(tTom a Staff Corrpen8erit,)
L1NCQLN, Nov, lT.-(BpeclsJ.)-Tho po
litical situation tn tho Fifth congressional
district tins been further complicated" by
It. L. Koestt r's decision to s'sek tho nom
ination for congress In that district on
the bull moose ticket.
Mr. Keestar tried conclusions with the
present congressman, Silas Rarton, for
tho nomination In 1912, making his fight
on tho platform that ho was a "progres
sive republican," but failed to land. Us
Is ot the opinion that he will stand a
better chance next time,
This move on the part ot Mr. Kecster
has started the talk again whether there
Is any prospect of the republicans of Ne
braska getting together at the next elec
tion. When Judge Epperson, chairman
of the progressive wing of tho republican
state committee, was In Lincoln a few
days ago, ho expressed the belief that
there would be a good chance of repub
licans pulling together next fall If "out
stdo Influence'1 would keep their hands
off.
He did not specify what tho outside In
fluences were, but ln the courso of his
conversation, stated that it Theodora
Roosevelt nnd Governor Johnson persisted
In maintaining the bull moose organiza
tion there would not be as good a chance
for the republicans to forget their differ
ences. Ho thought thera was a good
prospect that the third party would put
candidates In the field at the primary but
thought their showing would be so weak
that they would cut little figure In tM
election.
"1 have received a lot of letters from
different parts ot the state," said the
Judge, 'and all ot them show a ten
dency for getting together. They speak
especially of the feeling among republic
ans of both factions that the differences
ot the past should be forgotten and a
convention called to take steps toward
an united front In the next election
against tho opposition."
In talking ot thr matter today ex-Gov-er.nor
Atdrlch sold that he was ln favor
ot a -complete change In the representa
tion of the party in the nextytiatlonal
convention. The south has too strong a
hold In both conventions, according to
the governor, and there ought to bo a
more equal distribution of representation.
"Tho reins of government aro now ln
the hands of the south," said Governor
Aldrlch, "and It Is nil due to giving south
ern states representation both tn the na
tional conventions and In congress on a
less percentage of voters than we have
In the north. In many places In the
south congressman and delegates repre
sent one-third as many people as do our
representatives up here, and It ought to
be remedied someway."

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 17. Ths report
was revived today that General Huerta
Intended to resign on tho convening of
congress In regular srsslo'n on Thursday.
It was based on the alleged declaration
of ti member of the new chamber of dep
uties. MEXICO CITY, Nov. 17,-An early sev
erance of relations between the United
Ptates and 'Mexico Is regarded here as
Inevitable. Nono of the newspapers,
whether printed In English or Spanish,
published more than the briefest dis
patches today touching tho situation and
no Indication was given hi these ot the
Intention of Washington toward Mexico.
Whether the United States embassy is
to remain or bo Immediately withdrawn
appears to be a matter ot which Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, tho American chargo
d'affaires, himself, Is uncertain. Tho
staff of the embassy Is ready to leavo
at a moment's notice' and little surprise,
would be felt here, si though much alarm
would be caused, In case Mr, O'Shaugh
nessy nnd Kls establishment should tako
the evening train to Vera Crux.
Thcro was considerable gossip In polit
ical circles today ot further changes tn
the Mexican cabinet. .
General Aurellano Dlanquet, the minis
ter of war, Is said to have had a mis
understanding with President Ituert
which may cause him to leave his post.
With the departure of Manuel Uarxn,
Aldalpe, lata minister of tho interior,
foreigners hero feel the cablnejt has lost
one of its most level-headed men, an
official whoso moderation could be de
pended on. Ills successor has 'not yet
been chosen.
In the meantlmt. General Huerta, s
proceeding with hUHrliiKL organ!
the new congress, regardless of tho noUco
glyetfio him by John JJnd that serious)
conkoqusnces would follow such a step.
Ths chamber or deputies was ordered
to hold A session today for the purpose,
ot revlslnc the credentials ot Its mem
bers. Unless the United States finds a
means to bring about alteration ot tho
present plans, th first regular meeting
of that house will occur on Thursday.
The exodus of foreigners, especially
Americans, continued today. The trains
to Vera Cruz wero Jammed. It was as
serted at tho American embassy that no
now Instructions had been received.
Many American cltlsens have reached
hero from smaller towns In tho Interior
of Mexico. A number of business con
cerns hers whoso headquarters are abroad,
have received cable Instructions to send
ths women and children ot their em
ployes out ot the federal capital,
All the ministers of foreign countries
are still hero and It Is not anticipated
any of them will leave their posts even In
casa" of Intervention.
Admiral Von Illntze, the German min
ister, declared today that he believed.
there was no reason for anxiety. "A plan
is being considered," he said, "by which,
armed intervention will almost sorely be
avoided."
llprrtn im Snre to Go.
WASHINGTON, Nov. ll.-Presldent
Wilson does not regard the Mexican st-,'
uatlon as having reached any such
critical stage as to require tho closing
of the American embassy. Discussing re
ports to that effect today he said Chargo
O'Shaughnessy neither had been given
his passport nor had he been told to corns
back. Whllo details as to persons had
changed, yet the main circumstances re
mained substantially the same as when
the president previously expressed a
