Mexico City, Mex, Nov. 15.--Sena
tors and deputies elected recently t.
form the new congress in place of tha
dissolved by Provisional Presiden
Huerta will meet at 8 O'Clock thi
afternoon, in their respective house
to choose temporary speakers.
Early today President Huerta ha,
given no indication that he intended
to alter his views in connection will
the demands made by John Lind, per
sonal representative of President viii
the new congress.
1t would be no surprise in offica
circles here if the American embass,
was withdrawn. Nelson O'Shaugh
messy, charge d'affaires, received {
communication from the state depart
nent at Washington last night which
it is believed contained instructions
governing his action.
doned by President Huerta within the
next few hours, the men chosen to
replace those senators and deputies
now prisoners in the penitentiary
will assemble for preliminary meet
ing with Manuel Cara Aldape, min
lister of the interior, as acting temper
ary chairman. Ordinarily this post
would fall to some member of the
previous congress.
Today's sessions are expected to be
confined TO the formality of selecting
temporary officers.
First regular session for the trans
action OF business lis due to occur the
afternoon of November 20.
Rumors heard yesterday circulated
with additional persistency today are
that the American embassy will be
withdrawn on Monday or earlier. Mr.
Lind is credited with the authorship
of these rumors and with the addi-
tional statement that marines are to
be landed as protest against Presl-
dent Huerta's defiance of the Wash
ington government In that event, it
is probable that Vera Cruz will be
evacuated by the federals.
1t is reported here that the govern
ment army commander at Vera Cruz
has been instructed in such an event
to make no opposition but to with
draw his force to some point nearer
the capital and there await instruc-
tions.
1t is not improbable that there will
be an eleventh hour alteration OF the
governments plan with reference to
the meeting of congress today since it
is not regarded as probable that Wash
ington will recede from the stand an
nounced by Mr.. Lind that congress
shall not meet as ordered by Presi-
dent Huerta.
IN view of Venustiano Carranzas
reputation of any form of mediation
by or alliance with the United States,
Provisional President Huerta can do
no less than join him in his express
sion of patriotic sentiment and main
tain unaltered his dignified attitude
toward Washington"
This statement was made at the ma
tional palace today
This declaration appears to cast ex-
treme doubt on any renewal of nego-
tiations between Mexico and the
United States, according to the view
taken by wellinformed persons here.
They declare that it tends to sub
stantiate the belief that no hope is
left of an amicable adjustment.
No indication had been given at the |
United States embassy up to 10 o'clock |
that General Huerta had man. |
ifested any desire to accede to the |
American demands relative to the |
Mexican congress on which it was re-
ported the limit was to expire at noon
today. Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the Am
erican charge d'affaires, denied, how
ever, that any limit had been fixed.
There was some indication that the
newly elected Mexican congressman
would meet for the purpose of organi.
zation at the hour specified. although
rumors were current that counter
order would be issued by the provision
al president at the last moment.
General Huerta is said to be yet un-
of the advisability of re-
signing and it is suggested here that
Carranza's refusal of the
proposition made to him by William
Bayard Hale, personal representative
of President Wilson. had had the ef-
'ect of bolstering him up in his de.
lance.
