.CARRANZA OUT, GEN, VILLAREAL
 TO RULE MEXICO
Military Convention Accepts Chiefs Resignation and
 Names Successor.

Washington, Oct 15.-The resigna.- ton of Gen. Venustiano Carranza as First Chief of the Constitutionalists in charge of the executive power in Mex ico City was presented to the conven- tion at Aguas Ca,Hentes, Mexlcos yes- terday afternoon, according to arv1ces received in Washington, and was a,c- cepted.
 Gen. Antonio I. villarea1, the Pres ident of the convention, who is Car State of Nueva Leon, was nominated for Provisional President. Advices re- cetved in Washington last night indt- cated that Gen. Villarea1 probably would be the conventions choice for Provisional President. He is one of the two Villa candidates, is under stood to be satisfactory to the Car ranza Generals and recently was sent on a mission by Carranza to nego- date with Zapatas who Is represented as having taken a liking to V11Iarea1.
 The first news of the resignation of Gen. Carranza came in the following telegram. from Gen: Villas headquar- ters> at Juarez to his representative in Washington:
 The resignation of Gen. Carranza l as Provisional President of Mexico was presented to the Aguascali entes l Convention at 8 o'clock yesterday af- l ter1noon and was promptly accepted
 
 larea1. President of the Convention, was nominated to the Provist onaI | Presidency, and at the hour of filing | this message no serious opposition had l developed against him.
 At the morning session the conven- 1 ton abandoned the plan for com mission form of government for Mex ] ico until such time as an election to 1 fill the unexpired Diaz term could be held. When this decision was reached | it became obvious that one of the two I Villa, candidates, Vi1lareaI or Ca1deron l would be nominated as soon as the resignation of Carranzaswas placed be- fore the convention. ~i
 l The nomination of Vi1Iareal and his l certain election to the Provisional l Presid dency1 is a, complete victory for Villa and his supporters. ViIlareaI is is man of exceptional ability, and his election to the Presidency will have | the effect of setting aside the. persona differences between leaders in Mexi- can affairs which have kept the re- public in a ferment since the over 1 throw of Diaz, and is Sbelieved tc mark the beginning of an era of peace l and prosp erity in Mexico
 I While the Villa forces are describ- | ing Vil1areaI as t'0ne of the two Villa | candidates, it is asserted here in otf- 1 CT Mexican circles that VfIlareaI has very strong support from the Car ranza element in the convention. He has been a Carranza rather than a Will la General in the Division of the Northeast, commanded by Gen. Pablo Gonzales, and is at the present time Governor of Nuevo Leon by appoint ment of Gen Carranza
 The statement that Gen. Carranzs was prepared to submit his resfgna ton to the convention was expected in all circles in Washington connected with Mexican matters. In these circle. it had been declared that the conven ton would name it's Provisional Pres ident from a list of three Fernand, Iglesias Calderon, Gen Antonio T. vii lareal, and Eduardo Hay. Calderon who is leader of the Liberal party il Mexico, was Villas first choice fo Provisional President CaIderon wa unwilling to accept the office unIes every element in Mexico favored him
