Saws Wilson Reserved

Mexico City. November 1.-The polit-
ical intrigues of the White House against
our country have entered a period of ap-
parent inertia recently. President Wilson
showing himself reserved, undecided and
expectant. like one who prepares a most
telling blow" says Ell Pals in an editorial
article on the situation today.
II continues further:
THE cable, however. in spite of it's
laconicism, gives glimpse of the machi-
nations of the government at Washing
ton which may be summarized:
President Wilson has not resolved to
proceed frankly and openly against Mex
leo doubtless because he comprehends
the colossal injustices of his cause.
tHe searches for allies and accom-
plices In. the crime against humanity
plotted for in the White House seek
ing annihilation and despoiling US as Of
the time of Santa Anna.
ITO this end bend all efforts OF the
puritan President and 1t is known by
recent dispatches that efforts are being
made to bring about combined diplo-
matte movement by at least some of the
European powers to sanction acts which
the American government may attempt
against Mexico. 1t is said. France, Eng
land and Germany will aid President Will
son In the work. either by Intervention
or through CarranZa of obliging pro-
vislonal President Huerta to renounce
the high post he occupies.
I'VE are still obliged to believe that
the friendly powers which voluntarily
extended to Huerta their moral assist
ance will not aid the United States either
morally or materially because this would
be the essence of a flagrant violation
as judged by international law and op-
posed to the decorum of honorable gov
ernment''
Wheedling Powers
Today Eel Pals, a newspaper. says:
president Wilson doubtless has tried to
wheedle the foreign powers into per-
fidious conviction that violation of the
suffrage In Mexico has been suspended:
that Provisional President Huerta is no.
torously to blame; that he cannot be
considered by the voters as the constitu-
tional president, and-th European powers
are not obliged to stand by the recogni-
tion of him.
Nothing can be more sophisticai nor

Tuesday ballots will be cnst; final

The foes of Tammany Hall, united un-
der the standard Of fusion. with John
Purroy Mitchell as their leader. have
centered their FIRE upon Charles r.
Murphy, Tammany chieftain. Mitchell,
although tireless oampaigner, was
eclipsed as an orator by John A. Hen
messy. a political comet whose course
DETECTED the candidates from their
prescribed orbits of campaigning TO
acrimonious debate largely centered
about the recent removal Of William
sulzer fro moffice and revelations re-
snltant therefrom.
Hennessy was Suffers investigator
of graft in state departments and he
has made public what he claims TO have
unearthed In the way OF corruption His
bombardment of Murphy and Edward
f. Mccall, Tammany candidate for
mayor, resulted in John Doe investi-
cation by the district attorney and the
revelation that former State Senator
Stilwell, now in Sing Sing prison for
bribery, sought a pardon from Sulzer
by turning informer against Tammany.
These charges have. been met with hot
denials.
Both Predict Victory
Fusion leaders predicted tonight the
election of Mitchell by pluralites rang
ing from $4,000 to 125,00O. Tammany
was equally confident that Mccall
would win by from $4,000 to 100000.
The turmoil of the campaign has re-
suited in unloosenfng the tongue of the
Tammany chieftain for the first time in
the memory of his followers. Under the
assault Mr.. Murphy talked daily with
reporters. and on one occasion issued
81 statement of 1900 words Hardy less
striking than the spectacular charges
of Hennessy has been the apparent
sympathy of the Eastside for Sulzer In
his fight for election to the assembly
on the progressive ticket in the Sixth
district. Twenty years ago he repre-
sented the district. The former governor
also waged campaign against Aaron
]. Levy, democratic leader of the as
sembly, who is seeking election as
municipal court Justice.
In the epidemic of mud singing one
figure has been untouched. This is
Charles s. Whitman, district attorney
and candidate of all parties and fac
lions for reelection. He Is aiding in
the fight against Tammany.
OF minor interest are the contests for
