It would appear1 now that as the message has been in the possession of the government since Thursday night, and no action concerning it has yet been announced, there Is a good chance for its acceptance. President Huerta gave Friday night what was considered to be sn in­ timation that he would be a can­ didate for election to the presidency in the autumn. When asked as to his intentions, he said It was unde­ sirable for him to make at tnis time a statement as to the possibility of his candidacy, but that he might an­ nounce his intention in a fortnight. Washington, Aug. 18.--The Huerta government, through conferences be­ tween John Lind, President Wilson's personal representative, a:nd Foreign Minister Gamboa, now know* the viewpoint of the United States and its desire for only a peaceful and friendly solution of Mexico's troubles. The formal communication will be trans­ mitted to representatives of foreign powers here Monday. It is expected In diplomatic circles that President Huerta will formally announce a call for an early election, even setting the date. It is regarded as possible that the constitutionalists would participate in an election con­ ducted by a nonpartisan commission of Mexican^ a plan now under discus­ sion here as an alternative that might be used.

Sulzer's plan to invSiK-ilH?®n* of the courts on the question whetfita he or Martin H. Glynn is now the law­ ful governor of New York was check­ mated on Friday by the lleuteant gov­ ernor. Replying to a formal proposal by the impeached executive to submit the is­ sue to adjudication on an agreed state­ ment of facts, Mr.'Glynn declared it was beyond his power to "barter away any of the functions attaching to the office in which I am placed by your im­ peachment." "Any attempt on my part to do so," he said, "or to stipulate a method by which it might be done, would proper­ ly place me in the position you now oc­ cupy--that of being impeached for malfeasance in office." Mr. Glynn declared further that he proposed to perform every function of the office of governor "except in so far as I am restrained by your Illegal ac­ tion or by physical force." The announcement of the lieutenant governor's policy came late at night and followed negotiations between the respective counsel of the two men in the afternoon, which it was then sup­ posed had resulted in a virtual agree­ ment to take the case to the court of appeal*. The letter was delivered to Mr. Sul- zer at the executive mansion. Subsequently a horde of irate Mur­ phy followers suggested, through their spokesman, that Mr. Glynn turn out a regiment of the National Guard, which is ready to obey his commands, and forcibly wrest the scepter of . govern­ ment from Mr. Sulzer. Again Mr. Glynn shook his head. It Is the purpose of Mr. Sulzer's counsel, who contend that indictments for high treason against Tammany Boss Murphy and his lieutenants will be asked for, to maintain before the court of Impeachment that Tammany Hall coercion brought about tie impeach­ ment of Mr. Sulzer. The serious condition of Mrs. Suiter necessitated the recall of Dr. Robert Abrahams from New York. No official bulletin waB forthcoming from the ex­ ecutive mansion concerning Mrs. Sul- ser, but an afternoon bulletin, dictated by Dr. Abrahams after he had learned of the patient's condition over the tel- phone, stated that she was "still in a precarious condition," with a tempera­ ture of 102 and pulse 118. •Washington, Aug. 18.--The federal government soon may be confronted with the problem of determining whom it will recognise as governor of New York.

Washington, Aug. 18.--A story of bribery, petty and large, of confer­ ences with lobbyists and of campaign funds raised by manufacturers, involv­ ing Representative James T. McDer* mott of Chicago, was told by L £L McMichael, former chief .pace of Ukl house, before the house lobby invest!* gating committee friday. McMichael said that ~C&ics^' metn- berii of the National Association of Manufacturers raised $1,250 as a cam­ paign fund for McDermott, told of numerous transactions between Maiv tin M. Mulhall and the stockyards con­ gressman. He swore that McDermott told him that he received $7,600 for his efforts to have the loan shark bill in the District of Columbia amended so that it would not injure pawn­ brokers, and told of numerous confer­ ences between the congressman and the lobbyist. At one of these conferences, at which he was present, McMichael said that McDermott told Mulhall he Would need $6,000 fpr his campaign ex­ penses, and that Mulhall said he would try to get it for him. Shortly after that, he said, Mulhall brought to McDermott's office a list of the Chicago members of the National As­ sociation of Manufacturers and Mc­ Dermott marked who were in his dis­ trict. McMichael, In the capacity of McDermott's oenfldential secretary, then returned the list to Mulhall and later gave Mulhall $76 to g<p to Chi­ cago at the request of McDermott, who said he "was broke." This was during the 1912 campaign. After he had. been elected McDermott told McMichael that Mulhall had not raised a cent for . him and had left him-a $300 hotel bill to pay.

FUGITIVE ON BOATTD YACHT Wife of Maniac Asserts He Bosrded Veeeel Near South Norwslk, Conn. -Prlsoty Plot Is Suspected---Murv d*r*r Cannot B* Extradictcd. ' ---- New York. Aug. 18.--Harry Itiaw, slayer of Stanford White, eaped from Matteawan on Sunday. He made his daring dash for liberty 1m a taxicsb. From Mrs. Evelyn Nesblt Thaw the authorities learned that Thaw made his escape on a yacht from Roton Point, near South Norwalk, Conn. She did not reveal the source of in­ formation. Within fcn hour after his dash for liberty ho had crossed the line divid­ ing the states of New York and Con­ necticut and he is beyond the reach o< tha New York authorities. It is believed that extratiictkm is impossi­ ble and that Thaw's freedom Is as­ sured unless he is held for insanity In another state and committed to some asylum there. Thaw's escape was one of the most dramatic affairs of the kind ever re­ corded. After knocking down a gateman, who was admitting a milk­ man to the Matteawan asylum grounds, he leaped into a taxioab standing Just outside the wall. This was headed for the Connecticut state line and*the moment Thaw entered the chauffeur put on full speed and daafred, away. Before a half mile $•4 betfn covered by the taxicab it overtook a Bii-oyiaider touring car that had been moving slowly, also toward the, Co??"ecrticut' fir.eV The taxi-cab slackened speed and TbUw leaped out as the smaller machine drew alongside the touring car. The door of the latter was open and Thaw leaped aboard. As the door slammed, the touring car speeded away at a rate at least eighty miles an hour. The machine dashed through Storm- ville, N. Y., fourteen miles from the- asylum, without any diminution of speed and, according to late reports, received by the asylum authorities, crossed the Connecticut line in the vicinity of New Canaan, Conn. Dr. Raymond Charles Francis Kieb, superintendent of Matteawan', b6* Ileves that Thaw's escape was the result of a carefully planned and well executed conspiracy. He received in­ formation a few hours after Thaw's escape that led him to believe, he said, that the fugitive had been caiv ried to a Connecticut seaport town, where a yacht had been waiting off shore to take him aboard. The superintendent ordered the ar­ rest of Howard Baraum, the asylum guard who was on duty at the time the wealthy young slayer broke away from the Institution, to which he was committed on February 1, 1908. Doc­ tor Kieb was appointed superintend­ ent-on June 6 of this year, succeeding Dr. John W. Russell. Doctor Russell was dismissed as the result of an al­ leged $20,000 bribery plot for the re­ lease of Thaw. John N. Anhut, a young lawyer, is now serving a prison sentence for his participation in the bribery conspiracy. Ever since Thaw was sent to Mat­ teawan, more than five years ago, his mother, Mrs. Maiy Copley Thaw of Pittsburgh, has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars In attempts to have him freed legally from restrain. As soon as Evelyn Nesbit Thaw heard of her husband's escape she asked for protection. She declared she believed her life in danger and, accordingly, she was given police pro­ tection. She is also being guarded by a private detective hired by Arthur Hammersteln. The theatrical escape of Harry K. Thaw from the State Hospital for the Criminal Insane at Matteawan adds another act to the sensational trag- edV that had its beginning in New York city on the night of June 2$, 1906. On that occasion, in company with his young wife, 'Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, and two friends, Thaw went to the Madison Square roof gard$h tfi witness the opening performance of a musical comedy. Near the close of the performance Thaw left his seat and began to pace back and forth In the aisle behind the seats occupied by Stanford White, an architect of International fame, and his son. In this setting Thaw drew a re­ volver and fired three bullets into Stanford White's body. The archi­ tect died almost instantly. Thaw was then arrested by a policeman. Thaw at the time of the tragedy was twen­ ty-seven years old and was known as "the jbung spendthrift millionaire^" Sometimes a man's friend* think of him as his onemios speak of him* The rieh mellow quality of LEWIS' Sin» v Binder 5c cigar jrivt* the highest pi-->-1>yr" ur* in sacking.
