 IF MEXICAN TREATY
IRepubIican A. P. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Publica- ton in Mexico City today of what purported to be the text of a treaty between the United States, Great Britain and France, signed in 1917 and dealing with certain rights claimed by those countries in Mexico, brought prompt official denial from the state department of the existence of any such pact. Officials at the department were inclined to believe the published text was that of a false treaty pre- pared during the war by Germany for propaganda purposes in Mexico. There had been, they said, previous indica- tions of the circulation of this false document.
 The statement that one clause of the alleged treaty provided for certain measures to meet possible Japanese hostility was noted particularly and characterized at the department as being as foolish as it was false.
 On the other main subject deal with in the spurious pact, continuation of the flow of oil from Mexican wells owned by nationals of three powers, it was regarded as conceivable that some sort of informal understanding might have been reached by the three governments, necessitated by the exigencies of war. It said officially however, that nothing of the kind had been reduced to writing
 It was recalled in this connection that Mexican fuel oil was essential to British naval operations during the war.
 The suggestion that a written agree ment existed was issued last month in the Mexico City press. a statement to that effect being attributed tc H1lario Medina, acting minister of foreign affairs in the Carranza cab inet. It was promptly denied by Cuth- berto Hidalgo. holding a similar pos under the present provisional govern ment and he declared Medina haC | brought about publication of a state. i ment he knew to be false for the pur- ] pose of embarrassing friendly rela. l tions between the provisional ~ov ! ernment and the United States

While the as- l sembly was discussing the proposed vote for the remaining vice. president an animated conversation proceeded at the Brazilian bench, each candidate in sisting that he be allowed to withdraw | in favor of tho other. A second ballo
