the national democratic party, who
regards hiuiielf as virtually a pris-
oner, abstained from attempting to
exercise the franchise. .
His partisans, however, early In the
day. distributed big hand bills, urging
the public to vote lor him and Reque-
na. A fresh lot of Bm#il hand bills
advocating the candidacy of Huerta
and Blanquet were distributed and
posted prominently throughout the
city were large bills at the same
character. Followers of Manuel Ga-
le ro and Jesus Flore* Magon, liberal
candidates, posted a few bills telling
of the virtues of their leaders, but not
many appeared to favor Federico
Gamboa and General Eugenia Rascon,
representatives of the Catholic party.;
Extra police patrols were not ne-'
ceesary, as no demonstrations of any
kind were reported.
Chief interest centered in the dis-
position of Gen. Dias who had dared
to refuse an invitation extended to
him by the provisional president to
return to the capital. In the quarter
of the city where General Diaz has
taken up his residence scores of plain
clothes wen and police were in evi-
dence. Their presence, it was ex-
plained by the authorities, was to
afford General Dias full protection.
Anticipating reports that might he
circulated that he spent Sunday in
the American consulate and therefore
was not on Mexican Mil on election
day Gan. Felix Diaz signed before a
notary this evening a statement that
he had not left the hotel, where he
is residing, during the day.

of then* candidates cared to express
an opinion as to whether a sufficient

Mexican Developments.

toncta with the state department for
news from the Mexican elections awl
President Wilson, though absent en
route to the South —n Commercial
Congress in Mobile, was kept advis-
ed of the situation as It was reflected
from Mexico City.
Secretary Bryan was in communi-
cation with his office until-late to-
night. He received n long cipher ca-
blegram from the special American
envoy, John Elnd In Vera Cruz This
message, the contents of which were
not made public, was reported to con-
tain a summary of instructions sent
out t>p the Mexican governors from the
lluerta government for the conduct
of the election. Tonight messages
were received from Nelson O'ShauKh-
n.'ssy, the American charge at Mexi-
co City, stating that the elections. In-
sofar us reported to the Mexican
capital had been conducted quietly.
Hut little excitement was apparent
anywhere, Mr. U'Shaughnessy report-
id, with voting extremely light. Mr.
Tumulty, secretary to the president,
conferred with Mr. Bryan late tonight
on the situation and later announced
that nothing of Importance had been
reported.
The six months' limit under which
American battleships have been In
Mexican waters by permission of the
lluerta government expired today,
lluerta has given notice It would not
lie renewed and a Mexican statute
forbids the presence of a foreign ship
without permission more than a
month at a time. Ships of the At-
lantic fleet will sail this week from
Hampton Roads to replace those at
Vera Cruz and the expectation is that
the ships will be changed monthly
