Not vi-n a good guess as to who Is at the top of puii tan be made at present. Returns even from nearby Miles are fragmentary. In the fedoral apital itself the results may be known in a day or two. At the lose of the elections the indications were that not sufficient votes had heen cast to constitute a legal rholce for the presidency to succeed General Victorlana Huerta. The ballots were cast without disorder.

No official announcement was made but it was estimated. Judging from the results in the capital, where it was xpected the vote would be up to the average, that less than 10.000 of the XO.00O eligible voters went to the polls. It would be no surprise if congress, the members of which also were voted for today, declared the election void when the body organised and revises the returns. Since the deputies and senators are not subject to the provisions governing the presidential elections, it is said the choice for congress is assured. It is assumed, on the showing so far as known, the Catholic party will obtain a hiajority in both chamber and senate.

ATHOI.IC CLUM I.KU). Leaders of the Catholic party claimed a long lead la tin presidential race, they were unable to estimate the number of votes polled for their candidates, Federico Gam boa and General Rascon. If this claim is correct. It is generally thought that General Felix I )lex and Senor Kequena ran second. The liberal candidates, Manuel 'ero and Flores Magon.

had no printed ticket at the polling places and their constituents were obliged to rite their names in blauk spaces. President Huerta spent the day at lilx Popotia suburban home. A decree will be Issued by General Huera Increasing the army from 83.000 men. Its allege' present cumber, to 130,000. General Huerta proposed such an Increase some time ago.

but the congress which lie dissolved limited him to ELECTION' JOKE TO tl.KRO. Manual Calero, the liberal ho one as ambassador at Washington, did not vote. Instead, he took his family early in the day Into the country. After he returned, he said: "I understand the voting was ex ceedingly dull. Nobody appears to be lieve in the seriousness of the election, On account of the political conditions many refused to vote.

1 myself did not vote. Had we had indirect balloting I would have done so. but since it was otherwise 1 did not care to cast a vote either for myself or any other candidate." FOR nrl'ONKM. Federico Gamboa. the candidate of the Catholic party, on the other hand, cast his ballot for Senor Calero.

Neither of these candidates cared to express an opinion as to whether a sufficient number of ballots had been deposited to make the elections effective. Few of those who went to the polls took the trouble to vote for either sen- ators or deputies. There was no semblance of disorder in any quarter of the city. A few patrols w-ere on the streets, but neither police nor troops had any but their usual duties to perform. The polling place opened at 9 o'clock in the morning and remained open until p.

27. According to of- flcial returns ef yesterday's election Huera obtained 1,540 of the 2,000 rotes cast here, Felix Diaz, 300, and the remaining votes scattered among other candidates. The last shred binding General Felix Diaz and General Victorlano Huerta was severed yesterday when General Dias telegraphed to the department of war his resignation as brigadier general of the army. The negotiations regarding his trip to Mexico City on the invitation of Huera ended by his flat refusal to accompany Colonel Vidaur- razaga. secretary to General Blanquet, war minister, giving as his reason the illness of his wife.

EVULAXD IS London. Oct. 27. Before taking any further steps in regard to Mexico, England will await the results of the elections in' that country and also information as to the policy of the United States.

The foreign office today informed the Associated Press that nothing would be done without consultation with the United States. President Wilson is expected to communicate with the British foreign secretary as soon as he determines a line of action. As recognition of Huerta by Great Britain lasts only until an election is ccncluded, she will then be fre to consider any proposals emanating from the United States, with which she desires to work in harmony. In spite of reports to the contrary, England has not initiated or participated in any exchange of views between the Eurcpean powers in regard to Mexico. Berlin, Oct 27.

MORALITY TO GOVERN SAYS NATHjNCHIEF President Sounds Motive That Will Govern Future Relations. MONEY INFLUENCE HIT Duty of United States to Aid Countries on This Hemisphere in Emancipation.

Mobile, Oct. 27. President Wilson announced to the world today that the governing motive of the United States in its relationships with countries on this hemisphere be "morality and not expediency." 'I want to take this occasion to say," he declared, "that the United States will not again seek to secure one additional foot of territory by conquest." The president in a speech before the Southern Commercial congress delivered a veiled attack on what he termed "the material interests" that had influenced the foreign policy of some governments in their relations with the nations of Latin America. Though Wilson did not mention Mex ico as the afflicted country he de- voted his entire speech to a descrip- foreign concessionaries had upon in ternal affairs of some Latin American countries. FINANCIAL POWER ARRAIGNED.

With the Mexican situation uppermost in the president's mind at this time, his address was interpreted as an arraignment of those financial influences which, it has been charged, have secured in some cases recognition for the Huerta government. The president declared it would be the duty of the. United States to assist th ff nations on this hemisphere so that yiey might enjoy constitutional llbegnitiertiaiiiwi." rz- GOISG TO BE DIFFERENT. The president spoke extemporaneously. "I came here," he said, "to speak of our present and prospective relations with our neighbors to the south.

The future is going to be very Cifferent for this hemisphere from what it has been in the past. Those states lying to the south which have always been our neighbors, will be drawn closer to each other by common ties of understanding. Interests do not tie nations together, it sometimes separates them. But sympathy and understanding do bind them together. You hear of concessions to foreign capital in Latin America, but you don't hear of concessions to foreign capital in the United States.

They are not granted concessions. They are invited to make investments. CONCESSIONS DANGEROIS. "It is an invitation, not privilege, and states that are obliged to grant concessions are in a condition that foreign Interests are apt to dominate their domestic affairs. Such a condition of affairs is apt to become intolerable and it is emancipation from this invitable subordination which we deem it our duty to assist in.
