NOT QUIT MEXICO
Wife Says He Has No Intention
of Leaving and That Coun-
try Is Quiet

San Antonio, Tex, Oct. 25.-General
Venustiano Carranza has no intention
of quitting Mexico City and his wife
expects to join him there next month,
she said last night on her arrival from
Mexico City via Laredo. Asked con-
corning reports that General Carranza
might abdlcate his position as first
chief of the Mexican constitutionalists,
Mrs. CarranZa shook her head and
said she had nothing to say on that
subject. Il am not at liberty to say
anything on that score she declared.
General Carranza has no intention
of going to Queretaro. He is in Mex
leo City and will remain there
A peaceful mission, the matter of
trousseau, brought Mrs. Carranza TO
the United States, according to her
statement. Her niece is to be mar
ried in Nuevo Laredo on November 8.
Fifteen minutes after Mrs. Carranza
reached San Antonio she was seated
in a motion picture theater and spent
nearly two hours there. Afterward she
talked freely about conditions in her
native land.
Il have noticed that the papers in
the United States tell of fearful con-
ditions and unrest in Mexico City"
she said. "Tney 40 not tell the truth.
Mexico is quiet and peaceful at pres
ent. Business is going on smoothly
and easily and there is no cause what
ever for alarm or anxiety"

Oil Interests Plan
Aid For $IOO,OOO,OOO
Loan to Mexicans

Washington, Oct. 25. - Large hold
ers of oil interests in New York,
friendly to the Administration, ac-
cording to reports coming here, have
assured the Mexican commissioners
that assistance will be given the de
facto government to raise the proposed
500, 900, 900 loan.
This information emenated from
Administration circles and the report
carried the name of an extensive Mex
lean property owner of New York who
is supporting President Wilson. This
financier frequently is called into con-
sultation by the President.
The spreading of the rumor is be-
lieved in diplomatic circles to be part
of scheme to keep the lid on Mexi-
co until after November Z. In other
circles, however credence is given to
the story that the Administration will
seriously aid Mexico to raise the loan.
