Of GIVES JOURNAL AN INTERVIEW George Green Is Now Getting Affairs In Shape For Vacating. It will probably be the hrst of the coming year before Col. P. M. Pearsall, who is tovsucceed George Green as clerk of the Federal Court in the New Bern district, will assume charge-of the office and in the meantime Mr. Green will remain in charge. Col. Pearsaf!, when interviewed yes terday by a Journal reporter, stated that he had some legal matters to attend to which would consume several weeks and that unless Mr. Green so 'desired that he would not take charge of the office just at present. In addition to this, the October term of Federal court just came to a close last Saturday and there is always a great deal of work for the clerk on the first few weeks following the close of a term of court and Mr. Green will have his hands full for some time. Naturally he desires to leave the office in excellent condition and to do this he will be compelled to spend several weeks in compiling the records of the recent term of court. Col. Pearsall is being congratulated upon all sides 'upon his appointment to this office. In addition to being a staunch Democrat and an ardent work er for -the party, he is a gentleman of ability and will capably fill the office of -which he is soon to assume charge.

At eight o'clock tonight Murphy and Tammany leaders conceded that McCall was beaten, the only question remaining being as to the size of the majority. The major ity may reach 100,000. This is a knockout blow to Tammany and may mean the resignation of Charles F. Murphy, the present chief. With his back to the wall Murphy fought to the last ditch realizing that defeat meant ruin. The fusion leaders are jubilant. Little was learned as to the situation in the State contests, but it is believed that the next Assembly will be Re publican.

The under current of conversation at. the national palace tonight carried rumors regard ing President Huerta's demand that he retire, but the President himself was silent. Huerta's intimates are familiar with the term.i of the demands,-which they regard as practically mandatory. The communication stites that unless Huerta retires immediately, and there after has nothing to do witli the con duct bf affairs or the formation of a new government, the President of the United States will issue an ultimatum, which, if rejected, will cause him ro call upon Congress to authorize him to use sterner methods. In the memorandum it is impressed upon General Huerta that his complete retirement is the only step which will be acceptable.
