WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. The
election did not cu'ingc things much
in Mexico, no far as ndiniuistrntiou
officials here could see today.
It wiih plain Hint not enough voIcm
wcro cnsi 10 mcjri wtmiuuiioiml re
quirement. CiiiriC(Ucutly no presi
dential candidate could he conxidcrcd
victorious.
That meant thnt (icneral llucrtn
would remain in office until lie called
nnothcr election, which might not be
for ycnni.
It wiih just what wni expected.
Klectlon Imnlltl
McHsngcH from Mexico City nidt
however, that Ihe dictator would de
clare tho members of congress duly
elected. Thin will be irrcgulnr, since
tho election in 11 it hnvo been invalid
as to congressmen, if it wiih invalid
iih to president.
Nevertheless, it is what Hucrtn in
tends to do. With n congreiH under
his control to regularize hi nets, his
position will be more tecure.
Tho election was orfcclly quiet.
It was nlso 11 farce. No voting wax
done in tho districts under rebel con
trol. The rebel lenders said it would
be ridiculous. In ninny plnccH tin?
nnny officcm voted for the soldiers
without troubling to open the polln.
Tho voto was very light everywhere.
To ltcfmo Itecognltlon
It was clearly understood that the
Washington administration would
not recognize Huerta, despite the
election, nor tho Mexican congress if
it is irregularly constituted. Tho ad
ministration's policy was said to be
fully mapped out, but it will not be
lunde public until President Wilson
in Mobil 0 today gives tho word.
Wilson mndo n strong i-pcecli in
Mobile, saying tho United Stutc-i
seeks no moro territory nud thnt
other nations, too, must keep hands
off in tho western hemisphere.
Tlio diplomatic corns in Mexico
City was understood to bo planning
n meeting this week to demand
American intervention in Mexico. If
such a demnud is made, it was be
lieved here, that President Wilson
will acquiesce.

Fighting was still in progress at
Monterey.
