Huerta intends to resign on the convening of Congress in regular session Thureday. It ‘was dased on the alleged declaration of @ member of the new Chamber of Depu- ties. Precisely on what basis the Dic- tator will quit has not been indiCated. In the meantime Gen. Huerta 1s pro- ceeding with his efforts to organise the new Congress, regardless of the notice given to him by John Lind, the personal representative of President Wilsdn, that serious consequences would follow such ® step. It was expected » further at- tempt would be made this afternoon to Organise the Senate, as Saturday's failed owing to the lack of a quorum. The Chamber of Deputies was ordered to hold a session to-day for the purpose ©f revising the credentials of its mem- bers, and it is expected that unless the United States Government finds a means to bring about an alteration of the Dresent plans the firat regular meeting of the House will occur on Thursday. MINISTER OF WAR BLANQUET BREAKS WITH HUERTA. ‘There was considerable gossip in Political circles to-day of further changes in the Mexican Cabinet being im prospect and Gen. Aureliano Blan- quet, the Minister of Wer, was sald t have had a misunderstanding with President Huert: ‘Huerta regards hie part in the recent exchange of communications with the United States as finished, He expects to find no difficulty in consummating his plan to brink his new Congress to full organization and he continues plan- ning for his military campaigns and carrying out his policies of ‘“pacifica- tion.” ‘What further move may be taken at Washington 1s a question which neither the Mexicans nor the foreigners here “find an easy one to answer, but there was noticeable to-day an increasing pression of opinion United ~ States would continue its hands-oif policy, This was not a predominating belief, but those who expressed tt pointed out that there was an element @t Washington which would be con- tented to see the Federals and Cone! tutionalists play their own game to the finish, the taking of Juarez by the rebel forces being cited as perhaps an en- couragement of such @ disposition at ‘Washington. Mr. O'Shaughnessy sald to-day he Bad received no indication from Wash- to close the Am The Americ Charge d'Affuires appeared to have abandoned hope of any renewal of the negotiationa with the Mexican Govern- ment, and he said he simply was await- ng orders which were to govern his next step.

It wes asserted at the American Embassy that no new instructions had been re- cotved, Many American citizens who have interior of Mexico have the deep-scated eomviction that the altuation has reached @ most acute stage, and large numbers of them have joined in the rush to V Cruz, 4 r of busin whose headquarters ure abroud have re- oetved cabled instructions to send the 8 concerns here Vera Crus to-day a man arrived who claimed to be a messenger from John Land, with what authority was not knowa, and who urged the immedi departure of all American women and (Contiaved on Becond Page) Lasieali reached here from smaller towns in the | women and children of their employees | out of the federal capital, while from | aa nig. * HUERTA TO RESIGN Oe THIS WEEK, MEXICANS HEAR; WILSON AWAITS LAST MOVE Q'GORMAN SAYS HE WON'T FIGHT TANIMANY BOSS “Under No Circumstances: Would I Accept Leadership While I’m Senator.” ENOUGH WORK NOW Not Mixing in Politics, He De- clares and Is in City on Business Affairs. ‘United States Senator James A. O’Gor- man to-day denied the story circulated during the last twenty-four hours to the effect that he and his law partner, George Gordon Rattle, aro to take the leadership of Tammany Hall from Charles F, Murphy under the guise of “reorganization.” ‘The Senator, who was scen at his office to-day on Wall street, says there is no circumstance that can in- duce him to accept the leadership of Tammany or any other political organt- zation while he represents the people of the Empire State in the Upper House at Washington, ‘The Senator came up from Washing- ton Saturday night. There was to be no meeting of the Currency Committee, 90 he took advantage of the lull to look after personal business here in New York. “What in you opinion, is Tammany's iiment?” the Senator was asked. “I'm afraid 1 cannot discuss politics,” he replied. “Would you sugegst reorganization, long certain lines as did George Gor- don Battle, or do you believe reorganiza- tion le not necessary?” “I must answer that question the same as the other,” good naturedly re- plied the Senator, REFUSES TO TALK ABOUT ELIM- INATION OF MURPHY. ‘Ip the elimination of Charles F. Murphy necessary for the success of Tammany Hall?” The Senator merely smiled and re peated that he did not come to New York to talk politica at all. “Would you accept the leadership of ‘Tammany Hall if Mr, Murphy were eliminated and the offer of the leade! ship came to you in the proper wey? Mr, O'Gorman was asked, “The proposition is simply impos sible,” said the Senator, “There is no circumstance that would cause or per- |mit me to accept any political leader- hip so long as I am United States Benator. There is enough work con- nected with the office of United States Senator to keep me busy. I am not mixing in politics despite rumore to the oontrary. “I came here strictly on business. 1 have not discussed political situation while here. Let me again emphaaii that I do not aspire to the leadership of Tammany Hall or any other political organization under the sun, and I shall | Rot aspire for any such honor #9 long s I am United States Senator.” pase deeenlbaticiosn MALONE AT CITY HALL.
