The attorney general is said to take the attitude that the New York pa pers are in proper form and that it is' unnecessary for the Governor to go below their-surface into an inquiry into the facts of the case on which they -are based. . But . Governor Felker. who is him self a lawyer, is understood" to at tach importance to obtaining further information . on . the reported indict ment of Thaw by the Dutchess coun ty (N. Y.) grand jury for conspiracy. No indictment has been made public, but William Travers Jerome said in arguing on New York's petition for extradition that an indictment had been found: but kept secret at his re quest. It is said that unless the Gov ernor learns more definitely just' what attitude has been taken by the Dut chess .grand jury, he probably will de fer his decision. ...

A 'divi sion, of opinion is said to exist among Governor Felker's advisers as to whether he should honor the request of the State of New York-for the ex traditing of Harry K. Thaw.

Believes He Has Achneved. Guarantee , of Fair Elections in " Mexico and the v . - Elimination of Huerta. ; Washington, Sept!' 25. President Wilson today took the position that the policy of morar suasion adopted by the United ; States toward Mex ico v had accomplished its two cardi nal purposes to obtain assurances that there would be a constitutional election, and that Provisional Presi dent Huerta would not be a candidate to succeed himself. ' ' It wassaid that Provisional Presi dent Hierta would support Fredeirico Gam boa.; nominee of the . Catholic party, encouraged . President Wilson and Secretary Bryan to believe the Huerta government was carrying out what the " United States had .empha sized as the essential features of a satisfactory settlement of -the 'revolu tionary troubles. The President realizes-, it will not be -immediately possible to judge whether, the election is actually con stitutional and will withhold decision as tb" whether the choice of that elec tion will be recognized by the United States.' : Doubt as to tne value of the coming election as expressing the will of the Mexican people was cast by constitu tionalists, at headquarters here today in the issuance of a statement saying its supporters, extending over many Mexican.

It was pointed out by offi cials today that Mexican law would hold . the approaching election consti tutional it a majority or tne polling precincts were shown to have been in legal : operations. Consuls throughout the republic will report to the State Department their opinion of the fair ness of the election arid if the elec tion is recognized, the policy of neu trality between the factions would be declared ended and the United States by exportation of arms would lend its moral support to the new government. President. Wilson, discussing the situation " with callers, spoke of , the practical difficulties of a constitutional election .in Mexico at present, but re garded with satisfaction the seeming ly determined effort of the authorities in Mftxico ' Citv to comDly with the suggestions of the United "States.

Gamboa's " candidacy, nevertheless, caused mueh discussion in official cir cles, and doubt. It -was pointed out bv administration officials that the Catholic party always has been the minority party in Mexico oecause most Mexicans had ODDOsed the idea of a Catholic political party as leading, to a reunion of Church and State. With keen interest official Wash ington is waiting to see whom the liberals will name, oianuei uaiero, former ambassador to the United States under the Madero regime, is regarded here as a likely choice. A feeling of relief that the situation was adiustins: . itself was apparent here today. From high administration officials came the statement that no change in orders had oeen sent to consuls about Americans leaving Mexico. President Wilson still is urg ing those in troubled zones to depart, offering them pecuniary assistance. A. &. MV HAS 604 STUDENTS. More than 300 New Men This Year Class to International Stock Show.

Three important matters still are at issue. The tariff rates on cotton yarns and cotton cloths and on lead and zinc ores and the dates when free raw wool and changes in the woolen goods tariff shall become effective. Members of the conference commit tee could" not predict tonight how soon an agreement could be reached. With the aid of experts they spent the afternoon going over the cotton sched ules and calculating the effect on the woolen industry of the proposed changes. Both Houses of Congress gave up hope, of a-report from the, conference committee tomorrow, the House" ad journing until -Saturday and the Sen ate until Monday. ; There, were rumors today of strong" opposition to the report that might develop in the House on the ground that Republicans had not been taken into, the conferences that worked out the details of.the measure. If such op position appears, it probably . would take the form of a point of order against the report on the ground that it , contains matter inserted without authority by the conference' commit tee.
