NUT TING
Supporters of Alderman Ragsdale
Believe HarweII Support Will
Be Given Them.

Friends of Alderman James K. Nut
ling Tuesday declared that there was
no longer any doubt about his cleo
ton to the office of Mayor Pro TEN.
They claim II of the 80 votes in
Council The optimistic announce
ment was made after a conference of
me leaders, which took place imme-
diately following the adjournment of
council Monday afternoon.
Supporters of Alderman l. n. Rags
dale, second strongest in the race for
Mayor Pro Tenn, are by no means
willing to concede a victory to Alder

men claim that they still have their
Il votes. Alderman Nutting has been
put forward as strictly anti-Wood-
ward party candidate and the leaders
# this faction take the view they
ant afford to suffer defeat. They
would regard the defeat OF Nutting as
= Woodward victory in Council,
something that has not happened
since the beginning of the present
administration.
Woodward Keeps Silent.
Mayor Woodward is silent, and that
adds to the uncertainty of the situa-
lion. He might exert himself before
he voting takes place.

The conferences are expected
to last several days and Huerta
is expected to make his reply to
President Wilson'S demands only
after the foreign ENJOYS have
communicated his plea to their
home governments and received
instructions.
Hope for Powers Support.
Huerta by this action is making a
strong bid for international support,
but no matter what the outcome may
be, it is expected that his answer will
be complete defiance of the Amer
can demands. He has a faint hope
of securing support from other pow
ers, but If this falls he is expected to
"gO It alone" and lead the Mexican
army in person against any invaders
1t is possible that Huerta will make
no formal reply to the American de
mand, but will, instead, have pass
ports handed to Nelson O'Shaugh-
messy, the United States Charge
D'Affaires. This will be official notl-
fication that the diplomatic relations
of the two countries are severed.
The next step in the natural course
of events would be war.
Diplomatic relations, however
probably will not be severed until the
diplomatic conferences are ended
The ENJOYS of Russia, Germany and
Norway returned from Vera Cruz to
day.
These three men, fresh from their
conferences with John Lind, are to
exert great influence in preventing u
final rupture between the two ma
tions. interests of three countries In
Mexico would be seriously threatened
by an international warfare.
