The report from London that Felix

Word was received at the State De-
partment to-day that The Mexican
| Herald" an American newspaper pub
lished in Mexico City. was urging
| Americans not 20 accept the advice Of
the Washington government to leave
Mexico. The paper asserts that there

away from most parts Of the country.
| This. il is expected. will serve TO com
plicate matters, and IT is feared that il
such agitation is kept up President
| Wilson will not meet with success in
clearing Mexico of Americans.
II is believed here that many Ameri-
cans will remain in Mexico City, and
that there will be few departures from
ports or other places, where getting
away would be easy in an emergency.
Reports continue 10 arrive. however,

sea ports on the Gulf and Pacific coasts,

| Hale the magazine writer. who for
many weeks has been sending reports
to the President from Mexico. After
Mr.. Lind arrived in Mexico he and Mr..
| Hale worked together. Mr.. Hale will
probably come 10 Washington on
Wednesday.
There is one report 10 the effect that
the administration has some tangible
reason for believing that Huerta will
not be candidate for election. and
that this comprises an additional rea-
son for not disturbing the situation.
When a Mexican official here was
asked if Huerta would be candidate
he replied:
Doesn't Gamboa's note say that he
will not?"
It is true that Sehor Gamboa in citing
the constitutional provision which

election. did imply that he would not
