EXCITEMENT IN

DEEP But NOT NIOLENT-S -SITTA
TION SEEMS TO GROW MORE
CHAOTIC As DAY OF ELECTION
DRAWS NEAR.
FELIX DIAZ MAY ARRIVE FROM
CUBA TODAY-HIS FRIENDS BE
LIEVE HIS CHANCES TO WIN
ARE GOOD.

Mexico City, Oct 21.-Mexico City is
expecting something. and no one seems
to know just what it is. There is feel
ing of intense though supposed excite
ment in the air.
The fact that the national elections
are less than week away and that there
are at least three avowed candidates for
the presidency, each announcing a diff
ierent propaganda and each with a sem
blance of a following in every part Of
the government, has caused this state of
unrest and anxious expectancy.
The circulars that have been distribu-
ted throughout the entire country. bear
ing the signature committee" avowing
the candidacy of General Huerta. and
which announce Gamboa aS being on the
Huerta ticket as vicepreSident has some
what muddied the political waters. Gam
boa's Independent candidacy for the pres
idency is thought to be 4 thing Of the
past. and it is not thought now that the
Gamboa party will develop any strength
even should his name be submitted on
thc ballot
The candidacy Of Felix Diaz. who TO-
dav reaches Vera Cruz. is accepted as
IN established fact. II is thought he
will announce his intentions to run and
cnunciate his platform as soon rs he
arrives. The wise heads of the city see
no possible reason for his return lust
at this point unless il is that he hopes
TO beat Hucrta at the polls.
According to reports put ont bv j sc
Luis Requena candidate for vice-prcsi
sent on the Dfnz Ticket in Diaz makes
the fight. thousands of Diaz clubs have
been formed in the eastern and southern
states of the republic
The open demonstrations that marked
the Madero candidacy lust before the
election. are n-table only for their alb
Scncc. The voters are either apathetic
or are afraid to express preference. Ii
is hardy likely that decision will be
had on the election. whether one. two or
three or more candidates are i'm the field
until several weeks after the election The
chamber of deputies are REQUIRED to can
vaSs returns, but ut present there il
no chamber of deputies and ne sedenS
possible unless Huerta exercises his din
tatorlal powers and convOkeS Il congress.
This would prove the supreme test Of his
dIctat"rial powers and contest NAV he
made finally in the chamber Of deputies.
According to : me il will take i large
prepondcrance Of votes to make either
one of the other avowed candidates !
