sort in front OF which he was stand
ing If his sister was inside
The officer was attracted by the
youthful voice as young McCauley
pleaded with the man that he do him
this favor. Il am too young or 7

request was granted, but his sister, it
was learned. had moved to Norfolk
during the past week.
When the patrolman began TO ques-

CiSiOn of Conference

Washington, Nov. 10.-The ulti-
matum of the Mexican convention oF
ASuascalicntCS ordering Gen. Car
ranZa to deliver the executive power
in Mexico to Eulalio Gutierrez eXpir-
ed at o'clock tonight. Neither the
state department nor the Mexican
embassy here, in charge Of Carranza
agents, had definite advices as to what
had occurred. Early in the day Ra-
facl Zuhuran, Caranzu'.; Wa3hinSton
representative received a telegram
from Luis Cabrera, saying Carranza
had decided to recognize the acts of
the convention With certain rescrva-
tions. CarranZa, according to Ca
rcra told the commission that notified
him of the selection Of Gutierrez that
he would yield the executive power
TO Il provisional president who would
exercise no theoretical but actual
control of the division of the north,
now commanded by Gen. Villa.
The convention had formally noti-
fed CarranZa that it intended to adj
minister the oath of Office to Cutter
rez as provisional president tonight
and that any one who did not recog-
niZc him would be considered as in
revolution against the Constituted
Mexican government. If necessary
immediate hostilities will begin
against Carranzas forces TO enforce
! the conventions will.
There vas Il feeling in adminstra-
ton circles that Carranza eventually
would yield, being unwilling to plunge
Mexico into another revolution. This
was based, however, more on previous
! intimations in officials reports as to
CarranZa's desire for peace than on
any direct advices today.
