Whether Negotiations with
Mexico Are to Be Con-
tinued
MEXICO is WILLING,
1T IS INTIMATED
Foreign Minister Gamboa
Says That the Break
Is Not Complete

Mexico City, Aug. 20.--Further nego-
tiations looking to peaceful settle
ment of the Mexican problem following
Provisional President Huerta's rejection
of President Wilson's proposals, as sub
mitted by his personal representative,
John Lind, would appear now to do
pend upon Washington. If the United
States governments will reopen the con-
troversy there is every reason to believe
that the Mexican government would be
willing.
Frederick Gamboa, Mexican foreign
minister, said in a statement last night
that the negotiations between Lind and
the Mexican government had not entire
ly been broken off, but that they were
being continued confidently. This COM
munication was made to the representa-
tives of Mexican newspapers for local
publication this morning and was the
first news given to the public through
the local press regarding the interna-
tional dispute since Monday morning.

FUSION ENDORSED
BY REPUBLICANS
They Decided Not to Put Up Candidate
Against John Purroy Mitchell for
Mayor of New York.

New York, Aug. 2O.-The Republican
party in this city decided in convention
this morning to endorse the fusion may
orally nominee, John Purroy Mitchell
collector of the port, and not to place
any candidate of its own in the field.
The city committee held one of the
stormiest meetings in its history and
the name of District Attorney Whitman
was repeatedly shouted by the delegates
who wanted the Republicans to desig-
nate him for the mayoralty
Mr.. Whitman sent a telegram saying
he would not accept mayoralty nomi-
nation and urging the party to stand by
the fusion ticket.
The committee endorsed William A.
Pendergast and George McAneny, the
fuison nominees for control
Ter and president Of the board of alder
men. The Progressive city committee
last night also endorsed these three flu
sion nominees.

THROWN INTO STREET.
When Bicycle Ran Into Vehicle Contain
ing Mr.. and Mrs. John F. Tassie.

When an unknown cyclist hooked in
with light driving rig occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. John +. Tassie near the Sem
mary street intersection of Summer
street last evening the five -year-old colt
which Mr.. Tassie was driving became
frightened and dumped the wagon and
its occupants into the street. Mrs. Tas-
sic sustained several painful bruises and
a bad shaking-up, while her husband,
who pluckily elung TO the reins, was
dragged distance of ten rods before he
released his hold. What became of the
bicyclist is not known, for he disappear
ed soon after he had extricated himself
from the collision. John f. Cook of the
firm of Cook, Watkins & Co., who hap
pened along in an automobile, took Mr..
and Mrs. Tassie to their home on South
Main street. Released from the harness,
the horse started on wild career up
Summer street and not until West
street was reached did the youngster
come to halt.
Mrs. Tassie's condition is not consid-
cred serious, although she was consid-
erably unnerved by her experience Her
husband is little the worse for the af-
fair, although he was able to exhibit a
number of bad flesh wounds this morn
ing. The latter stated to-day that the
carriage was reduced to small dimen-
sion stuff when it overturned. Two
wheels were badly shattered and the
thills We're somehow ground into
kindling wood The seat and under
slung of the wagon were also ruined.
Mr.. Tassie didn't think the wagon would
be worth repairing. Prior to the APP
pearance of the bicycle. Mr.. Tassie had
been put to some pains in controlling
the colt when the team approached a
crowd of boys playing automobile near
the Catholic church. He had just sue

WASHINGTON HOPES,
THOUGH ANXIOUS
Only Part of Huerta's Reply Has Been
Received and Complete Text Is
Looked for at ANY Time.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 20.--Hopeful,
though somewhat puzzled by the days
developments, administration officials
anxiously awaited the receipt Of the
Huerta governments complete reply TO
the American communication presented
by John Lind, personal representative OF
President Wilson in Mexico.
President Wilson and Secretary Bry-
an had received during the past "a
hours
A summary from Mr.. Lind giving
briefly the Huertd governments rejec-
tion of the American proposals.
About 1000 words of the text Of the
Huerta reply, reported to be 1000 words
long
A message from Mr.. Lind stating that
he had been in conference at an early
hour yesterday with Provisional Presi-
dent Huerta, that the interview had
been cordial and was brought about at
the suggestion of Huerta himself
The information coming in diseonnect-
ed cipher messages was given to all mem
bers of the Senate committee on foreign
relations and had the effect of staving
off debate on the Mexican question fol-
lowing sensational reports of a threat
ened severance of relations by the Huer.
ia government.
One thing that confused the situation
yesterday was the fac that only the
first part Of the Huerta note reject
ing the American proposal had been re-
ceived. This was eouched in cordial
terms, setting forth the reasons why
mediation or outside interference is inn
possible of acceptance to the Huerta ad-
ministration. II cited particularly that
the pride of the Mexican people could
not brook the settlement of an internal
controversy at foreign hands, but the
principal argument was not reached in
this statement of the document
In the meantime news that subse
quently Mr. Lind had resumed negotia
tions with Huerta inspired a feeling of
hope that something tangible might re-
suit from the interchange of views.
There was an undercurrent of scepti-
cism among some officials, however, who
were inclined to credit Senior Urrutia,
Mexican minister of the interior, with
the responsibility for the reports pub
lished yesterday that recognition had
been demanded of the United States
with threat of severing relations be-
tween the two countries.
1t is believed here in some quarters
that Provisional President Huerta has
practically decided to resign in favor
of FREDERICK Gamboa, minister Of for
eign relations, with the intention of be-
ing a candidate in the coming elections.
With the country up in arms against his
regime, however, it is generally doubted
here that Huerta could be elected.
Publication of the American note has
been postponed to await the outcome of
Mr.. Lind's second efforts to reach an un-
ierstanding with Provisional President
Huerta.

START AFTER THAW.
Officials Left Poughkeepsie Last Night
With Intention to Take Him Back.

Poughkeepsie, n. ", Aug. 20.--Dis-
trict Attorney Edward Conger, Sheriff
Fred Hornbeek and former District At
torney John E. Mack left this city last
night for Sherbrooke, p. O., by way of
Montreal, with the avowed intention OF
taking Harry Thaw into custody and
returning him either to the Dutehess
county jail or to the Matteawan asylum,
The Dutchess county officials are
armed with warrant charging conspir-
acy, issued by, Supreme Court Justice
Morschauser. If Thaw cannot be extra
dited on the conspiracy charge, new
warrant charging bribery will be applied
for and an attempt made to extradite
the fugitive on this charge,
1t is the hope of the district attorney
and his associates, however, that Can
ada will deport Thaw and in so doing
land him over the international line in
New York, instead of New Hampshire
or Vermont. Ii so Mr.. Conger and his
associates will be waiting on the line to
take Thaw into custody. They don't
want him returned to the United States
in any other state than New York for
the reason that he would in any other
state have an opportunity to attempt to
prove that he is sane and almost in
terminable litigation would follow.
Sheriff Hornbeck and District Attor-
ney Conger went to MatteawaD yester-
day afternoon to get more complete de-
scriptions of the five men, Richard But
Ter, Roger Thompson. Eugene Duffy,
Michael O'Keefe and Thomas Flood, who
aided Thaw to escape. The officials in
quired also as to the ownership Of the
automobile which they believe was used
as pathfinder for the Thaw car on Sat
urday last.
Chief of Police McCabe ascertained
that this car made the tour from Mat
teawan to Connecticut and return last
Saturday to pick out the best roads for
the Thaw automobile. District Attor-
ney Conger learned the number of the
car and communicated with Secretary of
State May as to its ownership. 1t was
found that the number was that of three
trucks. The officials believe
it was taken from one of the trucks and
used by the driver of the pathfinder.
Howard Barnum, the Matteawan
guard, who opened the gate on Sunday
when Thaw made his escape.
had nothing to say when notified that
Thaw had been captured. Barnum's ex-
animation will be held before Supreme
Court Justice Morscchauser Thursday.
The prisoner will face the charge of bri-
berry, conspiracy and neglect of duty as
a public official.

DEFEND SUPERINTENDENT.
DR.. Kieb's Administration Declared to be
Efficient.

Albany, n. Y, Aug. 20.-After con-
ference with Duchess county authori-
ties, Deputy Attorney General Parsons
last night announced that 'if it were
deemed necessary" Deputy Attorney
General Franklin Kennedy would be des-
ignated to go to Canada in an effort to
secure Thaw's return to this state. 1t
was pointed out at the attorney gem
erals office that the Canadian author
tiles might interpret their deportation
laws SO that Thaw could only be re-
turned to the state from which he en-
tered Canada. In this event, it was
said Deputy Attorney General Kennedy
might endeavor to influence the Domin-
ion officials to direct the fugitiye's re-
turn direct to this state
Deputy Attorney General Kennedy
represented the state in opposition to
two of Thaw's recent attempts to bring
about his release from the Matteawan
institution through the medium of ha-
beas corpus proceedings.
Superintendent Riley of the state pris-
on department returned to Albany last
night.

sui General Foster at Ottawa" he said,

ing at the time agreed upon. Even
then his escape would have been impos-
sible had it not been for the gross negli-
gence or worse of an employe who had
been counted as one entirely worthy of
the confidence of the superintendent"
The statement then recites the cir
cumstances of Judge Tompkins, prior to
Superintendent Kieb's appointment. hav-
ing granted an order permitting persons
to confer with Thaw in private and con-
tinues:
Notwithstanding the fact that the
of Matteawan is 6l7, there are
in the institution to-day s57 insane Grim
inals. The corridors of the institution
are converted into dormitories and the
crowded conditions make the manage
ment very difficult indeed.
"Thaw's being in the yard for exer-
else was perfectly proper. He escaped
because a single employe out of 1S3
failed to perform his duty. The dis
cipline in the several state prisons was
never better in the history of the state.'
Acting Governor Glynn received re.

cell in the place, permitted to smoke
and allowed to send out for his sup
per.
Keepers at the jail were delighted to
find that Thaw speaks French. Because
of this and of the quiet and orderly man
ner in which he has conducted himself,
Thaw speedily became favorite with
the keepers.
A report which lacked verltieatlon was
to the effect that Thaw had decided to
retain Charles White, local lawyer
with wide reputation in the province,
to defend him. 1t was also said that DR..
Thos. j. w. Bugress, superintendent OF
the Protestant hospital for the insane
at verdun, p. O., had been selected by
Thaw as chief medical adviser in the
fight against being sent back to the
United States.
The reward for Thaw's arrest belongs
to Sheriff b. H. Kelsey of Colebrook
N. H., who recognized Thaw on Maine
Central railroad train Monday night and
after the fugitive had left the train at
Hereford pursued him to st. Hermeni-
glide de Garford, where at the request
of the sheriff Canadian constable
placed the fugitive under arrest.

Marshal John Young stood guard to-day

There is little doubt that the men who
left the automobile with John Rankin

helped him to escape from Matteawan.
