New York, Oct. 31—Tam
many is being lambasted in the
president municipal campaign
as never before in its history.
Supporters of Wm. Sulzer are
bombarding it right and left,
and now speakers for Mitchell
the fusion candidate for mayor
have turned loose on it. Ad
ded to this the fact that the
Tammany candidate is a weak
one, makes it appear as though
the Tammany Tiger is going
to lose control of the govern
ment of the city. Its only sal
vation apparently is the multi
plicity of the candidates ar
rayed against the organization.

Washington, Oct. 31—Word
was received in a long w’ireless
message from the City of Mex
ico today, relayed in code from
the battleship fleet that Huer
ta has been jailing all his ene
mies in the capital so as to be
sureof no opposition in con
gress tomorrow when the of
ficial canvass is made of the
vote cast in last Sunday’s elec
tion.
Mexico City, Oct. 31—With 1
the election of Huerta and
Blanquet an almost foregone
conclusion, the question as to
what Washington can do in the
mailer is the problem that is
occupying the attention of the
foreign diplomats in this city.
There can be no denying the
fact that the greater number
of the votes received by Huer
ta and his associate were cast
by the soldiery, the presence
of whom at the voting places
effectually prevented any op
position votes being cast, but
the fact remains that Huerta
actually received a majority
and is thus the elected choice
of Ihe voters of Mexico. It is
a knotty problem and one re
quiring a great deal of study
before attempting to solve it.
The foreign residents, fear
ing that war between the Uni
ted States and Mexico is inev
itable, are preparing to leave
the country at a moment’s no
tice.
Washington, Oct. 31—Presi
dent Wilson has nothing to say
.as to when he will decida to
intervene in the Mexican em
broglio. In the meantime the
war department is busily en
gaged in getting troops in
readiness for immediate dis
patch to Mexico. The crews
at the different stations are
working night and day to get
supplies in shape for shipment
and when the order does come
; erything will be in readiness
1 for quick work.
