MEXICO CITY, NOV. I7.-The
organization Of President Huer-
ts,s new Congress was completed
late today, when enough Seua-
tors were gathered TO form a quo
rum in the upper house. General
Francisco Pronces was chosen
temporary chairman OF the SEN
ate, and a committee on creden-
tials was appointed. A similar
committee Of the Chamber Of
Deputies to-day began the work Of
revising the deputies credentials.
and there is nothing to indicate
that the formal opening OF Con-
Sress next Thursday will be post
poned.
President Huerta talked tonight
informally - the members OF his
staff and few personal friends
regarding the possibilities OF in
terVention by the United States.
He intimated that he would be
ready TO resist such a step. The
opinion was expressed In various
circles here that the United
states will soon inaugurate a
blockade Of Mexican ports. Ru-
NOR has II that President Wilson
would be content with such an
action, and might even permit the
embassy 20 remain In Mexico City
until an open rupture occurred.
General Huerta resumed 0ust
ness at the national palace to-day,
apparently with no thought Of any
questions pending between his
government and that Of the United
States He seems to regard re-
cent incidents growing out OF
Washington's demand that he va
cate the presidency as closed, and
so they are, so far as he is con-
cerned, " his statements and
those close TO him are TO be be-
lieved.
Day Devoid Of Incidents.
With the exception OF one develop
ment. and that OF rather negative
character. the day was almost devoit
ion which exists. Notwithstanding IN.
Indifferent attitude assumed by Mex
co. The American charge d'aifalres
received instructions to continue e
advise Washington with resIeCt 10 de
,clopments. but he was not instructed
To- approach the Mexican government
officials again; nor did his instruc
ions include anything relative 10 the
OF the embassy.
Rumors that the charge had beer
ordered to leave persisted. although
an emphatic denial was made AT the
embassy. and trains leaving for Vera
'ruz were watched anNiously 10y
