Architects have already begun 10 draw
up plans for the erection OF government
buildings in Dolores Hldalgo.
The following formal reasons for the
removal of the capital were today set
forth by member of the cabinet who
favors the change:
F.rst-Mexico City is n hotbed Of hostile
sentiment
second-An the traditions Of Mexico
City are conservative; the constitutional
government is radical and revolutionary,
and, therefore, Mexico City is no place
for the constitutionalist government.
Third-Mexico City is too far south to
be constantly and sympathetically In
touch with the north.
Fourth-1n Dolores Hidalgo originated
the Mexican revolution against Spain and
its tradition of progress still lives.

FELIX D1AZ NOT PLANNING
NEW REVOLT IN MEXICO

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-GeneraI Felix
Diaz, nephew Of the late dictator OF Nexi-
co, Don Porfirio, the young DIaz whose re-
volt against Madero set or train of
miseries and misfortunes for Mexico,

and assured a reporter as earnestly ns
seemed possible that he had not organized
new revolution. He added that he was
contemplating nothing that would annoy
or embarrass the Government OF the
United States.
There was story that came over the
telegraph wires from Washington yes
terday to the effect that agents of the
Department OF Justice had discovered a
Felix Diaz plot to overthrow Carranza,
plot that involved fillbustering, arms
smuggling and other highly unlawful acts.
The story had IL that Secretary of State
Lansing knew all about the plot and
had taken measures TO nip II.
General Diaz, after having had this
story read TO him slowly by his friend
and secretary, Plnar del vilar, who trans
lated the English into Spanish, character
lied the statements as nonsense
IL was not easy to locate General Diaz.
Although he has been in New York ex-
actly one year today, few persons other
than his immediate friends have had his
street address and telephone number. For
a time he put up at the Hotel Aberdeen,
which was a sort of headquarters for the
Diaz junta; then he dropped out of sight
But he is comfortably situated now at
2l0 West I'D street, engaged chiefly in
waiting to see what Will turn UP In
Mexico.
The General makes no secret of the
fact that he would like to be the Presi-
dent OF Mexico and that nothing would
give him greater pleasure than to be
called home by the reasonably unanimous
voice of his fellow countrymen, but he
insists that he doesn't want TO fight his
way to power, and that he would never
do anything to add to the mIsfortunes of
the Mexican people.

Is, indeed, pretty large: the first tax report
