GUTIERREZ TO ASK

Villa Explains Methods at
Monterey.

Continued quiet in Mexico City was
reported in Official dispatches today.
1t was said progress was being made
in restoring railroad communication

NIT a formal request to President Will
son for recognition Of the Gutierrez
government.
Argument for Recognition.
vasconcelos said to recognize his
chief, duly chosen provisional presi-
dent by the convention at Aguascali-
entes, would not be recognition of
a government established by usurpa-
ton and force, such as those of Car
rama and Villa"
Enrique c. Llorente, Villas repre-
sentative, notified the State Depart
ment that the work of restoring rail-
| road communication between Mexico
City and the American border was
progressing rapidly and probably
would be completed in a week.

To explain what he meant, Maggie then
