Washington, Nov. I.3.--The admin.
istration did not believe Mexican
crisis imminent today.
It was still hopeful that President
Huerta would quit.
Despite John Lind's return to Vera
Cruz from Mexico City American in
tervention was no nearer than week
ago, 1t was stated.
Much significance was seen, too, in
President Wilson at least temporary
abandonment Of the statement Of the
situation he was preparing for issuance
either this afternoon or tomorrow. He
did this following the arrival Of mes
sages from Charge d. Affaires o 'Shaugh
messy, in Mexico City, and from Will
liam Bayard Hale, who has been in
conference with General CRrranzas, the
rebel leader, at Nogales, Mexico The
inference was that he would not have
dropped the statement IL he had not re.
ceived good news, which made its com.
pletion unnecessary.
Pressure Brought to Bear,
Tremendous pressure WAS brought to
bear on Huerta to retire, His friends
were quoted ss saying that he would
not do it, but the belief was growing
that he would. All foreign support had
been withdrawn from him, and he was
without financial resources to maintain
his government much longer.
Government officials here said that
undue Importance had been attached to
LiDd's departure from Mexico City. He
will be in as close touch with the CAPT.
tai from Vera Cruz, il was said, as
when he was there in person.
Powers Approve.
The administration was keeping the
powers informed concerning all Mexi.
can developments. II was said at the
state department that all Of them un.
qualifiedly approve Of America e
course.
William Bayord Hale's mission to
General Carranza remained a mystery.
Secretary Of State Bryan admitted that
Hale had made report TO him, but
would not discuss II.

"In other words" says Attorney
Trindle, "the drys Of Salem do not in

They have won victory Of the open
saloon and that is sufficient We have
not been fighting any other business in
Salem and we do not propose to go any

rum we have nothing to say further.
We have no ill.feeling toward any one
aud these rumors TO the effect we are

and unfounded." :"
Thus, according to Attorney Trndlc,
who has been leading the dry fight In

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 19.-That the big
steamship John Mclean, the finest
freighter on the Great Lakes, was lost
with all on board Sunday or Monday,
seemed certain today when the corpses
of 2l of her crew were washed up near
Port Huron, Mich, and along the Can

The Mclean carried crew of 2S
men and had accommodations for 12
passengers, so that it was feared others
besides the crew were drowned.

When asked if he would take any
part in the injunction suit now pending
which is to either hold up the final ac.
tion on the election returns on the wet
and dry question voted November 4,
Attorney Trindle stated it was more
than likely he would be called upon to
act in the interests of the drys, but, he
said, his efforts will only be directed
toward the closing of the open saloons,
and that he will not in any way inter.
