Mexico City-At the close of the
Mexican election Sunday indications
were that not sufficient votes had been
cast to constitute legal choice for the
presidency to succeed General Victor
iano Huerta.
No official announcement was made,
but it was estimated, judging from
the results in the capital, where it was
expected the vote would be up to the
average, that fewer than 10000 of
the $4,000 eligible voters in the feder-
al district went to the polls. There
are about 5000, 900 eligible voters in
the entire republic. 1t would be no
surprise if congress, the members Of
which also were voted for, declared
the election void when the body is or
gained and revises the returns.
The leaders of the Catholic party
claimed a long lead, although they
we're unable to estimate the number OF
votes polled for their candidates,
Federico Gamboa and General Ras-
con. If this claim is correct, it is
generally thought that General Felix
Diaz and Senior Requena ran second.
The Liberal candidates, Manuel Calero
and Flores Magon, had no printed
ticket at the polling places, their con-
stituents being obliged to write their
names in blank spaces.
President Huerta spent the day at
bis Popotla suburban home. A decree
will be issued by General Huerta in
creasing the army from 5000 men,
Its reported present number, to $780,
OOO General Huerta, proposed such
an increase some time ago, but the
congress which he dissolved later linn
tied him to $4,000.

Increased Effectiveness Far Out
weighs Cost Of Protection.
Mobile, Ala. Conceding the vast
benefits that will accrue to commerce
through the opening Of the Panama
canal, Secretary Daniels told delegates
to the Southern Commercial congress
that the opening would not double the
efficiency Of the navy. He denied
claims that increased mobility Of the
fleets would add so much to the sea
power of the United States. He &C.
knowledged, however, that such mo-
bility would render the navy more
efficient.
In the long campaign to induce the
American people to pay the millions
necessary to construct an Isthmian
canal, said the secretary, zone Of
the strongest arguments for the large
expenditure was that such canal would
double the efficiency Of the navy. We
were told also that it would make for
efficiency in the army and make the
United States the dictator of the
Western Hemisphere and the mistress
of the seas.
CHOW that the canal is nearing COM
pletion and the day is near at hand
when ships will sail from San Fran
cisco to the Caribbean in about 24O
hours against 1924 hours it took the
Oregon to sail around Cape Horn, we
are told that the building of the canal
demands twice as large navy as for
merly and that control of the canal de-
mands a large standing army on the
isthmus.
Secretary Daniels referred to the
declaration of Count Maurice DEFER
igny, celebrated explorer, that "this
gigantic and remarkable work of the
United States is insufficiently protect
ed in military sense. The French
man calculated that Is, 900 men would
barely be sufficient to guard the water
way.
''But in these statements" Secre-
tary Daniels continued, ''as in almost
all other things, the truth lies between
two extravaganza assertions. The
canal will not double the effectiveness
of our navy, but it will greatly in
crease its ability to defend every part
of the coast on the Pacific as well az
on the Atlantic. It will not multiply
the numbers of the army. It will
make necessary Notifications and
troops but it need not be nearly SO ex-
pensive as the distinguished French.
man predicts.
mo great achievement comes with.
out sacrifice and cost, but the benefits
to be derived will be worth the mod.
crate cost its protection and operation

and with the expansion of trade the

whereas the expense will remain prac.
tically stationary"
