NO CHOICE IN THE
MEXICAN ELECTION
-------------
t
I .
Insufficient Votes C tst to Con*
stitute Legal Successor to
President Huerta.
Mexico City.— At tha close o f th «
Mexican election Indications were that
not sufficient votes had been cast to
constltut« a legal choice for the presi­
dency to succeed General Victoriano
Huerta.
It was estimated. Judging from tho
results In the capital, where It waa
expected the vote would be np to tho
average, that few er than 10,000 of tho
80,000 eligible voters In the federal
district went to the polls. There aro
about 3,000,000 eligible voters In th#
entire republic. It wowld bo no s e r
prise If congress, the members of
which also were voted for, declared
the election void when the body Is or­
ganized and revises the returns.
Tbe leaders of the Catholic party
claimed a long lead for their candi­
dates, F rederic« Gamboa and General
Rascón. If this claim is correct. It
Is generally thought that General
Felix Diaz and Señor Requena ran
second.
There was no disorder In Mexico
City. The polling places opened at 9.
The election offlclala appeared to be
a representative class o f cltlsens. So
far as could be ascertained, no gov­
ernment employes served in that ca­
pacity.
