Situation
ENCOURAGING NOTES
ON THE SITUATION
COME FROM MEXICO
General Conviction Is That Lull in
Diplomatic Exchanges Will Be
Beneficial lo All Concerned.
Lind to Use His Own
Discretion
XYnnli Ington. Angust 2».—President
\VII*on left Wafthlugton late today for
* the mi miner capital at Cornlsli, JV. H„
■till hopeful of favorable cnlitilnailoii
of the n<>gotlatlonN undertaken by this
country to bring about peace in Mex
ico. •
Although no affirmative action on
either side had been reported up to the
time of the President's departure, en
couraging dispatches were received from
Nelson O'Shaughnessey, in charge of the
American embassy at Mexico City, bear
ing on the general situation. These
reached the President a few hours be
fore train time and led him to determine
upon a short rest over Labor day.
Nothing in the advices from Mexico
City gave the administration officials
cause for particular anxiety and it was
the general conviction that a lull in the
diplomatic exchanges would be beneficial
to ail concerned. The President, it is
known, feels that good may come from
an opportunity for the position of this
government, as announced in his mes
sage of Wednesday to “sink In.”
Excitement subsiding over the ex
change of proposals and replies would, It
was believed, lead to further negotiations
between the officials of Mexico City and
Mr. John Lind, the personal representa
tive of this government.
Use Own Discretion
Mr. Lind, it. was asserted tonight, had
been instructed from Washington to con
tinue to act at Ills own discretion as to
whether he should await developments
at Vera Cruz or return to Mexico City.
Up to a late hour dispatches had been
received at the state department from
Mr. Lind. Secretary Bryan said before
' ins •'nr an ovrrnlfch* trip.’** petjiisyb
1 vania, that lie believed the envoy would
remain in Vera Crui tonight. Early in
tic' day Air. Bryan conferred with the
President over the reply of Senor Gam
boa. Mexican Secretary of foreign affairs,
to Mr. Lind e second note. They also con
sidered a message sent by Mr. Lind to
Washington yesterday afternoon. That
these latest Communications gave reason
,for hopeful expectations was freely ad
mitted.
Mr. Lind, it was reported, probably
would make the next move in the negotia
tions which the President emphatically
asserted in ids message had not been
closed and <*ould be resumed on the ini
tiative'of either nation. The fact that the
Mexico City officials in their second note
of reply had readied from the demand
for an exchange of accredited ambassa
dors. it was pointed out. left an opening
for future moves. The view expressed
that the Gamboa reply to the second
American note might actuate Mr. IJnd
to address a third note to the officials of
the Huerta government. Acting at his
own discretion, it was suggested that the
American representative might forward
a message to Mexico City from Vera
Cruz before determining upon going to
the Mexican capital In person for a re
newal of direct negotiations.
Discuss Situation
P.cfore deciding to go to Cornish, Pres
ident Wilson discussed the situation at
■ length with cabinet officers and arrange
ments were made whereby lie could he
notified at once of any developments.
Should anything happen to require his
presence in Washington before Tuesday
he planned to return at a moment's no
tice. Mr. Tumulty, secretary to the Pres
ident, remained in Washington tonight to
be in direct touch with developments,
planning to go to his New Jersey, home
tomorrow, however, upon the return of
Secretary Bryan.
Hundreds of telegrams and letters
readied the White Mouse today from nil
parts of the country, expressing approval
of President Wilson's message on Mexi
co. These were not made public, but tlie
President 1s known to have been highly
gratified at the sympathetic reception his
course had received.
Lind's Action Significant
Mexico City. August 29.—The failure
of John Lind, personal representative
of President Wilson, to return to the
capital from Vera. Cruz is taken here
to indicate that Washington and Mex
ico are agreed on one thing at least,
namely, that there is no good to be
accomplished by the trip. Mr. Lind is
at ill in Vera Cruz. The Mexican gov
ernment lias made no further proposal
or concession to the United States. It
Is considered here that the next move
must be made by Washington.
Officials here today viewed the sit
uation more brightly because of the
flotation of 12,000,000 pesos loan, whic h
was taken by three local hanks, the
National, the Bank of London and Mex

MONUMENTAL JOKE
O’Neal’s Advisers View Re
port as “Much Ado
About Nothing”
CLAYTON SITUATION
REMAINS UNCHANGED
Governor Not Hurrying Home—No
News From Washington Relative
to Clayton—A Huge Joke,
Say O’Neal’s Advisers
By L. S. BETTY
Montgomery, August 2!).—-(Special.)
Governor O’Neal this afternoon tele
graphed his private secretary, Klrk
man O'Neal, for an explanation of the
rumor circulated at the capitol yes
terday that he would return to Ala
bama and call a special session of the
legislature for the purpose of tilling
the vacancy In the Seuate. The gover
nor's telegram was In answer to one
sent him today by Ills secretary In
forming him of the report.
Governor O’Neal telegraphed his sec
retary as follows: “Have heard noth
ing of rumor circulated around cap
itol. Wire day letter explaining. Leave
tonight."
This Is the only message received
at the exeutive office from Governor
O’Neal since he left Montgomery last
Friday.
Klrkman O’Neal tonight sent the
governor a long night telegram ex
plaining in detail the rumor, and add
ing that the report was generally ac
cepted as a joke.
Regarding the governor's statement
that he was leaving tonight, his son and
secretary was unable to say whether
he Is returning home or going to some
other place, as he had originally in
tended.
Montgomery, August 29.— (Special.)
Traced to its ultimate source, and
stripped of all persiflage or portentious
significance, the rumor started in semi
official circles at the capitol Thurs
day to the effect that word had been
received that Representative Henry D.
Clayton would not be seated as a mem
ber of the Fnited States Senate, and
that as a consequence Governor O'Neal
would Immediately call a special session
of the legislature, originated in the
mind of a state official as a monu
mental J-oke, and as »uwh was free1*"
passed among the numerous depart
ment heads.
So far as could be ascertained to
day Governor O’Neal lias neither con
fided to his personal secretaries, nor to
any member of the official family at
the capitol that he has the least inten
tion of calling a special session of the
legislature. If he has determined upon
this course since going to Colorado
Springs to attend the governors’ con
ference, he has not made known his
plans to any of his close personal ad
visers in Montgomery.
Since the governor left here last Fri
day no one at the capitol has heard
from him, not even his secretaries, and
the report that he intends to hurry
homo for the purpose of calling the
legislature together is believed to be
entirely without foundation. His son,
Kirk man O’Neal, who is the governor’s
private secretary, declared that there
was absolutely no truth in the report,
and said that the governor would re
main away from the state as long an
he had originally intended.
Brickell Not Advised
Attorney General Robert C. Brickell
declared that so far as he knew no In
formation had been received from
Washington relative to Mr. Clayton’s
chances of being seated since the gov
ernor left, and denied emphatically any
knowldege of a special session of the
legislature being called. The attorney
general did admit, however, that the re
port reached his ears on Thursday that
a special session would be called, but
declared that he knew the official wPWo
circulated the rumor to be joking.
Daniel W. Troy, special counsel for
the state and one of the governor’s
close personal friends and advisers,
was as confident as Mr. Brickell that
the report was without foundation, and
denied that he had had any intimation
from the governor, or from Washing
ton, that a special session of the legis
lature would be called.
“I ^ave strongly advised Governor
O’Neal that he has authority to order a
special election,” said Special Counsel
Troy, “and I am convinced he will adopt
this course should the Senate refuse to
seat Representative Clayton.”
Report a “Joke”
Judge John P&lham, associate justice
of the court of apepals, and one of the
governor’s closest personal friends, also
denied that he had received any authentic
Information that the governor would call
a special session of the legislature, though
admitted that he had heard the rumor cir
culated in “semi-official” circles Thurs
day. Judge Pelham further admitted that
he understood that the report was a
“joke.”
However, Judge Pelham thinks .that
should the Senate refuse to confirm the
appointment a special session would prove
the more certain method of filling the va
cancy. It Is believed that he would ad
vise the governor to adopt this course,

Alabama Merchants Will Get Still More Cordial Reception Next Time
CONGRESS MAY SEE
CHANGES AS RESULT
OF SENATORIAL RACE
Five Congressmen Consid
ered Possibilities When
People Decide Contest
UNDERWOOD HAS NOT
YET MADE UP MIND
Hobson, Clayton, Heflin and Aber
crombie All Have Gars to the
Ground to Listen to the
Rumblings
BV C. E. STEWART
Washington, August 29.—(Special.)—The
wav politics is shaping up things for the
senatorial contest in Alabama for the
long term, beginning March, 1915, the Six
ty-fourth Congress is liable to see many
changes in Alabama’s delegation to
Washington.
At least five of Alabama's Congressmen
have the senatorial bug, and if they get
Into the scramble for the Senate, but one
can be elected, and the other four will in
the natural order of things be left at the
switch and also at home. They can’t run
for Congress and the Senate also, and the
minute they become active in the race for
the Senate, some greedy constituent who
has been watching their seats for months
and maybe years with much anxiety, will
be after their congressional cinch and at
the same time closing the road to Wash
ington for good on the present incumbom,
so far that route Is concerned.
The Possible Candidates
The five members of Congress who may
become candidates for the long term are:
Representative Hobson, already a candi
date; Representative Clayton, appointed
by Governor O’Neal to till out Senator
Johnston's unexpired term, who has also
announced that he will be in the fight for
the. long term; Representative Hslliu,
who has practical!}’ dec'ared that he will
be a candidate;. Representative Aber
crombie, who insists that if anything Is
done to muddy the water as to Ills con
gressional seat from the state at large by
redistricting the state, he is sure to run
for the Senate, and Representative Un
derwood, who will not make up his mind
whether he will get into the contest until
the tariff and currency legislation is dis
posed of.
This leaves five of the delegation undis
turbed. Representatives Burnett, Black
mon, Dent, Taylor and Richardson, with
the exception «>f the latter, who Is not in
Washington, all admit that they lv ve
“not been urged to run for the Senate,”
and they all feel reasonably sure that
they can hold on to what they now have
and have wisely concluded that they will
give a correct imitation of doing mo.
Views m Washington
The senatorial race as viewed by Ala
bamians here privately expressed and not
for quotation—that is. all those who will
express views at all. and who are not
directly interesteri—that is to say. who are
not embryonic candidates, is, that either
Representatives Clayton or Heflin in a
race with Representative Hobson would
win But with Clayton and Heflin and
Hobson in a three-cornered *lght the re
sults would be in great doubt with tlie
chances favoring Hobson. Abercrombie
has not been figured In ns n-» one be
lieves that he is going to run. but that he
will be a candidate again for Congress
from the state at large.
On the other hand, tlie general opinion
Is that if# Mr. Underwood gets into the
contest, he will win regardless of who
the other candidates may be, or how
many there are.
Mr. Underwood is perfectly frank re

Orleans tomorrow. Fourteen others on

CLAYTON TO CAUSE
A HARO LEGAL FIGHT
Arguments Favoring Gov.
O’Neal’s Action Pro
voke Considerable
Discussion
Washington, August 29.—(Special.)—Just
what the next move in the Clayton case
will be or when, could not be ascertained,
today. The committee on privileges and
elections of tlie Senate is to study the
briefs before it and ts waiting to give
either those who believe that the gover
nor of Alabama had the right to appoint
or those who believe otherwise an oppor
tunity to be heard.
Several prominent republican senators
today admitted that the case presented a
Very interesting legal problem. One re
publican member of the privileges and
elections committee declared that there
was no doubt but what there was an
overwhelming majority of the Senate in
the beginning who were of the opinion
that. Governor O'Neal had no right to
make ari appointment. He declared, how
ever, that the arguments had to a con
siderable extent shaken this conviction
and that practically all admitted now
that it was at least a debatable ques
tion.
To start with almost the entire Senate
believed that tlie third clause was sim
ply a protection to the members of the
Senate, whoever they might be, when the
amendment went into effect. The question
that it was not only to protect a sen
aor but also to protect his term and leave
the old system operative, until the sena
torial terms of every senator elected prior
to the pussoge of the amendment had
expired, it is admitted was not consid
ered. There can be no question but what
the advocates of the right of Senator
Clayton to bis seat have made an im
pression, apd that the interesting ques
tion will be the subject for much heavy
legal application of the mind for the
next few weeks in Washington.
When the question finally reaches the
floor of the Seriate as it probably will
a long add protracted discussion is sure
to follow. Final action, according to the
opinion of those who ought to know is
extremely remote.
