Washington, Aug. 10,—Administra- tion leaders in congress have ceased to think about adjournment. Although some of them believe the regular busi- ness of the session can be completed soon after September 1, they fear pos- sible emergencies through the war in Europe will make it imperative that congress remain in Washington.

AWAITING OFFICIAL RETURNS Kansas and Missouri Contests Stiil in Doubt. Clayton anti-trust semate Topeka, Aug. 8.—Kansas has set- tled down to wait for the official re- turns on the Democratic contests for the nominations for state offices, with the possible exceptions of secretary of state and attorney general. Burt Brown of Lawrence is claiming the secretarial nomination aver J. W. Schlicher of Hoxie by 8 to 1. Sam B. Little of Olathe are locking horns for attorney general. The senatorial returns in both par- ties are increasing the leads of Charles Curtis for the Republican and George Neeley for the Democratic nomination. The latest réiurns give Curtis a lead over Bristow of 3,259, with the returns from the small west\ ern counties cutting this down a few at a time. Curtis probably will get by with at.least 3,000 plurality. In the Democratic contest Neeley has a lead over Hugh Farrelly, with 89 counties all in, of 2,348. His lead is growing as the late returns come in. % Jefferson City, Aug. 10.—Official re- turns of the Missouri state primary held on August 2 are being sent in to Secretary of State Roach from the various counties, but it will be the lat- ter part of the week before the last county is in.

Mexico City, Aug. 11.—The transfer of the federal power in Mexico from Provisional President Carbajal to the Constitutionalists will be made peace- fully within the next sixty hours, it is believed here. Provisional” President Carbajal, it is said, will issue a procla- mation to the inhabitants of the fed- eral capital giving details of the gov- ernment’s plan for the transfer, The plan includes the transfer of power from Francisco Carbajal to Eduardo Iturbide, governor of the fed- eral district, Cariajal will go to Vera Cruz and Governor Iturbide will turn over the government to General Obre- gon, now in Tula with 25,000 men, A two hours’ cabinet council was ; held, and, while nothing regarding the | discussion was made public, it is be- | lieved details of the transfer of gov- j}ernment was the chief theme, | Public Waits in Vain. | The public waited vainly all day for | the declaration promised by President Carbajal. Both houses of congress met in the afternoon, In the lower house the speaker addressed the.members, He id it had come to his notice unot- ficially that President Carbajal had de- cided to abandon his post and trans- fer power tempora to the governor of the federal district, who would hold the post of executive until the Consti- tutionalist army was able to enter the capital. The speaker said in his opin- ion congress should dissolve, and he called for a motion to that effect. Several deputies objected to this pro- cedure, maintaining that the President should appear personally before con- gress, declare his intention and resign. The ensuing debate brought about a compromise in which it -was decided to appoint a committee to call on the President and learn his intentions. The committee members were in- formed that the President had no in- tention of resigning at this time and that congress should adjourn tempor- arily, as important advices from the Constitutionalists were expected which might bring a solution of the situa- tion without the evacuation of the city. Velasco Defiant. Although Secretary of War Velasco announced that the Federals would evacuate the capital, he said, “We will fight until the last man dies be- fore we will evacuate tinconditional. ly.” It is stated unofficially that this new attitude of the government was due to a telegram from President Carba- jal's representative in Washington. What the dispatch contained could not be learned. WOULD AID EXPORT TRADE National Council Meets in New York to Devise Measures and Means to Relieve Congestion.
