r f "lour developments in the Mexican
situation today postponed delivery of
President Wilson s special message
to congress until Wednesdav and In
m i dicated that the Hnerta government
after all, might withdraw or modify
its rejection of the proposals of the
Hi United Slates
i At the request of Senor Gamboa,
Mexican minister of foreign affairs,
jji which was based on supplementary
Oft suggestions b John Lind. adviser to
4 i the American embassy in Mexico
A City, President Wilson consented to
)i postpone his address to congress iin
1 til 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
It was officially stated in that con
I nectlon that in no case would the
f liniteJ States withdraw from the ba--J
sic principles of its position, para
mk mount among which is a consistent
1 1, refusal to recognize Huerta.
Official announcement was made of
the oritnnal proposals by the United
)i States presented to Huerta by Lind,
They were:
1 Cessation of hostilities and a
3 definite armistice.
2 An early and free election
r; Huerta to bind himself not to
be a candidate,
j 4 Agreement by all parties to I
Lblde by the results of the election.
On the proposals, the Huerta gov
ernment, at the last moment asked
!jB further time for consideration and on
Wk certain supplementary suggestions by
jSK Mr Lind, the nature of which Is not
lS being divulged here, the request for
a postponement was made
Lind Not to Leave Mexico City
White House officials positively
I t stated that Mr Lind had not been
In recalled from Mexico City and added
(y that if he had left for Vera Cruz it
would Ix? for only a short visit. He
Is expected to return to Mexico City
to continue the negotiations
jX Preparations at the capital, hurried
ly made for a join session of the
house and senate, were called off.
President Wilson's message, a doc-
Iument of about 4000 words, was
locked up In the White House vaults
await Ins the next developments. It
in generally understood that tho ines-
sage is very kind in tone towards
Mexico, outlines the American gov
ernment's policy, expresses generous
friendship for the Mexican people
m I and defines on the reason for Insist
ing on elections and the elimination
! of Huerta. Some of the message Is
" based on precedent set during the ,.)
w4 ministration of President Hayes,
when Poriflro Diaz became president
9 of Mexico. Though foreign govern
gjj men's reeognUed Dla, the United
Rl States waited a year, not ony until an
election was held, but k was satis
fled that the government thereby set
up could guarantee International con
J tracts.
President Haves' Action
The reference to this precedent led
to the belief that while It has bither
f to been supposed by Immediately fol
lowing an election held by Huerta
recognition would be extended, the
llklihood was that the United States
would not extend the hand of friend
ehlp to the existing government or Us
successor in Mexico for some time.
President Hayes in L877 saw fit to
order General 6rd to the border with
power to cross into Mexico with
N American troops to suppress maraud
ing bands who were plundering the
property of Americans and retreating
across the Rio Grande On that oc
casion the federal government had
been lax In giving border residents
protection but as soon as troops were
ordered south, the Diaz government
indignantly announced that the en
trance of any American soldiers into
Mexico would be regarded as an in
asion and an act of war
The lews of President Hacs as
expressed by Secretary Seward to
John W. Foster, American minister
to Mexico and from which President
Wilson takes precedent for his policy
61 today, were
"The government of the United
States in its dealings with the Mexi
can republic has aimed to pursue not
merely a Just but a generous and
lriendly course While earnest to
guard and protect the rights of its
own citizens and the safelv of Its own
territory, it does not seek to inter
vene in political contests or changes
of administration. It is accustomed
to accept and recognize the results of
la popular choice in Mexico and not:
scrutinize closely the regularity or lr- j
regularitv of the methods by which
presidents are Inaugurated.
Withhold Recognition.
"In tho present case, it waits before
recognizing General Diaz as the pres
ident of Mexico until it shall be as
sured that his election Is approved b
the Mexican people and that his ad
ministration s possessed of stability
to endure and of disposition to rum
nly with the rule of Interna tional
comity in the obligations of treaties
"Such recognition, if afforded,
would Imply something more than a
mere formal assent. It would Imply
a belief that the government so rec
ognized will faithfully execute its du
ties and observe the spirit of its
treaties. The recognition of a presi
dent In Mexico by the United States
has an important moral influence
which, as you explained. Is appreciat
ed at the capital of that republic
"It aids to strengthen the power
and lengthen the tenure of the Incum-U-n,
and, if, as von say. the example
of the United States Jn that regard
is one that other nations are disposed
to follow, such recognition would be
not without effect both on the in
ternal and external peace of Mexico
You justly remark that in fifty years
there have been about GO changes of
administration in Mexico and it may
be added that those administrations
have been longest lived that were
most friendly and faithful In the dis
charge of their treaty obligations to
the United States."

THAW MUST
KEEP STILL
Attorneys Shut Off
White Slayer From All
Interviews and Put an
End to His Publicity
Campaign Possi
bility of Long Drawn
Out Case
Sherbrooke, Quebec, Aug 26 Har
ry K Thaw's many lawyers, fearful
lest he hurt his ease witfi the erratic
conduct of his self-planned press
campaign, shut him off from all Inter
viewers today. They obtained from
the vsheriff an order to the governor
of Sherhrooke jail that no one should
see Thaw except In the presence of
some one of his counsel
The orders serves two purposes
First, It. prevents Thaw from giving
out more ramhling Interviews, except
surreptitiously, by messenger, sec
ond. It would circumvent any secret
attempt to obtain from him a state
ment in which he might inadverently
reveal something about the plot re
sulting in his release from Mattea
wan A cold rain kept the army of law
yers, newspaier men and others
brought here by the Thaw case, with
in doors today where foe and friend
swapped theories and predictions, and
mutually agreed that even now, ten
days after Thaw's break for liberty,
legal moves and against his return
were In a state of cbaos.
Although Thaw's counsel insists
that they will produce him In the su
perior court tomorrow morning on the
writ of habeas corpus and argue that
his detention in Sherhrooke on the
present commitment is illegal, It
would not surprise those who have
followed the ramifications of the case
if they should abandon the writ and
leave Thaw in his cell without fur
ther move until the opposition dls
cioses lus nanu.
Two captains of the Salvation
Army arrived here today from Mon
treal They said they had been sent
here to offer Thaw "spiritual consolj

May Be Lo-g Drawn Out.
The possibility of a long drawn out
fight in the courts over the constltu
tlonallty of Canada's drastic Immigra
tion act, under which it is proposed to
deport Harry K Thaw, was the fav
orite theme today of both factions
gathered at Sherbrooke.
Going over the situation informally
William T. Jerome and District Attor
ney Conger of Dutchess county, sat by
a roaring wood fire in the Magog
house, the storm center, since Thaw's
arrival, of nearly all conferences
about him
"I can't express an opinion on ev
cry theoretical defense suggested bv
Thaw's lawyerb," said Jerome ' We
hope to get him back to Matteawan
where he belongs, but it does look
as though we were In for a siege "
Thaw continued to show little in
tercet In anvthing except his public
ity plans He is mailing and tele
graphing statements to papers In
Vermont, where, notwithstanding all
the theories of court delav here he
apparently expects to be deported
"Gentleman. " Roger Thompson, has
not receded from his determination
not to "squeal" and tell about bis
driving Thaw from Matteawan in the
black car His threat last week to
tell all. resulted In the immediate em
ployment of counsel for him by tho
Thaw family, and In other ways Rog
er has been made so comfortable for
the time being that he prefers to sav
nothing.

as special counsel in several of
Thaw's attempts to establish his

"I don't know why I have been ask
