Quoked Hneata Otter

MEXICO CITY. Oct 2s-The Ner-
wegian minister, Michael Stromtie, to-
day emphstically denied he was au-
thority for the statement that General
Huerta had made an offer to the
diplomatic corps to resign the presi-
dency
A story that gained wide circula-
ton was that the Norwegian. British,
Spanish and French ministers called
upon Huerta and asked him what he
meant to do. Huerta was said to
have explained that he would resign
the presidency, provided David de Ia
Fuente. the Liberal Republican candi-
date. were named in his stead
The announcement by Secretary
Bryan that England, FRANCE and Ger
many had agreed to leave the Next
can problem to the United States and
make no move until Washington has
announced a definite policy, caused q
noticeable change of front here. Sir
Lionel Garden. the British minister.
lost some Of the prestige that
came to him because OF his recent in
terview and the German and French
ministers, Won Heintze and Lefavre,
were not so active.
The announcement that General
Aureliano Banquet. war minister,
would become president should the
new congress declare the election
valid, and the Huerta-B Banquet ticket
the winner. was confirmed by For
eign Minister Moheno.
