NEWSFR0M0VERTHE STATE I t k. i fc - I F DIAZ CUTS HIS LAST TIE Reilan Brigadier General of Re public' Army and Refuses to Visit Capital as Quest of Huerta, Who Remains Dictator. City of Mexico, Oct 28. Tho 'Mexi can elections held on Sunday have been nn absolute farco. Hardly any votes bare been cast and In some precincts there was not o songle vote cast. Gonoral Huerta will remain in the presidential chair "ad interim.'2 i No official announcement was made, bnt It was estimated. Judging from the results in tho capital, where It was ex pected tho voto would bo up to tho av erage, that less than 10,000 of ho 80r 000 eligible voters In tho republic went to the polls. It would bo no sur prise if congress, tho members of which also were voted for, declared the election void when tho body Is' or ganized and revises the returns. The leaders of the Catholic party claimed a long lead, although they were unable to estimate the numbor of votes polled for their candidates, Federico Qamboa and General Ras con. If this claim is correct, it Is gen erally thought that Gen. Felix Diaz and Senor Requena ran second. The Lib eral candidates, Manuel Caloro and Flores Mugon, had no printed ticket at thV polling places. President Huerta spent the day at his Popotla suburban home. A decree was issued by Cenoral Huerta increas Jngjhs army from 85,000 men, its al leged present number, to 150,000. General Huerta proposed such an In crease some time ago, but the con gress which he dissolved limited him' to 80,000. Sinco the deputies and senators are not subject to the election provisions governing the presidential eloctlons, it is ald that the choice for congress Is assured. It Is assumed, on the showing so far known, "the Catholic party will secure a majority in both chamber and senate. The elections promised by the provi sional president, General Huerta, were held without a semblance of disorder InTany quarter of the city. A few "patrols were on tho streets, but neither police nor troops had any but their 'Usual duties toperformi Vera Cruz, Oct. 28. The last Bhred binding Gen. Felix Biaz and Gen. Vic toriano Huerta was severed on Sun day when General Diaz telegraphed to the department of war his resignation 'as brigadier general of tho army. The negotiations regarding the trip to Mexico City on the Invitation of Huerta ended by his flat rofdsal to ac company General Vldaurrazaga, sec retary to General Blanquet, war min ister, giving as his reason the illness of his wife. Colonel Vldaurrazaga con tinued his efforts to Induce General Diaz to change his decision, but finally left for tho capital on a special train. Diaz and his family remained here. General Diaz expresses the belief that no doubt the war department will grant his application for retirement, although a few of his friends point to the possibility that tho answer may come in the form of an order of ar j. jest. General Diaz said he realized he had no chance for election to the presi dency. His plans for the future aro not yet made.

Conferences will probably begin In Chicago shortly after. The railroads will deal through the General Mana gers' association and the engineers and firemen through the Messrs.
