VOL._LV—NO. 1 " The Bulletin’s Girculation In Norwich i Deuble That of Any Other P AN ULTIMATUM TO UNITED STATES President Huerta Names a Time Limit in Which This Country Shall Recognize Mexico ~MAY SEVER RELATIONS BETWEEN CO'UNTRIES President Wilson's Mediation Proposition Curtly Rejected and United States Warned That He Will Tolerate No Inter- ference—President Wilson to Make Public Today the Communication Delivered to Huerta by Mr. Lind Mexico City, Aug. 18.—The United States government has been given un- til midnight tonight by President Huerta to recognize Mexico, it is offi- cially stated. . The government is not specific in the public announcement as to what course then will be pursued, but it is understood that it means the severing of all relations between the two coun- tries. Twe Notes Sent to Washington. Senor Urrutia, minister of the in- terior, who on previous occasions has been the spokésman for the adminis- iration, was the person chosen tonight to_make the announcement. Senor Urratia refused to give out the text of the correspondence be- tween Mr. Lind and the Mexican gov- ernment, but confirmed the fact that an exchange of notes has taken place. Two notes from Mexico have been sent to Washington. The first was a reply to that delivered by Mr. Lind. This note included the demand for recogni- tion of Mexico. Regarded as an Ultimatum, The second note was sent direct to ‘Waehington and demanded that a re- ply to the previows note be made be- fore midnight. This is regarded here as an ultimatum. One official discussing this latter note said that Mexico had reached the point where she either must bow her head in humiligtion before the United States or adopt an attitude of defiance. The first contingency, he added. was regarded as impossible Will Tolerate No Interference. President Huerta in his reply to the Lind note told the United Statds that he would tolerate no interference, even though that interference might be characterized as friendly mediation. The character of the reply of Wash- ington to President Huerta's note will determine the next action in the inter- drama. national All those connected with the Ameri- can embassy refuss to admit the re- cefpt of the note, and that it had been sent was not admitted officiaily by the Mexican government. Efforts to Appear Optimistic. At the embassy there was an evident desire to appear optimistic and one was led to believe that Mr. Lind still hoped for a continuation of the nego- tiations. Those familiar with the workings of the Mexican administra- tion expressed doubt as to the gov- ernment again opening the subject for discussion. President Huerta’s failure to live up to what was regarded as the spirit of his recent note, in which he said Mr. Lind would be regarded as persona non grata if he did not bring to Mexico proper credentials, together with rec- ognition of the republic by the United States, had caused the public to be- lieve there was a possibilitv that he intended to receive with favor, in part, at least, the suggestions of the Wash- ington administration. Received Lind as Act of Courtesy. It appears, however, that the Mexi- can_government’s unofficial reception of Mr. Lind by Minister of Foreign Afrairs Gamboa and the acceptance by the foreign secretary of Mr. Lind’s preliminary note was merely’ an exam- ple of international courtesy, due, per- haps, to a desire of President Huerta 1o make clear his record in developing events. Those most intimate with Jiuerta expressed no surprise in de- claring that in their opinion Huerta had voiced his sentiments fully and nnalterably when he stated’ publicly more than a week ago that he would brook no interference in the work of pacifying Mexico. Possible Effect of Huerta's Attitude. It is believed here that President Huerta’s attitude is likely: to result in the early adoption of a policy of abso- non-interference on the.part of United States, which will probably Wmvolve the lifting of the embargo against the importation of arms and ammunition by the rebels. TO BE MADE PUBLIC. President to Give Out American Com- munication to Mexico. ~ Washington, Aug. 18—The Huerta government's rejection of the sugges- tions made by the United States for a peaceful solution of the Mexican revo- fution reached Washington late today. President Wilson, Secretary Bryan and counsellor John Bassett Moore, of the state department, discussed for nearly two hours the despatches of John Lind, personal representative of Pres- ident Wilson in Mexico, describing the attitude of the Huerta officials. Communication to be Made, Public. The president and his advisers were plainly disappointed at the turn of events, but announced that the Ameri- can government would have nothing to say tonight. Instead, the American communication appealing for the sus- pension of hostilities*and a constitu- tional election together with the em- phatic statement that under no cir- cumstances could the United States recognize the Huerta regime because it was set up by irregular force instead of constitutional order, will be made public tomorrow. In view of the re- Jection of the suggestions contained in the communication presented by Mr. Lind its publication tomorrow will con- etitute a reiteration” beforq the world of President Wilson’s ideas as to con- stitutional government in Latin-Amer- ca. Will End Dealings with Huerta Regime In all likelthood today's events mean the end of any dealifigs with the Huer- ta officials. Though there was much talk in official circles of Jifting the embargo on arms and permitting the constitutionalists to get the munitions of war with which they claim they soon can overthrow the Huerta admin- fstration, it is likely that subh a policy will be carefully considersd in the sen- ate before any action is taken, Administration Officials Puzzled, Administration officials were puzzled lJate tonight when they received the announcement through press despatch. ®s that Provisional President Huerta “ nad delivered an uitimatum demanding - recognition of his government in Mexico by the United States. i Secretary Tumulty at the White House read the Associated Press des- patch from Mexico City, received shortly before midnight, stating the |intention of the Huerta government, and immediately communicated it to Secretary Bryan. President Wilson had retired early and was not awak- ened. g Secretary Bryan said he had received merely cablegrams announcing the re- jection by the Huerta government of the American suggestion for a peace- ful settlement. In the absence of offi- cial confirmation Secretary Bryan said no announcement would be made by this government. REPUBLICANS ATTACK | FREE SUGAR PROGRAMME. Ruin of Louisiana Cane Sugar Indus- try Predicted. Washington, Aug. 18.—Free sugar { was the text of the tariff debate in the nate today, republican members as- sailing the democratic proposal to put sugar on the free list in 1916, predict- ing the ruin of the Louisiana cane su- gar industry and the “gobbling up” by the trust of the domestic beet su- gar indusiry of the country.

Both factions of the double barreled govern- ment at Albany have promised rigid investigations and the exertion of ev- ery effort to bring about his capture. Thaw Writes His Mother. Thaw’s seclusion today and tonight was aboslute. Out of the cloud of dust which swirled in the wake of the black automobile bearing him and his lib- erators from Matteawan Sunday morn- ing nothing tangible had come except a laconic letter from Thaw him:elf, as suring his aged mother in New York|Proceedings, the attorney general says: that he desired rest and would In due time join her at the Thaw ' country place, Elmhurst, at ,Cresson, Pa. In obedience to this plad Mrs. Thaw pur- poses to start for Cresson tomorrow morning. Preparing for Fight in Courts, Happy, girlish almost in her joy, Mrs. Thaw exhibited the hastily scrawled note from the son whose es- capades have cost the family a million and added that whatever Harry did would meet with her approval. This, in view of his announced intention of take his case before the courts of that State, and, relying on the kink in Amer- jcan laws relative to the insane charg- ed with crime, will oppose extradition and deuplicate in Pennsylv: it possible, the course of John Armstrong Chaloner in Virgini A Conspiracy is Extraditable. - It was fn anticipation of suéh a meve that the New York authorities caused the warrant to be sworn out, at Pough- keepsie, Conspiracy, according to the of Duchess coungy, censtitutes an extaditable offense, Close’ 08 of the Iy indi- cated ight thal the v “of & legal fight in Pennsylvania had been laid, Britton D, Evans, the alienist who test d in Thaw’s behalf at the murder s, held a telephone conference with Mrs, Thaw this aft- ernoen, and it wes said that he would accompany her te Pennsylvania tomor- row. There are to be conferences with counsel, and meantime it is understood Thaw is to remain in hiding. Many Rumors Afloat. Figuratively,as well as literally T left behind him only a cloud of Duch- ess county dust. Rumors of his pass- age, descriptions of bleck automobiles tales of vacht boardings in Long Island Sound, speckled the day’s news, The yacht Endymion of George Lauder, Jr., a distant relative of the Thaws, by marriage, found mention in the crop of rumors. _ After having left Vineyard Haven, Mass, the craft was reported as cruising somewhere in the Sound, pos- sibly not far from South Norwalk, Conn.,, repeatedly mentioned as an ob- Jjective point for Thaw had cared to take to sea. Inquiry at the New York Yacht club disciosed that the Endymion™was a slow boat, and at- taches there scouted the idea that Thaw would have gone aboard. Would Be Safe in the Sound. Whilef§there was nothing to support the theoly that Thaw hand taken to the sea, this seemed to those who bave fol. lowed the case to be the likelfest course. Leaving Matteawan, only two routes which did not double back into New York state lay open to him, One lay north by fland to Canada, thence southwest along the border of the Great Lakes and across Lake Erie to a north- jutting nubbin of Pennsylvania. The other is the water route. Aboard ship in the Sound, Thaw could bide his time in comparative safety and make his way to Philadelphia via Delaware bay and the Delaware river. Might Encounter Trouble in Canada. In view of the fact that entrance in- to Canada might mean a clash with the immigration authorities there, the theory was advanced that Thaw's ad- visers would not have him take any such risk. Despatches from Oitawa, though quoting no official, said that if Thaw halted within the Dominion he might be deported as an undesirable alfen, al- though if he had a through ticket to Burope there would e no halting him. The state authorities at Harrisburg, Pa., indicated that if he came within that state his case would be referred to the attorney general's office, provided New York authorities asked for his ex- tradition. The Philadelphia police said they . would deiain him if New York requested it. Connecticut took the view that he could be held there as an in- sane fugitive, but Massachugetts offi- cials were imelined to think“fzat noth- ing short of a criminal charfe would warrant his detention in that state. Searching for His Confederates. Second only to the search for Thaw is that for Richard J. Butler, Roger Thompson, Michael _('Keefe, Fugene Duffy and Thomas Flood, the gquintet whose muscle and nerve and skill with automobiles did the stop-watch work outside the asylum walls. These five did the ‘“rough work.” Who was the brains of the plot—wnether Thaw him- self or some astute lawyer—will have to_be developed later. The description of Butler tallies closely with that of an ex-assembly- men of the same 'name from New York «city, William Gordon, proprietor of the litfle hotel at Fishkill Landing, where the five made thelr headquarters for two days prior to Thaw’s escape, iden - tified tonight a photograph of the ex assemblyman as one of his latest suests, The clerk of the hotel bore him -out.

Thaw’s freedom, and the po- | ful chief executive of New York state, pending thé outcome of impeachment proceedings against Governor Sulzer, according to an offictal opinion ren- dered today by Attorney General Thomas Carmiody to Secretary of State Mitchell May. Mr. Carmody holds that the assembly was within its rights in instituting impeachment proceed; ings at an extraordinary session. Attorney-General's Declaration. “When the governor is impeaclied by the assembly,” says the opinion, “all of his powers are automatically suspended until he has been acquitted or the impeachment proceedings dis- missed by the court of impeachment. In the meantime the lieutenant gov- ernor acts as governor. This is the plain intent of the constitution. Any other construction would nullify its express provision.” With reference to the authority of the assembly to initiate impeachment No Comment on Opinion. - “It is my opinion that~if the as- sembly wag not assembled, either in extraordinary or regular session, it might assemble itself and proceed to the discharge of its powers in this regard. Otherwise the governor of the state could prevent the impeachment of himself and his friends in office, for crimes, however great, after the ad- journment of the regular session of the legislature, by the simple process of omitting to -call the legislature in on.” ion tonight. Sulzer Holds Meeting. by Him The activities of the rival guberna- torial camps during the day centered largely on the escape of Harry K. Thaw from Matteawan and the meet- ing of the public buildings board to open bids for the recemstruction work in the capitel. The bids for capitol construgtion were opened in Mr, Sul- zer's presemce by Chester C, Platt, secretary of the board, an opinion hav- ing been rendered by the attorney gen- eral's ce that such actien met legal requirements. Although one of the points Governor Sulzer has Taised re- speetmg the legislature is that it had. no right to comduct any business whatever in the absence of a quorum, he was the only member present at this board meeting and conducted thg entire proceedings. Floral Tribute for Sulzer. The expected meeting in this con- nection of Mr. Glynn, as acting gov- ernor; Senator Wagner as lieutenant governor, and Speaker Smith of the Mr. Glynn declined to say if a date had been ap- pointed for Such a meeting, adding that it made little difference as a. con- siderable time must intervene before contracts can be awarded. During the day he signed some official documents, including papers for the extradition of Norman Foot, a prisoner in the Al- bany jail, charged with larceny at Pittsfield, Mass, Late today a huge floral design was taken to the executive chamber labeled “Newburgh's tribute to Governor Sul- zer; $500 if you need it.” this end in view was taken in a special term of the supreme court here this afternoon, when Justice Joseph Morschauser issued a warrant for the arrest of Thaw, charging him with conspiracy with Keeper Howard Bar- num and five other men in making his escape from Matteawan Sunday morn- ing. Similar warrants were“also issued for Richard J. Butler, Roger J. Thomp- son, Michael O'Keefe, Eugene Duffy and Thomas Fleod, Thaw’s alleged ac- complices. Keeper Barnum, the guard who opened the hospital gate when Thaw escaped, has been held without bail for an examination on Thursday. Justice Morschauser issued the war- rants for the arrest of Thaw and his five alleged accomplices after taking the evidence of several witnesses this afternoon. District Attorney Conger claims comspiracy is an exiraditable charge and that Thaw can be brought back to Dutchess county no matter to what state he fled. Armed with warrants, Sheriff Fred Hornbeck and his deputies left here to- night for the eastern part of the coun- ty. The party departed hurriedly and the sheriff made it known that he had received an important clue which he expected to lead to the arrest of the five accomplices, Builer, Thompson, O'Keefe, Duffy and Flood. Warrant Out for Thaw. Danbury, Conn., Aug. 18—The police this afternoon received a request from the Poughkeepsie, N. Y., authorities asking for the arrest of Harry K. Thaw as a fugitive from justice. The request stated that a warrant had been issued for Thaw. MAY BE IN JERSEY. Dr. Evans Says Thaw Would Be Safe and Welcome in His Home. New York, Aug. 18—Dr. Britton D. Evans, medical director of the New Jersey state hospital at Morris Plains, intimatéd strongly late tonight after having held a conference -with Mrs. Mary G. Thaw that Thaw was or had ‘been_at the Morris Plaing asylum. “He wasn't there when I left and T don't expect to see him there when I get back,” sald Dr. Evans evasive- ‘Has he been there?” he was asked. “I refuse to discuss it,” said the doc- tor. ‘“He would be ' perfectl safe there,” he added, “and I ‘have'so as- sured Mrs. Thaw. Moreover, he would be a welcome guest. In _my opinion he would be as safe in New Jersey ag'in New Zealand. I have spacious apartments and he would be welcome with my family.” oN THE TRAIL.
