RCMCR SPREADS IN MEXICO
CITY THAT DICTATOR MAY
RETIRE FOR PRESENT.
According TO Reports. Minister OF
Justice Has Accepted Post Only
Ad Interim, With Trevino Chosen
as Ultimate Occupant of Presidency.

Mexico City, Jan. 5.-That Gen.
Huerta intends to resign the presi-
dency OF Mexico an the near future
a rumor often denied by him in the
most emphatic terms-ayain is ner-
sistently reported in the capital. 1t
is said that he will take the field in
person against the rebels after WELD
ing the presidency. Enrique Geros-
tieta, minister of justice, will be se-
lected as his successor, according to
the understanding.
Senor Gerostieta is said 10 have
been offered the portfolio of foreign
affairs, succeeding Queredo Moheno,
with the understanding that he as
sumo the presidency. He has con-
sented to the plan, it is said, only on
condition that the deputies imprisoned
by Huerta last October be freed. He
had many friends among the deputies
and never has been in sympathy with
Gen. Huerta's treatment of them.
Under the alleged plan, Senor
GerOstieta will hold the presidency for
a limited period, turning it over to
Gen. Geronimo Trevino of Monterey,
who on previous occasions has been
| talked of as possible successor to
Huerta. and to whom, it is urged,
Washington could have no objection.
Gen. Trevino was the friend and
trusted officer of Porfirio Diaz. He has
kept aloof from the political develop
ments Of the last three years
The release OF 26 deputies on New
Years day and the announcement of
the early release of virtually all the
other deputies are pointed to as fur
ther evidences Of the possible truth of
the report.
Persons close to Huerta are quoted
as saying that failure to obtain funds
in Europe is shaking the faith of the
president in his ability to cope with
the situation. 1t is said he appears
less reluctant to listen to the sue.
