and that therefore we feel that NC
must reject these returns. Now then,
gentlemen. what is the situation, f
you determine that the committee
were correct thus far? 1t is the pr:
mary purpose and object and duty If
this Senate to declare. if it is possible
to ascertain il. the correct number "f
votes that were cast in this county
for these parties.
Now then. it appeared to the cor
nittcc that it developed upon them PEI
hapS to endeavor to ascertain what the
correct vote might be in that ward for
either of the parties. that they might
add it to the totals which they had ar
rived at. l take il to be a we'll recos-
nzed principle of law that the matter
OF proof of the correct number of votes
there cast is justiiable and correct and
that the committee would be author
lied in receiving evidence and in thus
trying to determine what the cor-ec.
number Of votes there cast was. AMI
this situation confronted the committee.
Now. senators. there are in the sec
rotary of States Office returns from
Ward in Auburn, a pile of ballots i55
in number. and Your committee has
gone over that pile of ballots in an
effort to discover if possible for whom
the correct number of ballots were
thrown of those who that day voted
in that warJ. 1t seemed the duty 81
the committee. after having asccrtainc |
and satisfied themselves that there were
at least 60 ballots in that lot that might

to determine If possible the relation OF
the remaining ballots for the candi-
dates. Now the first and obvious thing
that met the committee was this, and
let me impress upon you senator's that
so far as the committee are able to de-
tcrmine there are no distinguishing
marks upon these ballots whereby any

MEXICAN PROBLEM
IS DISCUSSED At
CABINET MEETING

tsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEiSEp wlREl
Washington, Nov. 1S.-The whole
Mexican situation, including the ar
rest of William o. Jenkins, tnre". ~
cnnsuler agent ~ pre}ia. spf oil last
islation, was discussed today by Pres
ident Wilson's cabinet. but if any de-
cision was reached it was not made
known.
Secretary Lansing, who presided, re-
fused to say what took pace. but
Secretary Glass said the government
apparently was unable to find out
anything" about the Jenkins case.
Some time after the cabinet adj
journed, the state department an
nounced that the acting minister of
foreign affairs had informed the Am
erican embassy at Mexico City that
the state authorities at Puebla had
been instructed not to molest Jenkins,
who previously had reported that he
was being restricted to his home by
the state officials.
The foreign minister's action fol-
lowed delivery of protest from the
state department. sent after Jenkins
was arrested, but Just what it would
amount to was not made clear. Jen-
kins is awaiting trial on charges of
collusion with the bandits who kid
mapped and held him for $150,000
ransom. Meantime the state depart
ment is awaiting additional reports
before taking further action
