 Theories Held Out.
 With Huerta's family andD several friends in flight today from MexicJ City, the resignation of the dictato| was expected to take place at an ! time by the state department and members of the diplomatic corps fl Washington. Dispatches from Mex. leo City stated that Huerta, and hiI minister of war, General BIanoueI might follow their families from tn capital to Vera Cruz some time to| day. In some quarters, however. th ! view was expressed that Huerta nniRf,I hold out longer, and that the depary ture of his relatives only meant tha| he was preparing to make a final de. perate stand against the advancin constitutionalists commanding nd troops in person.
 Nevertheless diplomats in WashI ington directed their efforts at ayerty ing fighting in the federal capital an arranging some means of transferrinI tn hA out further loss of life.
 Rebels to Press Campaign.
 Carranza's forces continued prep arations to press their campair against Mexico City. Villas arrnxN gathered in Chihuahua, was ready foI the movement southward while GenX eral Obregon's forces, flushed witt their recent victory at GuadaIa soon would be in shape, it was ss to resume their campaign. That th constitutionalists would be in MexicX City within a few weeks regarded of the action of the Huerta goverrI ment, was the belief expressed b} some officials today.
 No word of the movements or in tentions of General Huerta was col. tained in the early official dis patches today. The only ofacis communication from Mexico City wal a message from the Brazilian leRstio1 there, the contents of which had evidently been censored until ncthin1 but mere list of routine formal an nouncements was made.

 No Knowledge of Train.
 Vera Cruz, Mex, July 15.--Mexf can federal officers at the railway ea( today denied any knowledge of th| special train reported to have left th| capital during the night conveytn| the family and relatives of Generc Huerta to Vera Cruz. PassenRer who arrived today, however, said thu such a train was standing in the yard at Mexico City when they left yester day morning. It was also reporte/ that an escort of over 1000 picke1 Mexican federal troops had accom- panied the train.
 It is thought possible here that th special train may be held at Cordob| to await the arrival of General Huerf and General Blanquet. but that tn members of the Huerta family ma arrive at the gap in time for the af ternoon train to Vera Cruz.
