| Indianapolis, November 4.-The
abrupt refusal of 30 members of the
police force TO ride with strilebreak-
ers caused the fourth day Of the street
car strike to pass without ear service
here. The policemen turned in their
ders to remain on patrol duty. Ii wns
| announced that charges would be pre-
ferred against all after the strike had
been settled.
An unusually large number of men
were on the streets due to the election
holiday. but little rioting was reported.
The strikers and sympathisers gathered
at a large meeting ON the courthouse
grounds and cheered several ministers
who counselled them to avoid violence.
Resolutions denouncing violence We're
passed by the strikers.
The refusal of the police to act came
when car was manned by strikebreak-
ers for trial trip The first three squads
of 10 policemen refused to get on the cars
and the reserve squads protested so vigor-
ously that it was decided to give up the
trip.
Will Not Board Cars
The policemen said they would march
with the ear. would fight in the streets:
use their guns and clubs at risk to them
selves and face the missiles of the crowd,
but they would not board the cars.

Whether some other communication,
less drastic than an ultima tum had been
presented. Mr.. Bryan positively declined
to state, maintaining that the government
should be free to shape its course of ac-
ton or such affairs without defining
each step through the press.
Wilson Casts Vote
President Wilson left early to cast his
vote in New Jersey, returning late this
evening. Meantime Secretary Bryan re-
manned at the state department where
there were no signs of unwonted activity
beyond the constant inquiries concern
ing the reports from Mexico City of an
other urgent communication.
In well informed quarters it was ad-
mitted that negotiations have been pro-
ceeding in pursuance of President Will
sons determination to secure the elimina-
ton of HIuerta as a factor in Mexico.
That ihis involved the delivery to the
Mexican authorities of another communi-
cation also was admitted. though it was
said this communication did not partake
of the nature of an ultimatum. This
much abused diplomatic term, 1t was
pointed out. marks a stage In negotia-

that a compliance with certain demands
must be made by a certain fixed hour
and date, leaving II to be inferred that
force would be used If necessary to bring
about a compliance. The term is often
popularity used to indicate an urgent
diplomatic communication that in effect
is calculated to bring the negotiations to
a definite issue and some officials sug-
gested il probably it was in this last sense
that the term was used in reports of
action taken at Mexico City.
Line of Development
The correspondence already published
shows that President Wilson has from
the beginning insisted that the United
states government cannot recognize the
legality of Huerta's claim to the presi-
Dental office, and also that, the o-called
elections held on October 26, in Mexico
fell short of meeting the Washington
views of the requirements of the con-
stitution. Consequently, it was said to-
day ii is logical deduction that this
last note or communication was III the
line of development of policy which
President Wilson has consistently pur
sued from the beginning and that in SUBJ
stance it amounted to a rather sharp re-
minder to General Huerta that the Uni
ted States government now looked to
him to meet its expectations and give
way to some regularly constituted au-
thority calculated to bring peace to Mex
leo by commanding the hearty support
of the factions now at war. In communi-
eating these views, however. it is said,
the officials here are desrous of having
their movements proceed in a normal
and nominal manner, without an over
emphasis which would imply that all the
resources of diplomacy had been ex-
hausted

WILLIAM SULZER
EASILY ELECTED

In the Sixth assembly district Will
liam Sulzer, recently deposed as gov
ernor, was elected on the progressive
ticket.
Tammany leaders early conceded the
election of Mitchell. but it was not un-
til nearly IL o'clock that they would
concede the board of estimate to fusion.
"It looks as if we had lost every
thing" Secretary Thomas s. Smith OF
Tammany Hall, finally admitted
"At the same time Samuel S. Koe-
mig, chairman of the republican coun-
ty committee, claimed the election ot
the entire fusion ticket in the greater
city and of the New York county ticket
as well.
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall, followed shortly with a
brief statement.

Huerta Silent

Mexico City, November 4-The UNDER
current of conversation at the national
palace tonight carried rumors regarding
President Huerta's attitude in the face
of Washington's demands that he re-
, tire, but the President himself preserved
an enigmatical reserve.
Huerta's intimates are familiar with the
terms of the communication. which they
regard as practically mandatory. The
memorandum from the administration at
Washington states that unless Genera,
Huerta retres Immediately, and there
after has nothing to do with the con-
duct of affairs or the formation of a new
government, the President of the United
States win issue an ultimatum, which il
rejected, will cause him to call upon Com
gress to authorize him to use sterner
methods.
The language used caused Huerta s
friends to regard the American communi-
cation in itself conclusive, since Cen
eral Huerta is given no choice regard
ing further participation in Mexico's Off
cial affairs
Only Acceptable Steps
In the memorandum it is impressed
upon General Huerta that his retirement
from the presidency and non-interference
on his part are the only steps which
will be acceptable to the American gov
ernment. He is pointedly reminded that
any attempt upon his part to leave as
his successor any of the men connected
with the coup d'etat by which he OBJ
tanned the presidency, or to utilize in
the proposed government any of those
chosen in the recent elections, even those
named congressman, would result in
the definite breaking off of all rela-
tions.
1t is suggested that General Huerta
be succeeded by some man or by some
small group of men who will conduct
the affairs of government temporarily
somewhat on the line of commission
form of government and that It be un-
derstood that this man or group of men
shall Immediately take steps to call new
elections for the purpose of establishing
a permanent government.
Anxious to Avoid Trouble
General Huerta is reminded that the
United States is anxious to avoid trouble,
as much for the welfare of Mexico as
to preserve international peace He is
finally urged to abandon power and to do
so Immediately, since the American gov
eminent. Ii is Indicated, will tolerate no
further temporizing.
The report that Washington had sent
a new communication to General Huerta
spread throughout the city. but aroused
only casual interest. TIE special cabinet
meeting cslled by the President for to-
day was not held. This is taken as an in
dica ton that he is not yet ready to dis
cuss the Washington demands with his
ministers.

MITCHEL'S VICTORY
EARLY APPARENT

The election of Mitchell was early
apparent, but not until nearly two
thirds of the returns were in was the
success of McAneny and Prendergast
assured.
Apparently, with the exception of as
semblymen in the districts which usu-
ally go democratic. and minor officers
in some of the boroughs, the opposi-
tion to fusion succeeded in electins
only one of its nominee-Maurice I1.
Connolly, for borough president of
Queens. The fusionists elected borough
presidents in BROOKLYN the Bronx and
Richmond, and apparently have pulled
through their candidate for president
of the borough of Manhattan, Marcus
M. Marks. by a small plurality over Or.
Thomas Darlington, Tammany. The re-
suit thus indicated would leave Tanl-
many but one vote out of the 16 in the
board of estimate, which controls the
city's purse. A fusion majority in the
board of aldermen also seems assured,

his triumph as a personal vindication, he
said and issued a statement thanking
his supporters and scoring Charles f.
Murphy, leader of Tammany hall, who
he declared was condemned by the vote
the district gave to William Sulzer as
it's representative at Albany.
THE people of the Sixth assembly dis
trict, said Sulzer in his statement,
''think better of me than of Mr.. Murphy
They know why Mr.. Murphy removed me
from the governorship; they know when
Mr.. Murphy asked me to do wrong | re-
fused to do wrong; they know when Mr..
Murphy tried to bribe me I refused to
be bribed; they know when Mr.. Murphy

Sulzer made his fight for election to
the assembly on the lines of the state
ment he issued tonight His canvass was
q whirlwind affair, def-unstrative crowds
greeting him wherever he spoke. He rare
ly went outside of his district but his
speeches within that territory were di-
