p SUCCEED HIM.

Laredo, Tex, July 30.-Venusttia-

coeded by Gen. Pablo Gonzales, &C

Mexican administrative circles in
Neuvo Laredo tonight.

as a presidential candidate at the
forthcoming general elections, IL was
said to-day, apparently confirming
recent unofficial advices from Mex
leo City. which intimated that the
first chief would seek elevation TO the
presidency at the hands of the vot-
ers.
The conference of Mexican Gener-
ais with Carranza soon TO be held
in Mexico City, according to these
advices, will arrange for the call for
general elections and for the re-
tirement of the first chief. This con-
ference was said to have been sum-
moned TO prevent possible friction
in military circles over the propos-
ed transfer of power.
Officers Go To Capital.
While no date has been set for
the conference, several high officers
of the de facto government military
forces have left the border within
the last few days with the announc-
ed intention of proceeding to Mexico
City to confer with Gen. Carranza
and it is believed in Neuvo Laredo
that the accession of Gonzales to the
administrative power will not be de-
layed long.

Among the several American diplo-
matists who have been made conspic-
uous since the beginning of the Euro
pean war James Watson Gerard has
beyond comparison held the most try
Ing position. 1t has been asserted with
some degree of reason for many years
that in these days of instantaneous
communication foreign representatives
of the state department at Washing
ton are superfuous and that all COM
munications and negotiations could
better be carried ON direct between
that department and any of the foreign
offices. 1t is patent now that in this
crisis of affairs. in which the United
States is so intimately concerned, this
would be impossible. Ambassador
Gerard has many times been given
and has conducted further conferences
on some of the most delicate ques-
tions, according to his appreciation Of
conditions at the court where he Is the
American representative, consulting
his own judgment, and with knowl
edge Of those conditions which could
hardly be gained at Washington.
The ambassador was born In Gene
SEQ, N. Y, in 1867 and is one of the
most youthful diplomatists who ever
served the United States In times Of
critical international controversy at q
foreign court. He is we'll equipped
lawyer and resigned as a justice Of the
supreme court Of New York to take
the foreign post which he is so ably
filling.
While Mr. Gerard has been one Of
the most welcomed figures in social
and club life. he has been pre-eminent-
ly democratic in the broad meaning of
the word. Aside from his official ac-
tiyities Mr.. Gerard has held many hon.
orary appointments, one of which was
that of commissioner to Mexico at the
time Of the celebration of the one hun
dredth anniversary of the declaration
of Mexican independence.
