CARRANZA MAY PLAN FLIGHT.
Report in Washington That He is to
Leave Mexico City.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 25.-Charges
that General Carranza is preparing to
leave Mexico are being freely made by
his political opponents in Mexico City.
They are based upon his decision to leave
his capital for Queretaro, and the fact
that Mrs. Carranza already has crossed
the border into the United States, ac-
companied by the wife of her husbands s
war minister and chief supporter, Cen
Obregon.
Information to this effect is reaching
officials here from various reliable
sources. So far nothing tangible tend
ing to support the story las come
through official chanels. 1t is known,
however, that many officials here be-
lieve General Carranza has committed
political blunder at least, if he is not in
fact preparing for fight, by permitting
his family to leave Mexico just at this
time. The trip, they say, was certain to
be construed by his enemies as con-
fession of weakness.
