WASHINGTON. Au. 2t-Great Britain.
France and Japan are 'among the' nations
which havo interposed their fhfluenca
upen Uie Huerta administration in sup.
port of the efforts of the United States
to brine about a peaceful settlement of
the revolution.
While administration officials , -wore
silent today regarding this phase of the
situation, there was a lively interest
manifest In diplomatic circles here as to
the probable effect of foreign pressure
on the Huerta government
It was learned that the Mexican au
thoritles hoped President Wilson would
not read hts men sage to congress next
Tuesday, as he had planned, and show
ti disposition to prolong the negotiations.
Unless some tangible overture, however,
Is received within forty-eight hours from
the Huerta officials, indicating a desire
to accept the fundamental proposals of
the United States, the. president win pro
claim to congress and the world tho atti
tude of this gdvernment toward the
southern republic
in Financial Straits.
Tho fact that diplomats from some of
tho very countries which not only have
formally recognized Huerta, but whose
bankers hitherto have- floated loans for
him, are using their lnfluonoo on the
Mexican administration Is calculated to
produce something definite shortly. Offl
clal reports to the State lepartment sho ti
the Huerta regime to be. In desperate'
financial straits, with little prospect of
getting .funds anywhere to meet the run
nlng expenses of the government or pay
Its troops, already restive 'because of de
ferred payments.
So Important is this aspect of the sit
uation, regarded that on air of tense ex
ncctancy prevailed 'tonight In official
circle wbierV.'it was'J&lteV-sd 'sd-rhefpror
'nounoeisetit would be forthcoming from
Mexlco"Clty beforef "President "Wilson "fin

' ifeeseage te .Congress,
XJaJte Statea Insistent.
The Insistence of" the United Btatcs on
' n, constitutional eldctlon and the elimina
tion of Huerta was reiterated positively
by , administration oft iclals-a position
which Mr. Iilnd had been Instructed to
emphasize. Only concessions by the
Huerta government, it is believed here,
now will persuade President Wilson to
hold ' up the presentation of hts mes
sage. The president finished the document to
oay.iread It over to Secretary Bryan and
will disousa it on Monday with members
of the senate and house committees on
foreign relations. In the meantime of
ficials will await word from Mexico City
as to a possible change oi attitude.
The sending of a special envoy from
Mexico to Washington further to discuss
the situation with President Wilson Is
regarded here as a dilatory move. It is
known that the Washington government
has made it clear that such a procedure
would not alter the views expressed in
its first note. It is belleyed, however,
that .the Huerta .officials now have aban
doned the Idea of sending -an envoy aid
are seeking to develop a new basis for
negotiation.
Three Soldiers , to Mile.
With only three American soldiers
available for the protection of each mt-e
of the Mexican bprder, and certain
knowledge that quantities of- arms and
ammunition . are being smuggled acroat
the line, consideration ' has been given Is
military circles to the dispatch of fresh
rf troops. The possibility that as a result
of the steady northward movement of the
federal troops In Mexico, the numerous
constitutionalist bands may be tempted
to "cross into Texas and Arizona to escape
' capture, has been also taken Into con'
sideratlon. Although no orders have been
issued, plans of the army havo been fully
developed to largely Increase the maneu
ver division under General Carter.

THAI COMMITMENT IS VOID

LAWYERS AWAITING O'MARA
Fifty Thousand Dollars Said to
Hare Been Promised Five of.
Attorneys na a lie
tnlner. 8HERBROOKE, Aug. Sl.-Harry K.
Thaw, squabbling with the Dominion's
leading lawyers, retained to prevent his
return to the Matteawan state hospital
for the Insane, from which ho escaped on
Sunday morning last, was tonight appar
ently as much In Ignorance of the next
move in his case as the casual Idlor
around the Sherbrooko JalL
For two hours his counsel conferred
this afternoon debating, whether they
would produce Thaw In court on a writ
of habeas corpus next Wednesday or
abandon the writ, surrender him to th
immigration authorities and countenance
his deportation to Vermont, .a procedure
to wWch, It was said h$re, tho Immigra
tion officers had agreed. 'The two-hour
talk waa preceded by a conference with
Thaw as to his preference "before It re
sulted In no derinlte decision.
To Walt for O'Mara.
He was loquacious, erratic, domineering,
and It was decided to await the arrival
here of Roger O'Mara of Pittsburgh,
Thaw's detective-guardian. According to
the understanding here, ho will arrive to
morrow night by way of Montreal.
Never in the history of tho province of
Quebec, or the Dominion of Canada, for
that matter, has such a legal snarl within
a snarl, cose within a case, been before
tho courts.
In brief, Thaw Is held on a commit
ment charging him with being a. fugitive
frpm Matteawan, where ho was confined
on a criminal charge." This la an error.
Acquitted of Stanford White's murder on
the ground of Insanity, ho was held there
on no charge, but as a lunatic.
Commitment Defective.
Both sides havo admitted that the com
mitment is defective and It was conceded
that he would be released on tho writ
when arraigned. Why 'not then, Thaw's
lawyers were asked by. the Immigration
authorities, cancel aa It were all your
objections to his being held, turn him
over to us, have a hearing at CoaUcook,,
where he was first locked up after cross
ing the border, and wo will deport him
to Vermont? It will then be up to Ncvv
Yorfc state, to extradite him.
But the agents of tho Immigra
tion authorities hero arc .subordinates
and Thaw's lawyers belle vo that tho
final decision In the matter will come
from the minister of the Interior, who is
at, Vancouver on hits vacation. Facing
this predicament, it was said tonight that
the habeas corpus hearing would be held
on Wednesday, as previously set.
Another Possibility.
Another possibility was suggested.
Thaw would come' In court, plead 'not
guilty of the present charge and demand
trial. This,, is was said, might not take
p)aee tntll the October tirm of court ; v
How about 117" iThaw, 'waa-asked. '
""Walt Tor Ito'ffer." Ha aaieV- "
O'Mara, was thus literally- the missing
keystone in the Thaw forces tonight,
and William T. Jerbraa, Thaw's old
enemy arid prosecutor, was the missing
general of the New York forces. It was
said here that Jerome, retained by the
New Tork attorney general's depart
ment, would arrive Sunday.
Thaw did net appear particularly dis
turbed when, told Jerome was hurrying
here.
Can Confer with Them.
"So Willie's coming." he said. "For
once In my life I have lawyers who have
no tremendous amount of1 ability, but I
am able to confer with them. - I Have,
never had a lawyer except Delmas and
maybe a couple of others, who were
worth over $25 a day.
A clique of Stanford White's friends
havo always pursued, and they have
pursued me up here. But their Influence
Is waning. Public opinion In New York
and elsewhere is steadily growing more
favorable to me. Canadians ore learning
that New York Is trying to treat Canada
as a little principality. But after all, I
think it is" wiser to have come to Canada
instead of entering Pennsylvania.
"Wellrl hope Jerome has a good tlmo
here. I have a lot of things on Jerome,
I was going to spring them at White
Plains In 1908, but decided not to. I'll
spring them some time, though.'
Won't Dlacnas Wlfo.
As he rambled on. Thaw had a stenog
rapher taking down what he said, He
declined to say a word about Evelyn
Thaw or the child she says is his.
Jerome is to tho New York forces as
O'Mara Is, In a. sense, to tho defense.
Without O'Mara, Thaw's lawyers are
sparring for time. With tho arrival of
Jerome, thoso here from Dutchess
county and Albany will drop into the
background. Franklin Kennedy, a dep
uty attorney general from Albany, has
had charge of the case so far. Assist
ing him are Fred Hornbeck, Dutchess
county's sheriff; K. A. Conger, district
attorney of Dutchess county, and Ham
uel Jacobs, a Montreal lawyer retained
to represent them In court Kennedy
and Jacobs went to Montreal on a secret
mission this afternoon, returning tonight.
Sheriff Hornbeck spends his time In a
hotel chair Jangling handcuffs and leg
Irons he brought with him and wondering
what will happen. Mr, Conger said to
night that otf course hp and Kennedy
would be superseded when Jerome comes.
'We'll Get Him."
"I don't believe all this talk about the
agreement to deport Thaw to Vermont,"
said. Conger. "While I understand the
Immigration agents here have been In
structed to use their discretion In the
mutter, they are, in my opinion, nothing
more than policemen and I think the de
cision la up to the minister of the In
terior. We are waiting till Thaw's law
years come Into court We'll get him
sure. Whether they will deport him to
Vermont I can't say. We haven't suc
ceeded, however, in getting even a ten
tative promise to shoot him across at
the New York state line."
The Inside story of how Thaw's Canad
ian lawyers were retained has cropped
up in Sherbrooke. When Thaw's arrest
waa first flashed to New York City, a
New Ybrk theatrical man, who had met
Margaret Thaw Carnegie abroad, called
up the Camegles and Mrs. Mary Copeley
Thaw, then In New York and told them
Thaw's position was perilous. The ad
viser explained that his home town was

NEW YORK, Aug. 21. Edward E. Mc
Call, chairman of the public service com
mission, was tonight designated as
mayoralty candidate by the democratic
city committee. ,
Mr, McCalVs selection by the 630 dele
gates as leader of the Tammany forces
was unanimous, as has been forecasted
since it appeared from yesterday's an
nouncement that the Tammany leaders
had decided not td renominate Mayor
Gaynor and that he would be nominated
by the "Gaynor league" with a complete
Independent city ticket of Its own. There
were reports, that friends oi Mayor" Gay
nor would attempt t6 "stampede tonight's
convention for 'him despite the leaders,
but no such move materialized.
Herman A. Mets was unanimously des
ignated for comptroller. Mr. Mctz held
Hits office during Mayor McClellan's sec
ond term. Congressman Joseph A, Goul.
den was unanimously selected for presi
dent of the Board of" Aldermen. The
main planks of the platform arc:
A declaration for rigid economy in mu
nicipal administration; an endorsement
of the present subway policy ot exten
sion; home rulo as against. "Interference
by .the state legislature"; equal tax as
sessments to relieve burden of small
owners and rent payers; to promote the
supremacy of New York City as a port;
to remove from police supervision "tho
suppression of gambling, disorderly
houses and kindred vices."
The part of the platform regarding the
police situation was quite generally taken
as an endorsement of the work of Dis
trict Attorney Whitman , and the talk
that ha would be Indorsed by Tammany
was at once revived with added strength.
The county committee, which will des
ignate a candidate for district attorney,
meets next week.

BANK OF FRANCE TO ISSUE

PARIS, Aug. 21. The Bank of France
has decided to strike Into coin the whole
of its gold metal reserve, amounting to

caused by the recent gold crisis In Europe
and the fact that foreign banks In troub

the form of bars. At the rate at which
the gold is being minted about 3,000 so
