Episcopal Church have q pope?
Shall it take step now that may

This question will come up in the
Episcopal General Convention, meet
ing in this city in October. 1t is not
so worded but it is so regarded. Bish-
op Tuttle, Of Missouri, has so char
acterized it, and declares himself op-
posed to the scheme, and some years
ago in a previous general convention,
Rev. Dr.. w. NJ. Grosvenor, of this
city, a deputy from New York. shout
ed out the inquiry when the scheme
was up:
"Will he be Leo XIV or Plus Nl?'
Everybody laughed and the plan
for the moment was dead. 1t is
coming up again, and good many
Episcopal leaders think it will pass.

er, returning to Washington in March

curing this latter period ?" he was
asked.

WILSON to- READ
HIS MESSAGE
Will Appear With Docu-
ment!. at One O'clock
Tomorrow.
MAY SUBMIT A DRAFT.
Should Huera Capitulate to Demands
of United States. Message May
Never be Read.

Washington, Aug. 25. = President
Wilson today declared that he will
read his special message to joint
session of Congress at l o'clock to-
morrow unless unforeseen and unex-
pected developments occur in the
meantime in Mexico City. 4 change
of front by President Huerta is the
only thing which will delay delivery
of the message.
Having completed the message
which he has intended to read to
Congress tomorrow on the Mexican
situation, President Wilson may SUBJ
NIT a draft of the communication
this evening to the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations. On the other
hand, he may not read the message at
all.
The decision depends on develop
ments in Mexico today. If President
Huerta capitulates to the demands of
this country, backed by the persist
ent pressure of other foreign govern
ments, and agrees to resign as pro-
visional president, it is probable that
the message will never be read.
Administration officials were hope
full this morning that before nlghtfall
definite news will come from the Mex
lean capital that Huerta has agreed
to the proposals made by President
Wilson for All early and peacefui
solution of the civil war. AS yet,
however, the Mexican ruler has failed
to take any definite step in this d.
rection.
The most he has done to encourage
optimism is to encourage continu-
alton of the conferences between John
Lind. the Presidents envoy IN Mex
leo City, land the Mexican foreign MIN
lister. The great encouragement has
come from Europe where Huerta has
failed at every turn to raise money
for his muttering regiments, put
where, at every turn, he has met with
suggestions that he accept the propo-
sails of President Wilson.
