 TOWARD BRITAIN
 IS COMPLICATING

WASHINGTON. Aug 16-More friction between Great Britain and Mexico appeared today to compli cate the Mexican situation.
 Britain's last remaining diplo- matic representative in the Mexi- can capitol-Wm. Cummings, in charge of the .archieves of the le- gation there has been ordered from the country by mandate of Carranza.
 The action amounts to the British representative practical deporta- tion.
 Great Britain never having rec ognized the Carranza regime, has had no minister in Mexico City since Sir Lionel Garden.
 The charge daffafrs. Thomas Hohler was withdrawn some time ago as a medium of communication for his government. although with out official authority.
 Tn a strict sense. Cummings had no diplomatic standing. although he has delivered communications from the British government protesting against mistreatment of British subjects and interests.
 Now, wholly without represents tives in Mexico City, England prob ably will rely on France or the United States to represent her
 At the same time. dispatches tell ing of Carranza's decision to inform the Mexican congress at it's opening September first fully as to the state of the relations with the gov ernments of the United States and England" were received here and attracted considerable attention

BUDAPEST, Aug. 16.-(By the Associated Press)-PauI Garami, the socialist leader and other so- eialists announced today they would refuse to enter the new gov ernment of Stephen Friedrich un- less Archduke Joseph abandoned the regency.
 Archduke Joseph's position was stated by Premier Friedrich on an- nouncing the names of Martin Lovassy and other members of the new government as follows:
 "Archduke Joseph makes no promises now, as his withdrawal would lead to civil war"
 The new ministers expect to hold on until a parliament is elected, leaving the ministries of commerce, welfare, and food open for the so- cialists whenever they are willing to come in, although naming tenn porary occupants for these posts.
 Count Julius Andresssy, foreign minister in the recent Lovessy cabinet, has expressed himself in favor of recalling the old parIia- nnent immediately instead of trying to hold elections. The new min isiers will swear to serve as long as there is no constitutional gov ernment and also to recognize Archduke Joseph as royal prince regent until then.

 NEW YORK. Aug. 16.-A strike which union leaders declared would completely tie up the vast subway and elevated system of the Ifterborough Rapid Transit company in Manhattan, the Bronx, the parts of Brooklyn and Queens at o'clock tomorrow morning. was called tonight by P. J. Connolly acting president of the Brotherhood of Interborough Rapid Transit company employees.
 Corporation Counsel Burr and attor- neys of the Interhorough tonight were seeking a supreme court justice who would sign an order enjoining. union officials from making the strike order effective, but even if such an order were obtained. it was admitted, there was little hope of blocking the walkout
 Frank Hedley. general manager of the Interborough, said every effort would be made to give service. but add ed that the best possible service would be"very slim" as fully 95 per cent of the company's employees. are members of the union.
 This would leave about TOO men loyal to the company. which number. MT. Hedley said would not be augmented by strikebreakers.
 Mayor Hylan has ordered Police Commissioner Enright to furnish the company with full protection in it's eff forts to run trains and Corporation Counsel Burr in a statement declared that trains would be run If it takes the entire police force of New York and the military and naval forces of the state to do it"
 Employees of Manhattan surface cars, which are under receiverslaip have made no demands, according to Job B. Hedges, federal receiver and are ex- pected to continue at work.
 That portion of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company subway and elevated system, running into Manhattan, also uses Interborough power. and probably will be crippled. if not tied up as re- suit of the strike.
 The injunction suit by which it is hoped to end the strike. or to make it less effective, will allege that the brotherhood violated a contract calling for arbitration of all differences.
 In addition to an automobile service being organized by Mayor Hylan. the public service commission announced it had obtained promises from the New York Central, Long Island and New York. New Haven and Hartford rail- roads as well as several steamhoa4 lines that extra service would be fur nished.
