NEW YORK. Aug. ls.--~Mrs. Mary
Copley Thaw, Harry Thaw's mother,
said today that she would start back
to her country home In Cresson. Pa,
at a:2S o'clock tomorrow morning.
Judging from the note she got from
her son today. In which he said: Shall
take a rest before coming to Elm
hurst he intends to Join her there
presently But of his plans Mrs. Thaw
says she knows nothing.
Mrs. Thaw was so happy today she
could not contain herself. To all her
callers at the hotel Gotham she
showed Harrys letter and OF his es-
cape. she said: 1T was neat Job"
Her chuckling comment on the state
ment of Or. Austin Flint. that Har>
ry Thaw was likely TO murder some
body while at large, was: "Dr. Flint's
speech Is very entertaining. II ought
to be canned in phonograph."
Mrs. Thaw insisted that she had
no prior knowledge of the plan to es-
cape from Matteawan.
Glad Visit Not Necessary.
81 was going to visi, Harry today"
she said. That is why ! am here.
Now / shant have to make the trip,
I'm glad. for how hot II is"
She said II Harry said he was 60
ing TO Elmhurst he was; for her
part she was in favor of his doing
what he pleased.
DO you think" a visitor asked.
that he will go to Pennsylvania
soon?''
How do / know" laughed Mrs.
Thaw. II am not a mind reader"
Il have been informed" she went
on. that Harry cannot be touched In
another State. unless the authorities
of that State try to do something.
But in order TO relieve my mind OF
doubt ! shall talk with lawyers I GER
tainly do not want Harry to jeopar-
die himself by going to Elmhurst.
l want him to be happy there"
Cost OF Case Exaggerated.
Mrs. Thaw volunteered the infor-
nation that the total cost OF the two
Thaw trials and of the attempts to
have him freed from Matteawan by
court order. had been greatly exagger-
ated.
why" she said, "that last fight
of ours that failed---the one before
Justice Keogh, at White Plains---cost
only $4,000. ! see that some OF the
guessers say the total outlay has been
something like $1,20o,00 Some Of
those naughts are naughts--too many
ciphers.'
Decides tn Use Front Door.
Mrs Thaw took counsel with her
ffntervfewerS as to the advtsabilfty OF
leaving the hotel by the back way
when she leaves tomorrow morning.
They told her that might make Il APP
pear that she was up to something
mysterious. She said she guessed so.
too. and that she would depart by
the front door. 1t is expected that her
son in-law and her daughter, Mr.. ana
Mrs. George Carnegie, will stay here q
few days before joining Mrs. Thaw in
Cresson. Pa
Mrs. Thaw and Miss Copley. who
came with her from Cresson. left the
hotel at $3.50 tonight, for the first
time and called on DR.. valdemar Sillo.
at 363 West Fifty-seventh street. DR..
Sillo said that the meeting -Mas-aF-
ranged week ago after Mrs. Thaw
wrote from Pennsylvania that she
would be In New York today on her
way to Matteawan to visit her SON.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 18-Prestdent
Huerta today turned down fatty the
plan which President Wilson had
evolved for the peaceful settlement Of
Mexican difficulties. In his answer to
the American note. which was Tor
warded to Washington this afternoon
Huerta declared that, he will not con-
slider mediation of Mexican affairs By
any foreign power.
This leaves President Wilson a. TAR
as ever from the goal toward which
he had been striving. and throws him
back upon his resources to create some
new policy for bringing peace to
Mexico. and protection to American
interests there as an alternative TO
armed Intervention by the United
States.
Has long Conference.
The president considered the Mex
lean reply at long conference with
Secretary Bryan and Counsellor John
Bassett Moore this afternoon. 1t can
be said definitely that he is not con-
sidering armed intervention as the
next step by this government.
There are good reasons for believ~
ing tonight that the president will
make an effort to procure the with
drawal Of the Huerta- refusal before
giving up the mediation idea entirely.
Failing in this he may fall back On
two courses. according to those Who
have followed his lines Of thought
closely throughout the Mexican CrisiG.

MS ULTIMATUM

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1s.-Otficiai
Washington was alarmed shortly be-
fore midnight by the receipt or news
from Mexico City through unofficial
channels that President Huerta had
served notice that he would give the
United States until midnight to recog-
nize the Huerta government Such
action would amount 10 an uitimatum
resulting in the severing of diplomatic
relations.
At the White House II was an
nounced that no such message had
been conveyed to this government so
far as President Wilson was In
formed To make certain, however
White House officials aroused Score
tary of State Bryan from his bed, and
Mr. Bryan got into communication
with the night operator at the state
department.
Bryan Has Heard Nothing.
Secretary Bryan assured the White
House that no ultimatum of that
character had come in the official dis
patches from the American embassy
i'm Mexico City Two or three dis
patches had been received in the
course of the evening. but none OF
them contained any suggestion OF
such a defiant course, on the part or
Huerta.
The news fnat reached Wasfi1s-
ton from Mexico City, however. came
very definitely, and said announce
merit had been made THAT ffuerta Ttasd
given the United States until midnight
to extend recognition to his govern
ment.
Acted Impulsively.
II such a step has been taken, off,
Gals here were inclined to the belief
that Huerta had acted impulsively and
possibly without giving time even for
the transmission of message to this
government. In refusing to recognize
the American diplomatic officers in
Mexico Ctty Huerta would force the
situation to a crisis.
There have been threats before this
of such a course by the Mexican presi-
dent. The United States government
has. of course. refused to recognize
Huertas representatives in Washing
ton. and Huerta's followers contended
that similar treatment for American
representatives In Mexico City would
merely be putting our diplomatic reia-
tions on equal terms.
