HUERTA WILL QUIT Blanquet Spoken of as His Successor Death Plot Against Feliz Diaz Rumored, By Associated Press Washington, Oct. 13. Possibilities of Provisional President Huerta's imr mediate retirement commanded fore most attention In the Mexican situa tion here today and admin' tratlon officials were waiting advices to sup plement those of late yesterday, which suggested very strongly that Mexico's provisional president had been deter red only for lack of agreement on a man to succeed him. General Blanquet, minister of war, one of the group who acted with Hu erta In the downfall of Madero, was mentioned as a successor, but not approved here. Diplomatists also were of opinion that Blanquet was Ineligible because he was born In Spain and the Mexican constitution demands a na tive born. Whether Blanquet could relieve the situation with the United States also was a question discussed. Reports of Huerta's impending re tirement, rumors ; of death plots against Felix Diaz, a rival presidential candidate, and the attitude of foreign governments, which already have re cognized Huerta,: and some of which are regarded as sympathizing with the position ot theV " nlWdr -tatt '-all- served to make the present situation more complex. Lack of -Advices. . No messages had been , received early- today , bearing any reference whatever to the rumors that Huerta had placed his resignation before the cabinet. Two long cablegrams from Charge O'Shaughnessy reaching here before daylight described, only general conditions In - the Mexican capital, making no predictions. Despite the lack of advices, how ever, there was a feeling of confidence In administration circles that Huerta was being pressed by his friends to retire. Officials here admitted a change in administration it) Mexico City was expected. , The attitude of Great Britain, ac cording to those who know the views of the Washington administration, is causing some concern. American officials showed some disappointment today on learning that Sir Lionel Car den presented his credentials to Huer ta the day after the former had pro claimed himself as dictator. It had been constantly expected here that. In line with earlier advices. Great Britain had extended recognition to Huerta as provisional president pending an elec tion that he would not now be re garded us a constitutional ruler In view of his nullification of constitu tional restrictions. It Is possible that diplomatic In quiries may be made through Ambas sador Page as to the Intentions of the British foreign office. President Wilson went off to the golf links early, as. Is his week-end custom, and Secretary Bryan was out of the city. Insurgents Ousted. Douglas.

S. Pending . Special Inquiry. HER PRISON RECORD BEING INVESTIGATED Board To Determine if Convic tion in England Was for , Crime Involving Mor- ri al Turpitude. By Associated Press. New York, Oct. 18. Mrs. Emellne Pankhurst, the English militant suf fragette leader, who arrived here to day for a lecture tour, was ordered deported by the Immigration author ities within a little less than three hours after the vessel upon which she came had docked. The special board of inquiry which decided her case voted not to admit 1 her to the country under bond, but to send her back to France forthwith. Mrs. Pankhurst's lawyer, Herbert Reeves, announced his intention of appealing the case immediately to Commissioner General Camlnettl. Pending decision by Mr. Camlnettl, Mr. Reeves said he would seek to have his client admitted to this country under bond so that she may be able to fulfill her engagement to speak at Madison Square garden tomorrow night. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, the New York woman suffrage leader, who waa to have been Mrs. Pankhurst's host, was prepared to give bond up to (100,000 for Mrs. Pankhurst's good behavior" while - In- America. Under" the ruling of the special board she will not be permitted to do so and . Mrs. Pankhurst must remain at Ellis Island until - deported, unless ; the board's findings are reversed by the authorities at Washington. Mrs. Pankhurst's deportation was ordered under section 2 of the im migration law. This section provides . for the exclusion of persons convicted abroad of a crime or crimes involv ing moral turpitude. The board held that Mrs. Pankhurst's convictions in England of conspiracy to commit ar son were within this class. The ynilitant leader's case moved with unexcelled celerity. She was terrogated by immigration inspectors on board the liner Provence, upon which she made thet rip from Havre, was detained but a few minutes aboard the vessel when It docked, was rushed in a special tug to the detention station at Ellis island and taken Immediately before the special board of inquiry there. Her examination by this board lasted little over an hour and she was not represented by counsel. Mrs. Pankhurst told the immigration offi cials that her purpose in coming to America was not tq advocate the mil itant method for obtaining suffrage but to lecture on the history and progress of the cause In England. New York, Oct. 18. Mrs. Emme- line Pankhurst, English militant suf fragette leader who arrived in New York today, was denied admission to the country until a special board of inquiry could determine whether her prison record In England was such that she should be excluded from the United States. Mrs. Pankhurst was detained aboard the liner Provence when H docked. A special tug was commis sioned tq take her to Ellis Island. She was placed aboard and taken to tho immigration station there. A special board of Inquiry set Itself to determine If Mrs. Pankhurst's con viction In England was for a crime involving moral turplture. Persona convicted of crimes Involving moral turpitude are excluded by the immi gration act. To Inspectors who questioned her aboard the Provence, Mr Pankhurst asserted that her conviction waa for a political . offense and that it was generally understood that her sen tence had expired when she left England ' for France, although she had not been so notified formally. For a quarter of an hour before she landed, the militant leader was questioned by Immigration Inspectors in the white and gold music room of the liner. A curious crow of passengers, eager to learn the dis position of her case, trooped la through the doors and pressed the two score newspaper reporters for ward until they surrounded the little group. Rheta Child Door, Mrs. Pankhurst's traveling companion, sought to sit beside the militant lead er during the hearing, but this the Inspectors would not permit, exam ining Mrs. Pankhurst alone. Progress Here Remarkable. "I am not coming to America to tell American women how to get the vote," Mrs. Pankhurst announced when the inspectors had left her. "Tbey appear abundantly able to manage their own campaign. Their progress has been remarkable and they need no foreign leareshlp." There was no touch of militancy (Continued on page 9) I
