WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-President

of issuing it today, but just before
noon it was announced that the state-

The statement is said to be informa-

States might withdraw Charge Nelson

It was intimated last night at

reived the note in time to give it
consideration. This, however, did
appear to Mr. Lind a valid excuse

CITY OF MEXICO. .Nov. 13-General
Victoriano Huerta tacitly refused last
night to accede to the demand^ of tiie
United States, expressed in an ultima-
tum sent to him by President Wilson's
personal representative, John Lind.
Gen. Huerta was notified early yes-
terday that unless he returned an an-
swer by 6 o'clock last evening to the
effect that he would prevent the newly
elected congress from convening and,
furthermore, make this action known
to the members of the diplomatic
corps by midnight, the United States
would have no further parleying with
the Mexican government.
Lind Sees No Reason to Wait.
Mr. Lind waited until 6 o’clock and
received no answer. He then made ar-
rangements for his departure on a train
leaving for Vera Cruz at 8 o’clock. It
was announced, however, that General
Huerta had one more chance—that if
he took the action demanded by mid-
night the fact that he failed to reply
to Mr. Lind within the time specified
would be overlooked. Mr Lind could
see no reason to suppose that Huerta
intended to accede.
Ultimatum Delivered.
Nelson O’Shaughnessy, the Charge,
was the messenger who delivered the
ultimatum. He was unable to get into
personal touch with Gen. Huerta, but

BILL THROUGH IS ABANDONED
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13—The attempt
to force the Administration currency
bill through the Senate by way of the
Democratic caucus was abandoned late
yesterday and the Banking and Cur-
rency Committee of the Senate was
given time for further consideration of
the bill. A practical agreement by six
Democratic Senators, half of the com-
mittee, and hope for a final Republi-
can within five or six days, was re-
ported to ttie Democratic conference
when it met yesterday by Senator Owen
and at his request the conference took
no action.
Since the call for the conference was
issued, Senators Reed and O’Gorman
had joined Chairman Owen and Sena-
tors Pomerene, Shafroth and Hollis,
supporters of the Administration meas-
ure, despite their votes against gome
of its provisions in the committee.
These six Democrats have virtually
agreed on a bill which meets the views
of President Wilson. This measure
will be taken before the Senate as
soon as possible.
A further attempt to swing Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska in line with his
Democratic colleagues was made in a
meefing of Democrats of the committee
after the conference, but Senator
Hitchcock insisted that he could not
reconsider his views to coincide with
the demands of the President. Today
the full committee. Democrats and Re-
publicans, will meet and another at-
tempt will be made to secure an agree-
ment among a majority .
If this fails it is probable that the
Democrats and Republicans will make
an unanimous report on those details of
the bill which all approve and then
submit supplementary reports showing
the Senate their disagreement on the
fundamentals of the bill .The Repub-
licans and Senator Hitchcock have an-
nounced their determination to stand
out to the last for the public owner-
ship of the regional banks in the new
system and for Government control of
these banks.
Yesterday’s conference was in ses-
sion but about half an hour. Senator
Owen made a statement of the situation
in the committee and said that six of
the seven Democrats were in practical
agreement.”? He declared it his belief
that five or six days more would give
the committee time to frame a report.
V ithouf further discussion the confer-
ence agreed to adjourn subject to the
call of the chairman.*_______________________________
