Will Not Deny Report.

Washington, Nov. 3.-White
House officials tonight would neither
confirm nor deny the report that the
United States had communicated
anew to the Huerta government its
views concerning the necessity of
Huerta's retirement from the pro-
visional presidency. Secretary Bryan
was equally reticent.
The Associated Press dispatches
from Mexico City reporting the pre-
sentation of an ultimatum from this
government were read to Secretary
Bryan over the telephone late to-
night. He manifested much interest
but said he would make no official
comment.
All during the evening the secre-
tary had been expecting new develop
ments and prepared to stay up late to
receive dispatches. The night opera
tor I'm the telegraph room of the state
department, who usually leaves the
key at midnight, was ordered to
work through the night.
eNews OF the ultimatum had been
expected in official circles, though
unusual efforts had been made to
keep secret the plans Of the admins
tration.
Early in the evening an intimation
was conveyed to Secretary Bryan by
the press that some announcement
was expected in Mexico City. He ac-
quainted President Wilson with that
fact but the President had retired
when the news dispatches came and
was not awakened.
No intimation had been received
up to midnight by the state depart
nent a sto what the nature of Huer-
ta's reply might be and no news had
been received officially that a meeting
Cf the diplomatic corps had been call
ed tonight. These developments were

WATSON URGES FARMERS
TO CONSERVE CORN CROP
The Commissioner Predicts
High Prices.
CAUSED BY SHORTAGE.
Federal Estimate For South Caro-
line is Challenged-Condi
in Other Sections.

Ihe Following statement by Com
missioner Watson appeared in Sun
days Columbia State:
Predicting an unprecedented price
for corn next year and challenging
the federal census figures for the
South Carolina crop, Commissioner
Watson of South Carolina yesterday
issued a statement to the farmers of
the state urging that they conserve
this years corn crop.
The statement follows:
Though the federal governments
preliminary estimate of the corn crop
in South Carolina this year indicates
only about the same size crop as
that of last year there can be no
question that South Carolina has
raised during 1913 the largest and
best crop OF corn in her history and
in my opinion the estimate referred
to is almost farcical This saw
with an intimate knowledge gained
by personal observation of conditions
that have prevailed 1 every nook
and corner of thessta,e this year.
CARE OF PRODUCT.
Whether or not, however, we
have raised a bumper crop it is of
supreme Importance that the farmers
in South Carolina b. extremely care
full to take care OF all the corn that
they have raised this year; that they
carefully restrain from wasteful use.
and that they take the best of care of
the product.
"There is a big shortage in corn
throughout the United States. Euro
pean Russia, Spain, Italy, Hungary
proper, Japan, Bulgaria, Switzerland
and Tunis, and the preliminary esti-
mate of the worlds crop in Septem-
ber 25 calls for a total production of
only 2, 766, 100000 which is 22.4
per cent less than was raised in these
countries last year.
ut is manifest, therefore, that a
state like this which is still buving
corn from the West, no matter what
its quality, will be in a position this
year to realize excellent profits from
state interchange of corn
HIGH PRICES.
the largest houses inside the state
doing a large business in corn the
manager of the company says:
In our opinion corn will retail
from S1.25 to $3.50 per bushel the
coming summer, and we believe if
the matter of high prices could be
brought to bear on them, while we
have lot of forage and other diff
ferent feed stuffs, that they could
take care of the corn until the sum
mer months when corn is always
higher than any other time in the
year, and another thing that we
think would hold the price of corn
down is the planting OF a large oat
crop which would curtail the use of
corn
The statement made by the writer
of this letter I do not think is exag-
garated and 1T is for that reason that
l wish to urge every possessor of
corn in the state to conserve the
corn, devote his attention immedi-
ately to the planting of all grain and
forage crops that he possibly can, and
in that way get the full measure of
profit on the corn that he has raised
in the year 1913. This years corn
crop is remarkably free from mois-
ture and is in excellent condition to
be saved with the least possible trou-

GEN. HUERTA ORDERED
, TO REIGN PRESIDENCY
Mexican Executive Forced to
Give One of Two Answers.
HAS MADE NO REPLY YET.
Southern Republic No Longer Doubts
That Washington Government
Favors Rebel Cause.

Mexico City, Nov. 3.-President
Huerta has been told he must resign
the presidency of Mexico without loss
OF time and that he must not leave
as his successor Gen. Aureliano
Banquet, his minister of war, or any
other member of his official family or
OF the unofficial coterie whom he
might be expected to control. This
ultimatum from Washington was con-
veyed to President Huerta through
his private secretary, Senior Rabage
by Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the Ameri-
can charge d'affaires, acting under
instructions from the state depart-
ment.
Senior Rabago presented the memo
randum to his chief late Sunday, but
up to this evening President Huerta
had returned no answer and, as far
as could be learned, had guarded it's
contents from almost all of his official
and intimate councillors.
ONE OF TWO ANSWERS.
Those who learned of the Washing
ton note regard General Huerta's no
sitfon as one in which he will be
forced to give one of two answers
refusal point blank to comply with
the demand, possibly going so far as
to hand the diplomatic representa-
tive his passport, or the elimination
of himself officially. Those most in
innate with the President insist that
the latter course will not be taken
for many reasons, chief among which
is that such action would be tanta-
mount to submission to the rebels.
Omcial Mexico is no longer in doubt
that the Washington administration
faVors the rebel cause and is con-
vinced that this is the means adopted
by President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan to assist Carranza to win.
General Huerta summoned to the
national palace tonight the diplo-
matte corps, but for what purpose
was not revealed. Three of the min
listers, those of Germany, Norway and
Russia, were absent. They have been
