IS CARRANzA' s.
ENDED?
Reports In Mexico City
Claim Chief Will Leave
Country.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Oct. 24-C Charges that
Carranza is preparing to leave Mexi-
CO are being freely circulated by his
political opponents in Mexico City
and similar reports are current along
the border, information to this effect
reaching officials here from reliable
sources.
The reports are based on Carran-
za's decision to leave Mexico City for
Queretaro and the facts that Mrs.
Carranza accompanied by Mrs Obre-
gon, wife of Carranza's war minis
ter, have already crossed into the
United States.
Although there is nothing tangible
tonight to support the story through
official channels, officials here be-
lieve Carranza has committed a polit-
zeal blunder if he is not preparing for
flight by letting his family leave
Mexica at this time.
The purpose of the visit of the wo-
men was given out by Mexicans as a
tour of the United States. While
word was not received here that Mrs,
Trevino, the wife of Carranza's ccm-
mander at Chihuahua, has come to
the border, an Ell Paso rumor said
that she arrived in Juarez today.
Many war department officials
have privately expressed their opin-
ion that the defacto government, or
at least, Carranza's personal control
of the political situation is growing
steadily weaker.
