The introduction of a motion by F. $. Ives, chief counsel for eX-Gov- ernor Hunt, and the argument of that motion before the supreme court yesterday delayed the hearing on the application for d mandamus to cause Hunt to give up his office fixtures and appurten2nces to Governor Campbell.
 After day given over to the dis cussion of Senator Ives motion to strike out certain portions of the complaint, as not proper in a plead ing of this sort, the court took the matter under advisement The man. damus proper is tentatively set to be argued Saturday, if at that time d dec ison has been handed down on the motion to strike. MT Ives stated in court that if the motion were de- nied, his answer, filed in conformity with the stipulation in the superior court, would stand; if the motion were sustained, he would within an hour submit an amended answer.
 The morning session was inter- rupted for a time by the discussion of an article appearing in yester- days Republican, relating to the complicated and involved matter of the gubernatorial succession. The court desired that it be made known on the records that neither attorneys for the plaintiff nor defendant In this suit had had anything to do with the article.
 Judge Sloan, speaking for the ( campbell attorneys, denied that he or his associates knew anything of the article until it's appearance in print, and Senator Ives made q sim liar statement Chief Justice Frank lin then asked attorneys to secure information relative to the source of the article and to file their state ments with the clerk prior to the handing down of a decision. With this agreement, then. the arguments were resumed.
 The court room was more than comfortably filled when the justices and attorneys filed in. Among the spectators were some well known figures in official and political cir Cles. J. Lorenzo Hubbell and C. NJ Roberts, members of the first state senate, conversed in one corner: State Land Commissioner W. A. Moeur and former County Chairman Jack White sat side by side In an- other.

SHOULD WILSON APPROVE WHAT
 WOULD FOLLOW?
Republican A. p. Leased wirel


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Interest in 7he Mexican situation remained cent cred tonight on what action by Presi- dent Wilson might follow his approval or the recommendation of the American members that conferences of the Mex ican- American joint commission be brought to an end.
 pr. J. R. Mott one of the American commissioners, carried to the Mexican members in New York today a formal reply to the last communication from General Carranza in which he again had refused to ratify the protocol pro Viding for the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico. If Luis Cabrera, chairman of the Mexican group, and his colleagues desire il, a last meeting will be held merely for the expression of the formalities incident to dissolution of the commission.
 There has been no announcement Of the presidents decision as to the Amer ican commissioners suggestion that he act on his own initiative in the matter of withdrawing the troops, and that diplomatic channels be provided for dealing with questions al issue between the two governments. It appears cer- tain, however, that Henry F. Fletcher will be sent to his post in Mexico as ambassador.
 Some administration officials oppose haste in ordering Pershings men out Of Mexico on the ~round that it might give Carranza the impression that 1T was be- cause of his insistence when in reaG- ity the chief motive would be to release national guards on the border and take the regulars out of a poor strategic po- sition
 Secretary Baker conferred with the president late today and later an nounced that there was no change in the situation.
 Mir. Fletcher was without orders to- night to proceed to Mexico, but it was believed that his despatch would not long be delayed
 It was explained by administration officials that the action of the delegates to the Mexican constitutional congress now in session at Queretaro made the presence of a fully accredited diplomat ic officer of prime importance to the United States government which it sees in some of the reforms being considered by CarranZa and his adherents the basis for early endorsements. One of the reforms to be incorporated in the new constitution provides for the con- demnation of any properties the gov eTnment may desire
 Military phases of the situation were watched with greater interest today on account of the probable alteration of policy. Officially it was reported that refugees reaching the west coast yes terday had said that on January 1, the Carranza garrison evacuated Durango, which was promptly occupied by Nil- las men. It also was reported in pri- vate messages that in the latter part of December, Campeche, in the southern end of Mexico, fell into the hands of the rebels.

LAWSON CANCELS VOYAGE ID
 GIVE HIS LEAK" TESTIMONY

In accordance with a decision reached by unanimous vote of the rules committee today, the first public hear ing on the charges will open tomorrow morning. Inasmuch as Representative Gardner, one of the chief witnesses eX- peeted to appear, is in Detroit and MT Lawson will not be here, it is probable that the committee will adjourn over until Monday. Representative Wood, father of the resolution, is the only other witness the committee plans to call at this time.
 There was much speculation here tonight as to the identity of a New York banker who Mir Lawson said in his first telegram might give informa- tion about the leak and was also leav- ing for Europe. There will be further communication with Nr. Lawson on this question.
