1t will be weeks before the returns

than that Huerta has been elected. il
is considered a certainty that the
July 5 elections, like those of Octo-

cause of the small number of votes
and that Huerta will again be desig
mated by the Mexican Congress as
provisional president" The Mexi-
can Constitution provides for an cleo

as the Federals control only a small
part of the republic the elections are
purely perfunctory and cannot be
legal.
Moreover in the elections controll-
