Many Efforts Made to Find Out
from the American Charge DAT
flares What Man Would Re

sor to Huerta.

Mexico City, Nov. 14.-President
Huerta's attitude toward the demands
of the United States that he make way
for a new government is that of one
only half convinced, Notwithstanding
the fact that a few Of his closest
friends and political advisers are urg-
ing. although with due caution, that he
accede
representatives of this element in
the Cabinet conferred to-day with Nell
son O'Shaughnessy, the American
Charge d'Afaires. but were given no
assurances that President Wilson had
unbent sufficiently to warrant hope
that the negotiations would be re-
opened. In spite Of this. however
those friends of Huerta who are con-
vinced that the United States is not
blufing believe that they will be able
vet TO bring about the desired change
N time TO prevent a complete rupture
of diplomatic relations. This convic-
ton is based on the fact that Wash
ington has not put into effect its i'm
olied threat to remove the embassy or
announced any new course OF action.
Sir Lionel Garden, the British Min
ster. has conveyed to Huerta an init
nation that the United States is in
earnest in its intentions. and is said to
have told the President that the Brit
\ lsh government is disposed to back the
United States morally.
Sir Lionel was reticent regarding his
Representations to Huerta, bat it, is an
open secret that they were made, and
Huerta is said TO have been deeply i'm
pressed when he realized that the ma
ton which he had believed would stand
by him indefinitely had joined with one
which he regards as his enemy.
That Huerta's friends are trying TO
persuade him to vacate the Presi-
dency, or at least TO prevent the new
Congress from meeting, is a feature of
the situation that is not discussed by
them except with absolute secrecy. 1t
is one Of those subjects which ii is con-
sidered not safe to discuss.
Huerta is said tonight to be con-
sidering his own elimination, although
this is always denied whenever the
direct question is put to any one con-
nected with the government.
Tomorrow is the date fixed for the
preliminary meeting Of Congress, and
tonight there appears to be no rea-
son to believe that it will not convene,
notwithstanding the unequivocal de-
mand Of the United States that il
should not do so. The meeting is for
nothing more than the presentation of
members credentials and organization,
after which, following the usual Gus
tom, there will be lapse Of some days

WOMAN, HOLD-UP VICTIM,
STARTLES FIFTH AVENUE
Face SIaShed and Bleeding, She
RuSheS from 46th Street,
Crying for Help.
THIEF HID IN CELLAR
Pounced on His Prey in Semi
Darkness, Strips S400 Ring
from Her Hand and
Escapes.

A woman with her face cut and
bleeding, hair hanging loose and her
clothing soiled and torn. ran screaming
into Fifth avenue at 10Th street yes
terday afternoon when the shopping
nour was at its close.
i've been robbed" she cried to a
traffic policeman. He held me up and
beat me-"
Instantly the long line OF automobiles
thronging the avenue was blocked by a
jostling mob. which surged around the
woman and the policeman. When her
incoherent appeals for help were
quieted she indicated that the assault
had been committed I'm 18th street, and
led the policeman into that street.
At one corner Of Fifth avenue and
4Gth street is the Calvin Building, No.
5Gl. on the 10th street side of the
| building Is the store Of William Ed
ward Spading, known as the king
Hooper Shop" where, according to a
sign. quaint old china. furniture, sill
yer. pictures. Jewels and furnishings
are sold.
Into this shop the woman led the
policeman. There she said she was
Mrs. l.. NJ. Grove and was the man
ager OF the shop. When the policeman
asked her how she was robbed. how
ever. her eye fell on the drawer of a
cash register yawning open. and Mrs.
Grove became hystercal again.
She was finally taken TO the East
DIST street station, and. after the ma
tron had treated the cut on her face,
tho detectives were called in.
The detectives learned from her that
the king Hooper Shop" was only
opened for business Thursday. In
preparation for this opening she en-
gagged James Simons, seventeen years
old. OF No. 424 West 43d street, as
errand boy, a week ago. At the ad-
dress given, the detectives later
learned. no one knew of Simons.
Early yesterday afternoon, 1t Is be-
lieved. Mrs. Groves assailant must
have gone to the cellar of the build
ing. used as n storeroom Of the shop,
and secreted himself there. During the
day, until closing time at . o'clock.
Mrs. Grove had no occasion to visit the
storeroom, sending Simons to the cellar
on the various errands necessary.
Soon after the last customer had
gone Mrs. Grove, leaving Simons TO
guard the store, went to the cellar to
prepare some of her wares for the next
day. In the semi-darkness. she said,
young man jumped from behind some
boxes and struck at her.
Her first outcry was stified when her
Iassailant choked her. Still struggling
in desperation. Mrs. Grove continued to
trv TO call for help until, after her
check had been laid open by a blunt
veanon. the young man beat her, dazed,
to the floor.
When she recovered consciousness she
found that a diamond ring, valued at
800 her wedding ring and two brace
lots worth $40 each, ahd been torn from
her hands and arms. She called for
Simons and when no help came she
Climbed the stairs to the store. where
cha found that the cash drawer had
heen opened and $50 taken. Neither
simons or her assailant were to be
found

DEAD MAN NOT SLOWER,
AS At FIRST THOUGHT
Friends Of Park Commissioner
Say Description of Body
Differs in Main Points.
DROWNED IN DELAWARE
Wilmington Coroner Reports
That Victim of River Coin
cides as to Age and Build
with City Official.

DISPATCHES received last night from
The Tribune correspondent In WI
mington. Del, told of the finding OF
the body of a man, who. according 10
Coroner Spring, Of wilmington, bore
a close resemblance to Park Commls-
sioner Stover, who has been away
from his home, the University Settle
ment. at No. 1S4 Eldridge street, TOT
several weeks. The body was iouho
in the Delaware River and had only
been in the water for a few hours.
When The Tribune communicated
with Robbins Gilman, manager OK the
University settlement Society, last
night. and told him Of the finding OF
the body. Mr.. Gilman asked for a de-
scription of the dead man. After lls-
tening to all the details, Mr.. Gilman
said he was certain the body was not
that of the Park Commissioner. as tne
points of resemblance were few ana
the measurements and appearance or
the body found in Wilmington df-
fered in essential points from the
physical characteristics OF Mr.. StoVer.
one thing that made the manager or
the University Settlement positive the
drowned man is not the Park Commits
sioner is the fact that two pairs of
eyeglasses were found in pocket or
the drowned man. commissioner
Stoyer according to Mr.. Gilman, never
wore eyeglasses in the last fifteen
years, and prided himself on his ability
to read fine print.
Another difference in the appearance
of the drowned man and Mr.. Stover
was in the cheek bones, which in the
Wilmington body were described as
prominent. Mr.. Gilman said the Park
commissioners were not of this type.
The age of the drowned man, sixty
10 sixty-fve years, his gray hair and
the bald spot on top of his head, as well
as the fact that he was heavy set and
about ; feet . inches in height, coin
eide with the appearance of Mr.. Stover
When asked yesterday about the
protracted absence Of Park Commits
sioner Stover and his designation OF
Commissioner Kennedy as president OF
the board, Mayor Kline said:
There is nothing mysterious about
Mr.. Stover's absence at this time. He
had been In office several years without
a vacation and was entitled TO one.
We are informed by his close friends
that he will be back tomorrow Mr..
La Roche had a letter from him yes
terday to that effect. | designated
Commissioner Kennedy, senior member
of the Park Board, as acting president
until Commissioner Stover returns 1t
was necessary for me TO do this be-
cause certain contracts were pending
which required the signature Of the
president of the board. Commissioner
Stover will resume the presidency of
the board on his return"

Everett p. Fowler. Of Kingston. de-
scribed in John A. Hennessy's CAM
paign speeches as "Murphy's upstate
bagman," was indicted for extortion
yesterday by the General Sessions
grand jury. He will be arraigned be-
fore Judge Grain this morning.
Seneca P. Hull, a contractor in Cort-
land County who got one small road
contract in 1911 for S23, 800 and was
held up" for $3.50 that year. and for
500 in 1912. was the chief witness
against Fowler. His evidence was
convincingly backed up by checks and
letters.
The sudden indictment in the cam
paign fund graft inquiry was made
possible by the particular interest
taken in Whitman's work by a college
classmate of the District Attorneys at
Amherst. This classmate, Edwin
Duffy, as District Attorney Of Cort-
land County, had an inkling OF the
"hold-up" that had been perpetrated
on Hull, and when Whitman's work
began to shape up Duffy went to work
on Hull To convince him that 1t was
his civic duty to come forward and
tell what he knew.
