Washington Believes Huerta
Will Not Be a Candidate
for President of Mexico

That President Huerta does not propose
to stand as a candidate at the proposed
elections for Presid ! of Mexico Is be-
lief that seems to -evail today in ad-
ministration circles. With this assurance
made positive there IS some reason to be-
Iieve that the United States government
would be willing TO mark time and await
the developing of events, looking to an
adequate settlement of the Mexican prom
lem with the exercise of the franchise
and the poT uIar decision at the polls as
To who shall preside over the Mexican
s ip of state.
The belief that President Huerta Will
not stand for election cannot be based
upon the note of Senior Gamboa minister
II foreign affairs of Mexico, in which he
calls attention to the constitutional pro-
hib.tion against the candidacy for presi-
dent of an ad interim president.
