Take Last Place Among
Embassies
It looks as If the Mexican
ambassador, Manuel o.
Teller, viii be the next dean
of the Diplomatic Corps in
Washington.
There was the report that
he would be a candidate for
the presidency Of Mexico.
But inasmuch as elections
take place there tomorrow,
It is mot probable that he
will fill this role for several
years.
For unless a revolution up
sets the constitution, who
ever is elected tomorrow
will hold this office for six
years according to q recent
constitutional amendment.

the deanship. And Europe
would continue to head the
