Washington, May 17.—Pablo Gonzalez's withdrawal from the contest for the pres- idency of Mexico, reported to the state department today, was regarded here,as the best indication that leaders of the de facto government desired to eliminate the danger arising from political rivalry. Fufther evidence of co-ordinate action was seen in the announcement aht Man. uel Palaez, -to whom oil producers have paid tribute for several years, had been appointed chief of military operations in the state of Tamaulipas. ; Restoration of wire communication with the Mexican capital brought from the Ajfierican embassy long reports on the developments. There was no word, however. as to the fate of Carranza, who hae fled to the hills near Jalapa, with olutionary troops on his trail. Official advices were summarized by the state department as follows: The American embassy at Mexico City reported to the department of state today. under date of yesterday, that Gen- eral Pablo Gonzalez has publicly surren- dered his authority to the ‘provisional president.” “In a manifesto made public yesterday General Gonzalez announced that in or- der to preserve revolutionary unity, to Testore tranquility to the nation, to elim- inate the possibility of future conflict and | to leave co untrammeled in its elections of provisional president, he irrevocably withdraws his candidacy for the next presidential term and will sur- render to the provisional president ‘the authority which revolutionary conditions | have forced him to assume.’ “The Mexico City press vesterday an- nounced that trains captured from Car- ranza were being brought to Mexico City and that eivilians who remained with the trains are being given every protection.

Barly in the session the lower house decisively defeated the resolution and although suffrage advocates bave not en- ely given up they admit that the chances of a reversal of this action are slim. Republican leaders who have tried in every way Yo swing enough votes to pass the resolution said after their con- nee today they feared suffrage was ad so far as this state is concerned. Some of them predicted the measure would never be sent to the house from the senate because its advocates realize that defeat is almost certain. Suffrage workers, however, who are here in force. refuse to admit defeat. The gloomy outlook, they declared tonight, served only to spur them to renewed ef- forts. s 4 BRITISH DESIGNER NISHOLSOY INSPECTS YACHT SHAMROCK IV City Islapd, N. Y. May 17.—Charles E.
