COMMISSION
GOVERNMENT
FOR MEXICO

Mexico City Nov. 1.-THE under cur
palace tonight carried rumors regard
ing President Huerta's attitude in the
face of Washngton's demands that he
retire, but the president himself pre-
served an enlgmatical reserve. Huertas
intimates are familiar with the terms
of the communication which they re-
memorandum from the administration
at Washington states that unless Cen
eral Huerta retires Immediately and
thereafter has nothing to do with the
conduct of affairs or the formation
of new government, the President of
the United States will issue AN ultim-
tum, which, if rejected, will cause him
to call upon Congress to authorize
him to use sterner methods.
The language used caused Huertas
friends to regard the American commun-
icaton in itself as conclusive, since Gen
eral Huerta is given no choice regard
ing further participation in Mexico's Of
fetal anairs.
In the memorandum it is impressed up
on General Huerta that his retirement
from the presidency and non-interfer-
ence on his part are the only steps which
will be acceptable to the American gov
eminent. He is pontedly reminded that
any attempt upon his part to leave as his
successor any Of those men connected

PLANS HIDDEN IN
VEIL OF SECRECY
White House and State Depart
ment Both Reticent as
to Mexico.

Washington, Nov. "A well defined
'eport was current in official circles
tonight to the effect that the United
states had communicated anew to the
lluerta government it's views concern
ing the necessity of Huerta's retire
ment from the provisional presidency.
White House officials would neither
confirm nor deny the report and Sec
rotary Bryan was equally reticent. The
administration is endeavoring to work
out its plans in the quiet realm of
diplomacy and it is understood. will
continue to clothe in secrecy any ne
gotiations it may undertake to com
pose the situation
OutWardly, administration officials
view the situation calmly and some of
them express a feeling Of optimism over
the future, It was evident from a can
vass of administration officials that pub
hshed stories predicting armed interven-
tion were not justified at this time Per-
sons close to the White House declared
that both President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan were still hopeful that their pol
icy Of moral suasion would succeed, and
added that any assumption that plans
l'I lHttINtNlbl were DcluS ldld was un-
warranted.
80 far as the plans of the admnistra-
uon can be expressed in general terms,
the course that is being pursued is sub
Ject to change with the shifting develop
ments of each day, and high officials adj
init that daily different phases Of the
situation may crop up which make it
Impossible 10 predict even their own
course far into the future.
There is disposition to handle the
present diplomatic efforts by confininr
the discussion TO informal parlevs at
Vera Cruz and Mexico City unembar-
raised by the publication of any docu-
ments which in the Lind -Gamboa cor
respondence drew into the negotiations
the public opinion of both countries
as an important factor. The intention
it is believed by many trained OH
servers is to conduct conversations and
proposals with the Huerta officials in
secret until there are tangible develop-
ments. This, it is thought accounts for
the strict reticence that has been mani
tested in administration circles for
many days

Washington, Nov 3.--The Associated
Press dispatches from Mexico CITY were
read to Secretary Bryan over the tele-
phone shortly after midnight He mani
Tested much interest, but said he would
make no official comment
An during the evening the secretary
had been expected news developments
and prepared to stay up late to receive
dispatches. The night operator in the
telegraph room of the state department,
who usually leaves the key AT midnight,
Wa ordered to work through the night.
New of the ultimatum had been eN-
pcrtcd i'm official circles, though unusual
efforts had been made to keep secret the
plans of the administration.
Early in the evening an intimation
was conveyed to Secretary Bryan by
thu press that some announcement was
expected in Mexico City. He acquaint-
ed President Wilson with that fact but
the President had retired when the
news dispatches came and was not
awakened.
No intimation had been received up
to midnight by the state department
as to what the nature of Huerta's reply
might be, and no news had been re-
ceived officially that a meeting of the
diplomatic corps had been called to-
night These developments were
awaited with keenest interest by Off
Gals here.
