Washington. Sept. 26.-Definite in
structions were sent by Secretary OF
War Garrison TO General Funston. in
command of the American forces at
Vera Cruz. not to make any prepare
tons to leave the Mexican port for at
least ten days. The government here
has decided not to take any steps
toward the evacuation of Vera Cruz
for this period. as 1t Is thought that
ii will take at least that long for au-
tlscntic information concerning the
villa revolt TO reach Washington.
Secretary Garrison explained that
no indications of the extent or gravity
OF the new revolution has reached
here and that IL is impossible TO make
any plans concerning the latest devel-
opment in the Mexican situation until
such news is received.

PRESIDENT WILSON DEFlED
BY TURKISH AMBASSADOR
A. Rusten1 Bey Refuses TO Retraet In
tervlews and Says He Will Leave
United States Soon.

Washington. Sept 25.-That A. Rus
TEN Bey. Turkish ambassador to the
United States. has asked his govern
ment for a leave Of absence was Off
cially stated at the White House.
The envoy has sent word to the
White House to this effect Further
comment by administration officials is
declined.
II is understood that Rustem Bey
told the president frankly in his letter
that he still supported the position he
took in several interviews. but that
in view of having incurred the dis
pleasure OF the United States ne thinks
il best to leave his post.
The interviews to which the Turkish
ambassador referred was contained in
statement given to the press on Sep
TENDER /. in which A. Rustem Bey
protected the name Of his native coun-
try. In part he had said:
That there have been massacres in
Turkey | cannot, unfortunately, deny,
but the Armenians and Maronites, who
were the victims. suffered at the hands
Of the Moslems not as Christians but
as political agitatoe."
After referring to the Pogroms OF
Russia, the smoking to death OF Al
gerians by France and severe meas
ures adopted in England to punish In
dian mutineers. the diplomat has the
following to say about the United
States:
And since large number OF Amer
lean papers are siding with Great Brit
ain and France In this affair. will
permit myself TO say that the thought
OF the lynchings which occurred daily
in the United States and the memory
OF the water cures in the Philippines
should make them chary Of attacking
Turkey in accordance with acts OF
savagery committed by her under
provocation compared with which the
economic competition of an Italian or
the sniping OF a Filipino, or even the
outrage of a negro. are as nothing"
The Turkish diplomat charged that
England was maneuvering through
diplomacy to get the United States
embroiled in the European fray on the
side OF the allies.
Later A. Rustem Bey gave other In
terviews to the press, commenting
upon subjects OF United States domes-
tic concern. and these were the cause
of intense annoyance on the part OF
President Wilson.
Through the state department A.
Rustem Bey was courteously asked to
discontinue his comments.

MACHINE States
WIN IN new YORK
GIynn, Democrat, and Whitman.
Republican, Nominated.
Davenport and Suzer Run Neck ana
Neck on Progressive Ticket, Tam
many Candidates Successful.

New York, Sept. 29.-So-called vor-
ganization" candidates APPARENTLY
swept the boards in the statewide
primary yesterday for every nomina-
ton except United States senator on
the Republican ticket.
With practically all of the New
York city vote and seventh Of the
upstate vote in early this morning, II
seemed certain that Governor Martin
II. Glynn was the Democratic guber-
material nominee and District Attor-
ney Charles s. Whitman, the Repub-
lican.
Former Governor William Suizer
and former State Senator FRED
Davenport were running close to-
gether for the Progressive guberna-
torial nomination and both claiming
the victory.
James W. Gerard, ambassador to
Germany, led Franklin ID. Roosevelt
by wide margin for the Democratic
nomination for United States senator
while James S. McDonough was third.
The Republican senatorial nomina-
ton was somewhat in doubt. William
NJ. Calder piled up a big lead, but
late returns from upstate showed
James w. Wadsworth, Jr., was gain
ing rapidly. cambridge Colby won
an uncontested victory for the Pro
gressive senatorial nomination.
John A. Hennessy, who headed the
anti-Tammany ticket against Cover
nor Glynn, was gaining in late re-
turns from upstate, but his friend
admitted that ne had no chance OF
victory.
Returns on the congressional con-
tests we're very incomplete, but those
received indicated that most OF the
present New York members of both
pa rites were renominated.
The Tammany candidates for the
Assembly in New York city appeared
to have won. These included Alfred
f. Smith. the TammsDy leader IN the
Assembly.
The organization candidates foi
the State Senate, both Democratic
and Republican, appeared to have
won also, with few exceptions.

Be Decisive.

London, Sept. 2S.-The Germans
have steadily met assault with
conference.-the until the trenches of
the opposing armies in France are
only sprinting distance apart. AL
ready there has been some work with
the steel in hand-to-hand conflicts,
but except at a single point where
they forced a passage across the
Mouse, the Germans, half of whose
army is kept busy on the Russian
frontier, had up to last night found it
impossible to break through the hui
man barrier stretching across
France.
Word from the front describes the
encounters. On one occasion the
French and British held positions
within a quarter Of a mile from the
German front, where they were not
in danger from the heavy German
artillery and were sheltered from
the machine guns unless they came
into the open.
French and British on the left wing
have repulsed for days the attacks
of the Germans who have been
endeavoring 10 take the allies posi-
tions by assault.
The British, however, did not by
any means bear the whole brunt of
the fighting, for the French troops,
including a division of the famous
colonial infantry and the Turcos as
well as many battalions of French
regulars and others composed Of
territorial troops, also faced success

delivered with great ficrceness.
