In Mexico Confirms Wilson -Administration Convert In With-;' holding Rorognintlon ' ' ' Huertu Set's Mistake. WASHINGTON', Oct. 16. United States government of Hclnls' today ex pressed their entire satisfaction over the decision of foreign diplomats at Mexico City, recommending that their various governments send war ships to Mexican water-, with r, view to quieting the internal troubles of the republic. It is felt in Washing ton that recent developments have completely vindicated the Wilson nd ministration's attitude of disapproval toward iHuerta. Officialdom here could hardly conceal its ciatificatlon over the fact that those governments who huvo previously recognized Hu erta's administration are now com pelled to admit that the view taken of the situation by the United State was correct. : Huerta Spare For Favors. MEXICO CITY, Oct. 16. Alarmed "by the universal disapproval of his conduct as expressed by the entire diplomatic corps, Huertu was so chns ene.d that today . attempted to ex plain his delay In answering the se vere notes sent him by Wilson and Bryan, and which concerned his ac tion In placing in prison members of the chamber of deputies, and then proclaiming himself dictator. Huor ta nlletred that he had not -creived the notes officially. Diplomas now believe that Huerta will respect the iuei-?age conveyed and ovoid forcing a crisis. Huerta said lhat he wr.s greatly disturbed over the decision asking that the powers send war ships to .Mexican waters. Ninety .More SurvivorH. NEW YORK, Oct. 16.

ALL 'OVER BUT THE VOTING Final littlhit Oeruis La to This Kvcu iK or Tomorrow Mfmner of Omit Sws Xo Hope tor (ioveriior. ALDAN Y, N. Y., Oct. 10. By ballot on the first article of tho impeachment, chargipg that ne fiied a false statement of campaign expenses, Sulzer was found guilty, late this after- noon. ALBANY, N. Y., Oct. 16. That the Sulzer Impeachment court con siders its work practicably done and all of the articles of impeachment disposed of, and oniy the final vote remaining to be taken, was unoffic ially suited by a .member of the court at the close of the forcnuon's executive session today. Because most of the members of the court wish, however, to repeat the argu ments presented in executive session, in order that they mnv go on the of ficial records, It Is said that the final vote would probably not be reached until very late today, and possibly not before tomorrow. The impeach ment court met in executive session at 10:30, and following this session ad journed until 3 p. ni., when, it was announced, tho hearing would be re Bumad publicly. Tho general opin ion la that Sulzcr's removal from the governor's office is a mntiininaticul certainty, ns the prosecution has two thirds of the votes. This fact was demonstrated last night when a bal lot was taken In the cunt ro veiny con cerning the first char up in the ar ticles of impeachment, hi which Sul zer is accused of filing f.lso state ments regarding his rmnpatgn ex penses. At this time 3ft votes were cast against Sulzer one more than Too Tired to In enforced efforts to spread out our stiffened legs over the last reaches, there was left no longer sufficient energy at camping times to erect snow shelters.

On this basis, thero is absolutely no hope for the; governor winning his finht. ! It Is understood that when re-1 cess was ordered this afternoon that; more than two thirds of the members; of the court stood against Sulzer on! at least three charges.
