Huds peth Also at Sea Girt New Yorker Mention ed for Treasurer. Sea Girt, 'N. J., July 5. Governor Wilson's mind is still "like an open book," tp quote him exactly, on his choice for chairman of the democratic national con mlttee. He said today that hi vould not decide the matter . nil the last minute. "With regard to things of that sort," he said, "I never make up my mind until I announce my decision. When there is a question like this to de cide, 1 listen to all arguments and then argue it In my own mind. Ai present my mind Is in the mldBt of the argument." William G. McAdoo of New York who has been mentioned as the possi ble choice of Gov. Wilson for treas urer of the committee, had a long conference during the forenoon. At its conclusion, the governor said Mr McAdoo s name had not been sug gested to him in that conneciion and that he had no choice at present for the place. Later In the day Governor Wilson had talks with Josephus Dan lele and Robert S. Hudspeth, national committeemen from North Carolina and -New Jersey, respectively. Inside Story of Illinois Break. The governor's private secretary Joseph Tumulty, told his chief today what he described as the Inside story of Illinois' change at Baltimore from Clark to Wilson.

Hudspeth or any one of half a doxen others mentioned for the place will have the preference Gover nor Wilson has not decided. The gov ernor will meet the committee July 15 in Chicago, stopping off en route probably at Indianapolis to take Gov ernor Marshall, his running mate, with him. There was much diversity of opin ion on the way up from Baltimore among the delegates as to who should be elected chairman. Mr. Lynch, who managed the cam paign of the late Governor Johnson of Minnesota, and Judge Wade of Iowa were frequently mentioned. It seemed to be the consensus of opin ion that a man who knows the party leaders and the field would make an Ideal leader. Borne of the members of the na tional committee deaired to meet in 'Mew York on July It for organiza tion, but after conferring with Gov ernor Wilson hihI after a new can vass of the committee. Chairman Mack announced that Chicago had been selected. Thomas Taggart of Indiana suggested that the meeting be held at French Lick at his ex pense. There wa much eurmlse as to Gov ernor Wllson'e choice for chairman. Mr. Hudspeth, who managed the east ern end of the campaigns In 1(04 and K0S, and a close friend of Gov ernor Wilson, was frequently men tioned, "Personally I am In favor of Mr. McCombs." Mr. Hudspeth said. "He baa managed the governor' campaign brilliantly so far and I see no reason why he should not continue to do so. It is a mistake to swap horses In midstream." A. Mitchell Palmer, another elose friend of the governor, who has been jiuoken of as chairman, ilao said Mr. McCombs Is his preference. "If the governor feels that I csn do nay good in this respect I will put Hside personal Inclinations, however great the sacrifice," declared Mr. Mc Combs, who wived late yesterday from Baltimore. Norman M, Mack, the retiring chairman, said thai under no rlrcum stances would hs entertain a thought -nf re-election. "Governor Wilson's choice will prevail," he added. Senator Tillman, Willard Snulibury and John I. Martin also called on the nomine.

General Salazar, com manding the Vanguard of the rebel army, have begun to loot and terror ize this region. The tension among Americans and foreigners increased today with imprisonment of General Store here, when he refused to give the rebels supplies. El Paso, July 5. The organized) revolution in Mexico was practically broken up by the defeated rebel army and In its place has been substi tuted guerrilla warfare which threat ens widespread damage in northwest ern Mexico. It is possible, however, that the rebel chief, Orozco, can gather his disorganized forces and again put up a semblance of opposi tion to the government, but It will not be for some time. A part of the rebel army is now marching to Jua rez, across the river from here, but it is expected they eventually will go to Casas Grandes, where the next battle, if one occurs, will be fought. The federal army Js greatly re tarded in its pursuit of the revolution ists by the destruction of railroad track, which it will take three days to repair. Chihuahua, July 5. The rebels who had occupied Chihuahua for nearly five months as their capital and base of operations, evacuated last night In the face of a rapidly moving column of federal cavalry, the van guard of General Huerta army which drove the rebels from Rich am ba. All day long the rebels retreated. Chihuahua with its nervous colony of foreigners was left untouched by the rebels. Troop h rains were sent through at full --peed by General Orozco to prevent looting and disor der. Preparations were made last night by the rebels to Isolate Chihuahua. All bridges were destroyed south of here during the day. The rebels will try to mobollze at Juarez, opposite El Paso and at Cas as Grandes, southeast of the Amer ican border on the Mexican North western, a strategic entrance to the state of Sonora.
