Passing Of the Straw Hat.

The shades of night were falling fast,
When through a mighty city passed
\ youth, who wore, with manner bold
A faded summer straw hat old.
The crowd came on III frenzied crush
Twas like college football rush;
He gasped with fright, for all he saw
Was twenty bits of tattered straw.
Beware. young man, the time is here
To make a change in your headgear.
So Just be careful where you're "at,"
And lay away the old straw hat.

O'SHAUGHNESSY TO
GET HISPASSP0RTS
Washington Hears That L. s
Charge Has Been Invited
to Leave Mexico.
OFFICIALS HERE AMAZED
Affront Offered by Mexican
Ruler Expected to Lead
to Grave Crisis.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.-At 30
o'clock this morning officials in Wash
ington had received no official con-
firmation OF Huerta's ultimatum to
this Government. but they were will
ing to concede 1t probably was true.
Information had come to them that
Huerta was about to give Nelson
O'Shaughnessy. the Charge Of the
American Embassy in Mexico city, his
passports to become effective to-day
(Tuesday).
Officials Of this Government seemed
dazed to learn Of the defiant attitude
adopted by the President Of Mexico.
They were unwilling even to intimate
what course would be followed.
1t was acknowledged yesterday that
all efforts at mediation had been
thrown aside and that 1t would now
be up to this Government to determine
Immediately what course 1t win pur-
sue.
There seemed to be only two avenues
open for the United States-interven-
ti0n or an absolute discarding Of all
American interests In Mexico. Presi.
dent Wilson has set his face stubbOrnly
against any resort to arms In Mexico
and has intimated that he would not
adopt such course unless absolutely
forced to It.
The other alternative contemplates
the immediate removal from Mexico Of
all Americans and practically the aban-
doning Of American interests there.
This policy would mean that the fac
tions In Mexico would he left to settle
their own quarrels and all barriers
against shipments Of arms into Mexico
would be lifted by this country. Such
a course would mean the ruination Of
the business Of other countries In Mex
leo. but this Government does not be-
lieve that any Of the European Powers
would attempt to interfere.
1t was very apparent early this
morning that the Administration was
greatly worried over the sudden de-
velOpments In Mexico.
The action Of President Huerta does
not necessarily mean Of course that
this Government will be plunged into
war with Mexico. 1t does mean. how
ever. that the situation has now become
acute and will be more difficult to
handle than at any time since 1t has
arisen.

tracts-Levy Outlines
~ Plans of Managers.

The impeachment Of Gov. Sulzer was
legal and Lieut. Gov. Martin II. Giynn
Is constitutionally required to act as
Governor until after Sulzer's trial, &C.
cording to an opinion given yesterday
by Attorney General Thomas Carmody.
The contention that Mr.. Sulzer does
not relinquish his office unless found
euilty does not stand in the face Of the
Constitution. Mr.. Carmody says.
Answering the argument that the As
sembly had no right to pass an impeach-
ment resolution in special session. Mr.,
Carmody holds that the action was
judicial and not legislative. and there
fore Is legal without recommendation
from the Governor.
Gov. Sulzer and acting Governor Glynn
each took a hand in the Thaw case.
Gov. Sulxer had a talk with John B.
Riley. Superintendent Of Prisons. and
Mr. Glynn announced that he had set
machinery In motion by which It was
hoped to md out who was responsible
for Thaw's escape.
Gov. Sulzer's only official act yestor-
day was the holding Of meeting Of the
Board Of Trustees Of Public Buildings
all by himself.
Acting Governor Glynns oficial act
was to honor requisition papers from
Gov. Foss Of Massachusetts.
The policy to Isolate Gov. SulsAs rs
continued when Mr.. Giynn. acting Lieu
tenant Governor Wagner and Speaker
Smith decided not to have their meeting
as trustees Of public buildings until
to-day.
A special Grand Jury at New City
handed up six indictments against four
persons and two corporations COR al

Aaron ]. Levy. chairman Of the As

York yesterday that his board will meet

any crime an indictment will be asked |;
that Louis A. Sarecky and Frederick
l.. Colwell will be ordered to give tes-

Mexican President, in Sharp
Note, Declines Any For
eign Intervention.
HE HAS OUTPLAYED L. s.
Avoided Pressure From Other
Nations by Demanding Sc
crecy Regarding Note.

WARRINGTON, Aug. IS. - President
President Wilson had evolved for the
peaceful settlement OF Mexican dif'fculties
In his answer to the American note which
was forwarded to Washinston this after.
noon Gen. Huerta declares that he will
not consider mediation of Mexican affairs
by any foreign Power.
The Mexican problem Is now as puzzllns
and pressing In the eyes Of Administra-
ton ohicials as 1t was the day President
Wilson received the informal note from
the representatives Of certain European
Governments in Mexico city. but with this
addition. that the Administration has
tried out the plan which offered the high.
est promise OF success. has found 1t un-
successful and must now fall back upon
suggestions that were rejected In the be-
ginning.
The President considered the Mexican
reply at long conference with Secre-
tary Bryan and Counsellor John Bas-
sett Moore this afternoon. It can be said
definitely thst he 10 not considering armed
Intervention as the next step by this Gov
ernment
There are good reasons for believing
tonight that the President will make an
effort to procure the withdrawal Of Gen.
Huerta's refusal before giving up the
mediation idea entirely. Failing in this
he may fall back OH two courses ac-
cording to those who have followed his
lines Of thought closely throughout the
Mexican crisiS. He may inform the Gov.
ernments OF the world OF the effort he
has made to settle Mexican affairs. urge
all Americans to withdraw from Mexico
and permit the indiscriminate shipment
Of arms and munitions to the Fcderals
and revolutionists. In the hope that they
may be able To work out their own sal.
