FRENCH ELECTION
 RETURNS RECEIVED
Andre Tardieu Is One Of Those
 Who Secures Election

Paris, Nov. 17, (Havas. )-Results of the elections thus far known show that among the winning candidates are Andre Lefevre, former minister of finance; Aristide Briand, former premier; M. Abel, governor-genera1 Of Algeria; Captain Andre Tardeu, minister of blockade and invaded re- Slons: Albert Favre, under-secretary for the interior; Emanuel Brusse, Prince Murat, Alexander Blanc and Leon Abrami.
 Among those known to have been defeated are Victor Dalbiez, Anatole de Monzie, Pierre Renaudel, Pierre Brizon, Henry Franklin Bouillon, M. Lebez and M. Renoult.
 Louis Lafferre minister of instruc- ton, was also among those whose terms expire and who were defeated, as were M. COliard, minister of la Dor; Victor Auga gneur, former minis ter of the navy; and Gen. Charles Lu- taud. former governor of Algeria.
 Complete returns from 206 cOnstit- uencies show the conservatives, na- tionalists and moderates received 191 seats and the extremists 5 seats, the m oderates gaining 46 and the eXtrem- ists losing 16.
 Gen. l.. De Mauds Huy. military governor of Metz was elected but Gen. Sarrail and Gen. Pierre Roques went down to defeat.
 Paul Meunier, the radical republi- can deputy, who was recently arrest ed, charged with having had intelll- gence with the enemy, received only 25OO votes in the Aube constituency, being distanced by the other lists. Paul Painleve a former government minister also was defeated. The socialists have served notice that they will contest the result in the second Paris district. The French law holds that names Of candidates shall not be followed by any phrase injurious to opposing candidates. Aft CT the name of Col. Baudier, the na- tionalist candidate, there appeared on the lists the words:
 The denunciatOr of Malvy.'
 The socialists hold that this was in- furious to Col. Baudier's opponents and comes within the ban of the law They will demand that Baudier's election be annulled.
 Baron de Rotschild was elected in the Pyrenees.

NOT AFTER MUNITIONS.
Mexican Foreign Minister Said to Be
 Abroad On Another Brand.

Mexico City, Nov 16-Gen. Candido Aguilar, Mexican foreign minister, ac- cording to a statement made last night by Juan Barragan, chief of President Carranza's s staff, was not sent to Europe by the Mexican gov ernment to negotiate new contra cts for munitions The statement says his errand was to- arrange with factories in Belgium and Spain either for ship ment of arms and ammunition or the return of money paid as initial pay ments on contracts entered in during the Diaz and FIuerta regimes.
 The old contracts, the statem ent adds, called for arms and munitions, now greatly advanced in price, and the Mexican government, it says, merely wished to come to an under standing regarding the fulfllment or non -fulfillment of these old agree ments.
