CHURCHILL SEEMS SURE
OF PLACE ON BOARD
Mitchell Can Appoint Him Even
if He Is Dropped by
Kline To- morrow.

Mayor Kline probably will I'LL the nine
vacancies on the Board of Education to-
morrow Ii was said at the Mayors
Office Yesterday that the appointments
would be made. In keeping with the usual
custom. at the last meeting OF the Board
OF Education prior TO the expiration Of
the time allowed the Mayor. which oc-
ours tomorrow. Mayor Kline did not
intimate yesterday whether he intended
TO reappoint President Thomas w.
Churchill "A member OF the board.
Some Of the Mayors close friends were
inclined 10 believe that he would reap
point Churchill. despite the opposition
which has developed. They pointed cut
that Mayor-elect Mitchel's Endorsement Of
Churchill would have considerable weight
with Mayor Kline Even If Mayor Kline
did not reappoint Churchill, they ex-
planned. it would be easy for Mayor
Mitchell TO create vacancy in the board
when he assumed office by appointing
some member to another office and then
putting Churchill in the vacant seat.
The new president OF the board is not
elected until February. at meeting Of
the whole board. II Mitchell should make
room in the board for Churchill before
that time, II is probable that Churchill
would be reelected president, because Of
the predominating sentiment in his favor
among the board members.
President Churchill issued a statement
last night in which he reviewed some OF
the things accomplished since he has
been at the head OF that body. He de-
clared that he had worked in harmony
with Mr.. Mitchell when the latter had
charge OF school matters for the Board
of Estimate, and that much good had
been accomplished because of their har-
,nnniouS co-operaton.

ULSTER ENGAGES CABINET
Ministers to Play Waiting Game
Have African Policy.

London. Nov 2J.-One Cabinet coun-
Gil was held yesterday and another
will take place to-day Two matters
of the first importance are understood
TO be engaging the attention of his
majesty's ministers-the Ulster ques-
ton and the threatening outlook In
South Africa.
AS TO Ulster, there is reason to be-
lieve that the Cabinet does not con-
slider that there has been any marked
change in the situation since Premier
Asuuith's speech at Ladybank on Oc-
tober - Those therefore who expect
any important development in the inn
mediate future are likely 10 be disap-
pointed when Mr.. Asquith appears on
the platform for the National Liberal
Federation at Leeds on Thursday. IL
is far more probable that matters VIII
be allowed TO drag ON, possibly unui
after Christmas or even until the Sit
ting of Parliament. Such delay Will be
regarded by the Unionist leaders as
colossal blunder. but the government
are masters Of the situation
With respect to South Africa 1t IL
gathered that a course Of action has
been decided upon. but its precise ma
ture cannot for the moment be indi-

Rear Admiral Fletcher Sent
in Haste TO TampicO
and Tuxpam.
u. S. WILL PROTECT
BRITISH INTERESTS
President Pleased with Attitude
of Foreign Powers Toward
Mexican Policy.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Rear Admiral
Fletcher, commanding the American
warships on the Gulf Coast of Mexico
has been ordered TO proceed to ram
pico and Tuxpam to make a thoro"sh
investigation of the situation there
which threatens to develop a serious
and dangerous phase. 1t is in tAls
region that great British and American
oil interests are located, and while II
was given out last week that coni1-
tons had shown much improvement II
appears that the situation is still seii-
Gus.
The administration takes an intense
interest in the matter, principally ne
cause great British interests are m
volved. Representations looking to the
protection of British property by the
United States have already been re-
ceived 10y the State Department. Ihefe
was a report here to-day that the VIat
of Sir William Tyrrell. private secre-
tary to the British Minister for For
| eign Affairs, to President Wilson last
night was the cause of the orders 10
/ Rear Admiral Fletcher. At the British
| Embassy it was stated that Sir Will
| lam sought rather than gave informa-
/ ton at the White House, and that he
| had not asked that action be taken.
Rear Admiral Fletcher recently served
notice on the leaders Of the armed
forces operating in the vicinity of
| foreign oil interests that they would
naIm foreign property at their per-
sonal peril In one quarter it was
stated that the rear admirars action
was more than a warning-that IL was
a threat. 1t is believed that neither the
federals nor the Constitutionalists are
ready to risk an attack by American
| forces.
! 1t was stated at the Navy Depart
ment that Rear Admiral Fletcher was
| sent on this special and unexpected
mission on account Of kilograms re-
ceceived from Nelson Shaughnessy,
( the American Charge dAffaires in
/ Mexico City. who said that reports
We're current there that the United
States was about to land marines at
/ Tuxpam. a telegram was Immediately
sent TO Mr.. OShaughnessy saying
that this report was untrue, and then,
at 10 O'Clock last night the Secretary
of the Navy instructed the Rear Ad-
miral to go to TuXpam to look into the
situation.
