc
about 500. Many OF thSe are simply
waiting for chance TO get away. IT
is not believed that these are more
than fifty Americans in the whole State
of Durango, which is one Of the trouble
zones.
Secretary Bryan remained at the
State Department all night last night
waiting for word from Mexico City.
He did not leave the White House uL-
Ill nearly midnight, and, finding some
work to do in the State Depa -tmeHt,
he decided to stay there. There were
no sleeping facilities in the depat tment
and Mr.. Bryan utilized a lounge.

TO oppose any such Endorsement. They
decided that as McAneny and Prender-
CAST were in a position 10 campaign
against Gaynor on his shifting attitude
on subways. 1t would be foolhardy for
, them to tie themselves TO GaynOr.
They also decided that District Attor-
ney Whitman ought not TO run on a
Gavnor ticket, as he was arrayed
against the Mayor on the police issue.
President McAneny said he would
not decide whether he would accept d
Gaynor nomination until the question
came before him. He said he would
answer Hearsts attack upon him in his
own way.
Chairman Mccall OF the Public Ser
vice Commission yesterday said there
was not the slightest justification for
the statement of Mr.. Mitchell that he
CNfcCalD had shown disposition TO
abrogate the terms Of the subway con-
tract. Mr.. Mitchell replied that he did
not want - get into a controversy with
