IRON, Mexico that Senior Gamboa, the
MEXICAN Minister Of Foreign Affairs, ridi-
cples the assertion that the United States
has received assurances that General
IIperta would not be a candidate for the
presidency are true. there is another
corplication in the Mexican situation
which makes the complication more difti-
.,,,, than ever and which will necessitate
the administration revising its apparently
Ueu-defned ideas OF conditions.
u was announced here two days ago on
che highest authority that this govern
rnsnt had two sets of assurances from
president Huerta: First. that contained
., a note from Senior Gamboa, in which
Tho minister pointed to the constitutional
provision which prohibits Huerta's from
Incoming a Presidential candidate unless
h. first resigns, and second, that given by
Gamboa 10 the American Embassy IN
Mexico City that Huerta would not re-
sign and become 4 candidate. Cnoncia!
reports now state that Gambia says no
such assurances nave been given.
There is considerable speculation mere
concerning the mission Of Senior Zama-
coma. No one knows precisely what MS
mission is, but # ne comes to washington
ne will have no difficulty in seeing the
nroper officials unless he demands 10 DC
ofScially received. IN that event the ad-
ninistraton would be compelled TO refuse
In view Of the fact, however. that less
than ten DAYS ago the Huerta government
waived its previous request for an ex-
change Of ambassadors il is thought un-
,;kelv that Huerta is now sending any

Can Travel First Class.
Tbe United States government to-day
broadened the powers Of its consular
representatives in Mexico 10 such oe-
gree that il is believed there Will De no
further obstacle 10 a more general WIN
drawal Of American citizens from the
danger zones Of the Southern republic.
American consuls in Mexico were IN
structed 10 furnish first class transporta-
ton 10 any who desired il, on condition
that they later reimburse the state De-
