Necessary, He Says, for the
Success of the Repub-
licans
WILL INSIST UPON A
SPECIAL CONVENTION
Will Be Called Unofficially,
if Not Off
cially

Washington, Sept l3.-Unless steps
are soon taken by the Republican ma
tional committee to call a Republican
national convention, movement for
| such convention will be initiated in
dependtly. This was the statement
yesterday of some of the leading pro-
gressiye Republicans in Congress. They
are anxious for some definite steps 10
be taken toward Republican reorganiza-
tion and are impatient at the delay Of
the national committee.
Senators Cummins and Jones are ex-
pected to have conference to-day or
Monday with National Chairman Hilles
of the committee for the purpose of
urging him at once TO take steps to
call the committee together and con-
slider the calling of a national conven-
ton. Owing to the illness of Senator
Jones, the conference has been temporar
lily given up.
Instead, Senators Cunnnins and Jones
will address letter to Mr.. Hilles, set
ting forth the reasons why they and va
rious progressive Republicans are anx-
ious to have the committee and a con-
vention called this fall. Senator Cum
Minis will leave here by way of White
Sulphur Springs for Iowa to-day He
will return soon after Oct. and then
win see Chairman Hilles either in New
York or here. Mr.. Hilles, however, is
expected to VISA Washington soon and
then will doubtless talk with Republ-
can leaders about the situation.
Senator Cummins yesterday expressed
the belief that the national convention
would meet and convention call result
from it. He said if it did not, so far
as he was personally concerned, he would
do everything in his power to have
great national meeting of Republicans
unofficially brought together in order to
force such reforms within the party as
the progressive Republicans insist on.
"To me- said Senator Cummins, sit
seems inevitable that reforms of the pro
gressiye Republicans must be made in
order that the party may get in shape
for the campaigns of 1914 and 1916
have no doubt that one way or an
other they will be made The progress.
sive Republicans are insisting that
southern Republicans in national con-
ventions be cut down and based on the
vote cast, and that state primary laws
as to selection OF delegates to presiden-
tial conventions be respected.

DRIFTING AT
MEXICO CITY
In the Meanwhile America
Is Awaiting the
Outcome
ELECTIONS MUST
BE BONA FIDE
Otherwise the Result Will
Not Be Ac-
copied

Washington, Sept. Sept l3.-Admin-
istration officials here are convinced that
Mexico City authorities have no effec-
tive plan of their own to bring about
peace in Mexico and that the situation
There is drifting. This government will
await with interest the election sched-
llled for Oct. 26, but does not feel bound
to recognize the government resulting
from that election. Should an election
be attempted while most of the country
is still up in arms and in which ma
ioritv of the people shall have no voice,
the American government will adhere to
previous presidents and withhold reeog-
milton. These are the views expressed
by officials in administration circles who
know the position of President Will
son.
Senior Manuel de Zamacona supposed
to be the personal representative of
President Hnerta, left Washington yes
terday, after days visit, without seek
ing any interviews with government Off
cials. Charge Algeria of the Mexican EN-
bassy conferred with Secretary Bryan
but shed no light on the Zamaeona mis-
sion The attitude of the United States
toward Zamaeona has been made plain
to the Mexican offieials--he will be re-
ceived only if he comes to treat on
new basis and ON the assumption that
the proposals made by John Lind have
been finally settled namely, that the
request for recognition be withdrawn
and Huerta eliminated from the presi-
Dental contest.
These points, the American govern
ernment considers essential and sees no
necessity for further negotiation unless
they are agreed to. While the situa-
ton in Mexico City is described by adj
ministration officials as one of quick
sand, Mr.. Lind Is to remain in Mexico
indefinitely, using his own discretion as
to when it is best for him to return.
President Wilson has gone to Cornish
n H., to spend the weekend with his
family at the summer White House and
during his absence no further develop
ments are expected. The administration
will await with interest, however, the
message to be delivered by Provisional
President Huerta next Tuesday to the
Mexican Congress.

Yesterday.

Washington, Sept. l3.--Although the
question, What is whiskeyg" worried
the experts through three administra-
