LOCAL MAN DISCUSSES
 AFFAIRS IN MEXICO
"If Huerta Had Been Recog- nized Conditions Would
 Be Different"

Carlos RittScher, representative of the American Hardware corporation ill Cuba and Mexico, has lately re- turned from that turbulent section of the world with ideas of the Mexican situation that will at least be new to residents of this section who gain their Knowledge of the state of af- fairs through the daily papers.
 MT. Rittscher's opinion of Huerta is none too high. He expressed the opinion that the present dictator was, however, in the best position to con- trol and curb the spirit of unrest in Mexico. If Huerta had been recog- nized by the United States there would not be the troubles. in that country that now exist. Huerta would have money, source of SUD- plies and arms and the prestige that goes with official recognition and would be in a position to combat the rebels with more effect. As it is, he has made his fight without recog- hilton or the consequent credit which it would bring him. With the support of the United States, in MT. Rittscher's opinion, Huerta would by this time have full power over Mexico. How
 
 what manner he would handle it Is impossible to state.
 Mr. Rittscher was asked if in his opinion the United States would have been right in recognizing Huerta. Beyond the fact that it would un- doubtedly make Huerta supreme with possible good or bad consequences he did not think that this government would be justified in recognizing him rny more than Villa. Asked if he thought the latest action of the Unfit ed States was the proper course to pursue, he replied in the affirmative. This country will have little trouble in taking the coast towns,' he stated. "The troops will probably not be hindered if they wish to go to Mex ico City, but back in the mountains will be where the fighting and loss of life will occur. The mountains pre- sent innumerable chances for ambush and wicked battles. If this country should invade and take Mexico there would be trouble again as soon as the troops turned their back, and it would be a question of many years of guerilla warfare before the counL try was finally subdued."
 In reply to a question MT. Ritt- scher stated that he did not think that the United States would ever annex Mexico as an outcome of the present troubles as it has too much regard for South America.
 Many Americans are now in Ha- vana, Cuba, the nearest port outside of the country. said Mir. Rfttscher They are resting there until some signs of peace in DTexico are ed- dent. Numbers of refugees are aso returning to this country constantly through Cuba. Business is natuIally slow through the district, said the New Britain man.

 Reeks and Dr. Crowley.
 A number of minor appointments were made today by Mayor George A. Quigley but the disposition of the big rlums has not yet been determined on. .-... ....
 Attorney M. D. Saxe was appointed to succeed George H. Dyson on the board of charity commissioners. No appointment was made to the places of Fred G. Russell or F. A. Hausmann Attorney Sake is a native of New York and has been practicing in this city for the past three years. He is one of the most prominent Hebrews in the city. It is believed that the appointment of a lawyer to the com mission will aid the work of the body in many cases where questions of law come up for discussion.
 The biggest move on the part of Mayor Quigley was in the appointing of James J. Welch to succeed him self as sealer of weights and measures. The appointment goes to the board of public safety for endorsement.
 Louis J. Muller was reappointed to membership on the cemetery commit tee.
 Mayor Quigley said he would be glad to recommend to the board of health the appointment of pr. T. Eben Reeks as superintendent of health and O. Dr. George T. Crowley to succeed himself inspector of meat. food and milk.
 It is probable that at least two meetings of the common council will be held before the first of May ac- ccrding to the new mayor.
 The first official act of Mayor Quigley was to approve of the ap- pointment of Harry Hargreaves as dc putty city clerk. The appointment was made by City Clerk Thompson and as soon as the mayor approved of the selection the city clerk swore his deputy into office.
