MADERO RELATIVES
WILL NOT RESIST
NEW GOVERNMENT
Family Gathered in New
York Appears to Have
No Intention of Start
ing Rebellion

New York, March 7.--If the immediate
surviving relatives of Francisco I. Ma
dero, the deposed president of Mexico,
who was slain a few weeks ago, have any
intention of resisting the Diaz-Huerta
regime now in power. it did not appear
from the statements or demeanor Of his
father his uncle and two officials under
the former Madero administration, who
arrived from Havana on the Ward line
steamer Mexico today.
Those in the party were Francisco Ma
dero. Sr., Ernesto Madero, the dead
mans uncle, who was MS minister of
finance Rafael Hernandez, who was a
cousin of the ex-president. and held the
office of secretary of the interior, and
FREDERICK Gonzales Cara, who was gov
ernor of the federal district of Mexico
City. Accompanying Ernesto Madero was
his wife and family, but tho widow OF the
late president remains in Havana. She
was detained by the death of relative,
It is understood. but intends eventually
to come to the United States. She and
the arrivals here today fled to Havana
from Mexico City by way Of Vera Cruz
after ex-President Madero and ex-Vice
Pres ident Jose Pine Suarez were shot to
death.
Joined by Averfsto
Averisto Madero. another brother of the
former president, who has been a student
at Cornell university and had been await
ing the coming of his father and the
others, Joined than at quarantine. The
Maderos exhibited delight when Informed
that two more of the brothers, Raoul and
Emilio. had reached Texas after a 600 mile
ride through northern Mexico. but neither
they, Hernandez nor Garza would admit
that there was TO be any gathering or
conference of the survivors of the family
In San Antonio or elsewhere.
On the contrary, Francisco Madero, Sr.
and Hernandez said all the party would
rem ain here indefinitely. 1t is thought
that they have business interests which
will require their attention. They were
quite reticent about the overthrow OF
President Madero and beyond comment
ing on it's sad character would say little.
When Francisco Madero, Sr., was asked
by newspaper man as to reports that
Ambassador Wilson at Mexico City used
his influence against President Madero
during the uprising he simply nodded his
head. as If in affirmation, but would say
nothing.

him were liberated. and that Huerta per-
