DIAZ TO QUIT.
Continued from Page One.)

embodied in a formal note which it
is expected will set forth the princi-
pie that constitutional government
alone must be established out of the
chaos in Mexico and will suggest
means for accomplishing that purpose.
Though the state department has
not been informed officially of the re-
ported purpose of Gen. Huerta to de-
clare Gen. Banquet as having been
elected, it is certain that in line with
previous declarations, the election of
last Sunday will not be recognized as
constitutional.
The inability of the Huerta govern
ment to conduct constitutional cleo
tion it is thought, will lead the Amer
lean government to suggest a method
of holding the elections in which safe
guards and guarantees can be given,
which will permit the Constitutional
lists to participate freely. Diplomats
generally here believe that before sug-
sestions concerning any election kcan
be carried out. the elimination of
Huerta from the situation must be ac-
eomplished.
II is thought that in much the same
way as President Wilson outlined re-
Gently to John Lind. the points upon
which a satisfactory settlement of the
trouble in Mexico seemed to be con-
dtioned. he will repeat his suggestions.
but will add the stipulation that some
one acceptable to all factions he placed
in provisional authority to conduct
fair and free election. Details of an
election plan, it is thought, would ae-
company such suggestions.
With the united support of foreign
governments, it is thought by some Off
Gals here that the retirement of Huerta
could be accomplished, though others
who know of Huerta's personality declare
he will not yield to any foreign pressure
and will retire only if the Constitution
alists' arms are successful. Various al
ternatives such as moral support for the
Constitutienalist cause, or lifting the
embargo on arms have been suggested as
ways to influence Huerta's retirement.
That some comprehensive plan fer deal
ing with the situation is expected by Eu-
rope was apparent, today, when the char
after of the representations made by the
diplomats at Mexico City to their home
governments became known. Although
no collective opinion was reached at the
recent conference of diplomats at the
Mexican capital, many of them, it was
learned, today, criticized the United
States severely for not taking such steps
as would restore tranquility. Some sug-
gested Intervention in one form or an
other. The French minister is said to
have been among those who roundly crit
icized the American policy, while the
Spanish minister is declared to have
made eaustfe reference TO the invasion
of the rights of the Spanish nationals
while the United States maintained a quiz
