FEAR WILSON M|SLED
IN MEXICAN OUTLOOK
Dispatches Deny Any Assurances
That Huerta Will Not Run
for Presidency.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington, sept. "a 'Dllti 800
the administration has arisen in the
Mexican situation President Wilson ana
his advisers have been certain for the
last few DAYS that they had assurances
from General Huerta that he would aolde
by the Mexican constitution and not De
candidate for election. nor would he AVIAN
himself Of the provision which would per
nit him to resign his present post ana
then run for the high Office
n was declared last week openly ano
without qualification that these assur-
ancps had been received, and the admin
istration received congratulations over the
martial success Of the mission OF john
Lind Now come news dispatches from
Mexico CITY which say without equiVo-
cation that Nelson O'Shagghnessy. the
American Charge d'Arsires, has never
received such assurances. verbally or
otherwise Senior Gamboa, Minister 81
Foreign Affairs. said the same thing on
Friday.
II is further reported that Mr. OShaugh-
messy has telegraphed 10 the state De
partment that Senior Ganboa has given
no assurances other than reiterating
what he said IN his second note TO Mr.
Lind that the constitution forbade the
provisional President becoming a candi-
date for election. That these un"elcome
tidings from Mr. O'Shsughnessy have
reached Washington could not be learned
from onicials to-day.
There has evidently been rather seri-
GUS Misunderstanding about Huerta ;
actual attitude and the alleged assur-
ances. or the administration has wrongly
construed the information AZ hand. II is
decidedly interesting situation made
more so by the reports which come from
Mexico city that Huerta is starting a
campaign for the Presidency through the
Mexican governments official organ.
II is not believed here that the shoot
ing Of the Mexican. Lieutenant ACosta, on
the international bridge at FL Paso by
United States customs Inspector Jonah
and immigration Inspector Hebron will
cause difficulties The State Department
has heard nothing official about the In
cident. Major General Wood. Chief OF
staff had a telegram from General Bliss.
IN command at FL Paso. which mentioned
the matter.
The State Department announced to-
night that shipments OF dynamite and
other explosives needed for working the
great mines I'm Mexico would be author
tied as heretofore
Literally interpreted, President Wilson'S
Mexican message To Congress indicated
that the expectation into Mexico from the
United States of explosives, even for IN
dustrial purposes. would be discontinued.
Representatives of the mining Interests
represented to the President, through the
state Department. that this would work
a great hardship. and were told that such
step was not contemplated.
II IS understood that President wilson
also will authorize the expectation OF linn
tied quantities of arms for Americans III

County nominations had been bought by

Coming as it does in the wake OF r
half dozen previous attempts by Sulzers

Following this Governor Sulzer sent for
District Attorney Whitman very suddenly,
and without making any definite an
nouncement Of the purpose II the ensuing
conference allowed the impression to 60
out that their talk had been in regard to
a confession from Stilwell. Whitman
would only say that il was for the Gov

OF A Stlwell confession came when John

Before any recurrence Of the rumor Of
StilWell confession emanated from the
Governors office on that occasion IT was

stock in whatever story he heard from

pardon by the Governor on the basis Of
what Stilwell told him.
While no part Of the story that Still

It was learned yesterday that the tale did
