Mexico City Election Leaves Presidency Question Unclear

Catholic party leaders lead in results while Gen. Felipe Diaz and Senor Requens are suspected runners up. Huerta plans a 150 000 strong army. no disorder reported as polling runs from 9 to 5 with 928 sites. Manuel Calero abstained from voting citing dull turnout. Federico Gamboa voted for Calero. others offered no stance on validity.

Officials Here Keep In Touch With Situation
Officials in Washington stayed in constant contact with the State Department for news from Mexico elections. President Wilton, en route to Mobile, was kept advised of the situation reflected from Mexico City. Secretary Bryan remained in touch late last night receiving a cipher cablegram from John Lind in Vera Cruz summarizing Huerta ordered election instructions to Mexican governors. Nelson O Shaughnessy, the American chargé at Mexico City, reported the elections were conducted quietly. Diplomatic parleys in Paris aimed to show the United States foreign powers’ friendliness, with potential notes on U S policy toward Mexico depending on those talks and the election outcome. The six month limit on American battleships in Mexican waters expired. Huerta said it would not be renewed, and a foreign ship requires permission. Atlantic fleet ships will move from Hampton Roads to Vera Cruz this week within the visitor designations.
