CANNOT BUT HAVE
IMPORTANT EFFECT

While there was no information from
the White House to Indicate what object
1t was hoped to accomplish through a
message at this time, there was a well
defined belief in official circles that Pres
ident Wilson thinks the reading of an
address which will lay the American view
point and the Huerta contentious before
the Congress and the people of this coun-
try, and which also will be made public
to the world generally, cannot but have
an important effect on the situation in
Mexico.
II is expected to be a partial answer to
the intimations of Provisional President
tfaefta fIf his mote that President Wilson
stands alone In his Mexican policy and
unsupported generally in Congress-
The first refutation of this Huerta sup
position came I'm the Senate today. when
prominent republicans vigorously upheld
the stand of the President
The expressions OF confidence In the
wisdom and good faith of President Will
son were made by several republican lead
ers In succession, after Senator Penrose
of Pennsylvania, republican, had intro
duced a resolution to require the Presi-
dent to place United States troops in Mex
leo to protect Americans. No action was
taken on The resolution, and though Sem
ator Penrose declared the sending of
troops could by resolution be decreed not
unfriendly to Mexico, the view at the
White House and state department was
that such move in effect would be an
act of war

The decision TO make comprehensive

developed no new basis for discussion.
With his message the President will pre-
sent the two notes. setting forth the
American suggestions to the Huerta gov

urged to do by members of his cabinet.

They feel now that Tbaw's fate, so Tar

that the minister of the interior will ac-

turn for submitting without further pro-
test to deportation.
Those who are advising Thaw, among
them some of the ablest criminal lawyers
In Canada, said tonight that they were
confident the government will welcome
such solution of the problem. No one
contends that Thaw has violated a single
law of the dominion. unless it be that law
which provides that no alien may enter
Canada without special permit within five
wears after he has been an inmate of an
asylum for the insane.

WILL NOT TAKE
DRASTIC MEASURES

President Wilson reiterated to callers
today that he had absolutely no intention
of taking any drastic measures, denied
that Secretary Garrison of the war de-
partment had been called back 10 WASH
ington and referred to the fact that Mr..
Garrison would take a vacation after his
inspection trip in the west was ended. He
incidentally compl.mented republican SEN
ators on their spirit of cooperation, EN-
phatically stating there had not been
the slightest exhibition of partisanship.
That Provisional President Huerta has
advanced the idea that recognition of his
government is a partisan question in the
United States. and that the democratic
party is not actually dominant. is admit
ted by administration officials, but they
believe that II such an illusion exists in
Mexico it shortly win be dissipated. not
only by news of today's debate in the
Senate but by the expectation that Con-
gress in some way will show its conf
dence In the President when he reads his
message
The administration hopes that when
the facts are known in Mexico the
Huerta authorities may be more in
cined to respect the American sugges-
tiOns.

DYNAMITE STICKS
FOUND NEAR OFFICE
OF MAYOR GAYNOR
Partly Burned Fuse Evi-
dences Narrow Escape of
MayOr-Charge Was a
Deadly One

New York. August 21.-A deadly
charge of dynamite--three whole TO-
Inch sticks and two halves with fuse
and detonstor--was discovered tnis aft
ernon near Mayor Gaynor,s office win
dows In the city hall. The bureau of
eombustibIes found that the explosive
was 40 per cent dynamite, the regu-
iation blasting proportion. and the
amount found sseuli.sff exploded. have
wrecked the city hall.
The mayor was in his office when the
dynamite was discovered by citizen
passing through city hall park. Mr.. Gay
nor evineed little interest when told of the
explosives proximity and remained ap-
parently undisturbed at his desk while
police officers hurriedly drew a Gordon
about the dynamite to keep back an ex-
cited crowd
Makes No Statement
Mr.. Gaynor frequently receives threat,
ening letters, but tonight he would make
no statement regarding the possible con-
nection between any previous threats by
mail and the dynamite of today. 1t is
just three years ago this month that he
was shot In the neck by so-called crank
and so badly wounded that for several
days it was feared he would die.
The dynamite found today lay on a
basement door in concrete moat or area
way within 60 feet of the mayors window
The explosive was arranged in a lattice
formation with the two small pieces on
top. A partly burned four-ineh fuse made
of gunpowder tightly rolled In a paper
cylinder led to detonating cap on one OF
the half sticks.
Close to the explosive was a piece Of
Chinese punk and several partly burned
matches The dynamite and fuse were
wrapped in piece of heavy cambric Sc
cured by red and blue twine. The cloth
was blue with red and white figures ana
resembled the fillets worn by Italian
women of the working class
Narrow Escape
Experts of the bureau of combustibles
state that the only thing which prevented
a disastrous explosion was the presence of
a strip of cotton wool wound so tightly
about the base of the fuse that a spark
could not reach the detonating cap. On
one edge of the dynamite stick it was
slightly scorched.
The investigators do not attach much
Importance to the finding of half burned
matches and partly consumed cigar near
the explosive. Hundreds of smokers pass
the areaway during the noon hour and
some of them occasionally throw dead
matches and cigar butts there.
The police authorities say that laborera
sometimes carelessly drop dynamite sticks
near their blasting operations There is
an excavation shaft on the Broadway
side OF City Hall park leading to the new
subway construction. Detectives ara
making close investigation tonight OF
this location, although the contractors de-
clare they do not use 40 per cent dynamite
in their operations.
