Probably 35,000 will be on hand. There was renewed hope in the American quartet, due to a change i in the line-up, switches Larry Waterbury and Devereux Milburn to positions which, it is believed, will add materially to the strength of the defenders. The fact that the Waterbury and Milburn urged the retention of Rene La Montagne as No. 1, has had the effect of heartening the backers of the Meadowbrook four. It is believed the attitude of the trio toward the fourth member of the team will take the sting out of the criticism that was heaped on La Montagne's head following his poor first game, and that the result will be encourage the player and stir him to such action, which for keenness, the and history has American never polo.

The fact that the betting was light, despite the extremely liberal odds, did note indicate a growing confidence in American team. Even the well-known fighting spirit of American poloists when on the defensive failed to draw out any money to speak of. Admirers of the defenders were inclined to lay back and await developments.

Should Meadowbrook win the second match there will be plenty of money to back America in the third and rubber match. No Postponement To-Day. Thore was fear that last night's Leavy rain would necessitate a postponement of-the game. It was believed it would leave the field in bad condition, there being drainage system at Meadowbrook his the playing ground is almost perfectly level. However, the high wind which prevailed this morning dried it out nicely and when the game is called the field will be nearly as fast as it was on Saturday.

Polo Secretary Association W. A. Hazard, of the and the committee in charge of the matches went over the field and after their inspection the announcement was made that to-day's game would be played. Great Crowd Will Attend. Thousands of New Yorkers started catly to see the second battle.

The size of the crowd, the indications were, would be quite as large as that. of last Saturday. With the handicap of an initial defeat against them, and the betting odds at 4 to 1, the American team, reconstructed, was still confident that hard fighting might win the day. Monte Waterbury, the Yankee captain, promised that the thousands would see a battle to the last pony dash, and the last stroke. Clear skies, a bright ssun and a brisk, chilly wind, were the conditions.

"There is little doubt that La Montagne will have profited by his experience of last Saturday which was his first international match. look to see him steadier.

There is no doubt that Milburn is the equal of any back in the world. Consequently our goal will not be so to reach as it was in the first penne. Then my brother Larry will not be handicapped in his open play by the thought of having to watch the rushes of the English players. He will play more forward. All told we expect much better combination work than before and we are very in hopeful of winning." Britishers Will Stand Pat.

No change will be needed on the of British team to The challengers have had nothing to say, and refused to be quoted on the game. Lord Wim- the borne, backer of the team, would not talk at length. All he would say was: "The team will play the sort of a game as in the first match. We expect the American team show in better to day, but it's English weather the and, barring accidents, we expect to win." and Interest, fully as great as was felt in society over the first game, was apparent to-day.

MR. FISKE'S STATEMENT Dr. Goldwater's Sec'y Says Board Is Not Responsible. The Board of Health will ke no steps in regard to the death of Mrs. Catherine Mercer, at her home, 20 Crescent place, yesterday, despite the fact that the family physician, Dr.

Sidney E. Smith, gave it 88 his opinion that the typhoid fever antitoxin administered by the Board caused her death. It is likely that the family will take action in the matter and bring suit against the for heavy damages. Mingled with their grief at the denth of Mrs. Mercer, so closely following that of Mr.

Mercer a few weeks ago, is anger at the city for having injected what they term "impure" antitoxin. At the office of Health Commissioner Goldwater, it was said to that the Commissioner out of town and be back for a week or so. Deputy Commissioner Emerson was also absent frAn the department to-day. Not Responsible. S.

W. Fiske, secretary to the Commissioner, was questioned as to what the action of the board would be. The Board does not consider itself responsible in way for the death of Mrs. Mercer, he said. We believe she was infected prior to inoculation, and that the injection of antitoxin was in no way responsible for her contracting the disease.

Mrs. Mercer was inoculated only once. Three inoculations are considered an ordinary application. At any rate the death certificate has not been received at this office. Dr.

Smith said to-day that he personally would take no steps himself in the matter, other than to hold in readiness to give his opinion at any investigation that may be made. was He stated yesterday Mrs. Mercer absolutely well up to the time of her inoculation. His opinion is upheld by the statements of the two nurses. The three children are still seriously ill.

Refused Vaccine. Deputy Commissioner Emerson last night denied that Mrs. Mercer's death could possibly have been caused by the department vaccine. Mrs. Mercer refused to undergo the second and third inoculation usual in wardng off cases of ty.

phoid fever. If the serum was impure, many others would have shown symptoms of the disease, he said. Deputy Commissioner Maxfield, in charge of Brooklyn, said that the matter was not in his jurisdiction, being typhoid case, and referred the reporter to Secretary Fiske, who, he said, had the matter in charge. Funeral services for Mrs. Mercer, will take place at 8 o'clock to-night at her home.

Interment will be tomorrow morning at Evergreens Cemetery. Health Department Statement. The Health Department gaye out a statement ridiculing the idea of a mistaken diagnosis on its part in the case of the Mercer family. the "The correctness of diagnosis was established first by blood examination made by Dr. Blatteis, on May 21," the statement says.

"This showed a marked dimunition of white blood cells and a relative increase the proportion of lymphodytes. This is characteristic of typhoid fever. Moreover the Widal test was positive, even in a dilution of blood one to one thousand. it "Finally on May 21 conclusive evidence of the nature of the disease, bacteriologists of the Research Laboratory of the Department of Health found that the intestinal discharges contained typhoid bacilli. "The clinical course of illness Mrs.

Mercer's case conformed to customary type of typhoid fever, familiar to all experienced physicians be the termination was likewise the the familiar one of intestinal hemorrhage with death from shock. The entire history of this case bears out the contention of the and department made three weeks ago that these were all typhoid be infections, and that the immunizing injections were in no way responsible. give MRS.

BROWN LOSES SUIT FOR $150,000 ESTATE Husband's Kin to Share in the Property, Ketcham Decides. MARRIAGE CEREMONY 'AN AMIABLE NULLITY' Union League Club Man's Promise to Share All Not Valid. Although the late James L. Brown, of 1252 Dean street, a member of the Union League Club, often told his wife, Mary E. Brown, that "what is mine is yours and what is yours is mine," the expression had no weight when the question of the right to $150,000 worth of securities came up after his death.

Surrogate Ketcham late yesterday rendered a decision, rejecting Brown's claim to the entire estate, and directing her to account for the securities, in which he said: "The declaration of tne husband that. 'what yours is mine, and what is mine is is too much like the amiable nullity which the husband addresses to the bride at the altar 'with all my goods I thee The imparts to the ceremony an idle charm which the other carries into the trials of life. But neither has enough of precision or active intention to alter rights of The question of the legal value of the expression came up through an accounting of Mrs. Brown as administratrix of the estate of her husband, who died on January 31, 1913, leaving no children and no will. His only heirs were his widow, his brother, William C.

Brown, of Philadelphia, and two sisters, Mrs. Margaret Atterholt and Miss Elizabeth S. Brown, also of Philadelphia. Mrs. Brown applied for letters of administration after her husband's death, and stated his estate amounted to only $5,000.

Subsequently she filed an accounting in which she listed property worth $32,826, consisting chiefly of bank deposits, and which showed that the net estate was only about $20,000. According to this accounting, her brother-in-law and sisters-in-law were entitled to only about $3,000 each. Mr. Brown's brother and sisters were under the impression that he had left a comfortable fortune, and sought Lawyer Joseph N. Tuttle's service.

The latter discovered in the transfer tax department that there was a list of high-class railroad securities worth about $150,000, which had been found in a safe deposit box in the name of both Mr. and Mrs. Brown, after the former died. Objections were at once filed to the accounting and the relatives demanded a half share of the stocks and bonds which would increase their legacy to about $25,000 each. In the proceedings before Surrogate Ketcham, Mrs.

Brown explained she did not include the securities because she believed them to be hers. She called a maid as a witness who testihad heard the expression frequently, him made by there Mr. Brown, "bjut and also one say pocketbook in the family." It was conceded that the securities all belonged to Mr. Brown at his death. TRANSIT CO.

When the Public Service Commission had finished opening ten bids for the construction of the First section of the Eastern Parkway subway this afternoon, unofficial figures again placed the Transit Company of Brooklyn in the position of lowest bidder, with a bid of $2,195,000. The same company was awarded the contract for section No. 1-A of the same subway, work on which began three weeks ago. Of the other bidders, the P.

MEDIATION HAS REACHED END OF ITS ROPE Little Chance Now of Agreement on Mexican Situation. INFORMAL TALK ONLY AT NIAGARA FALLS If Some Agreement Is Not Reached by Saturday, the Scheme Falls Through.

Niagara Falls, June some substantial agreement between the American and Mexican delegates in the mediation conference is in by Saturday, the Niagara peace parleys may closed. The A mediators, it was learned to-day, believe that if an agreement is to be reached after the four weeks of discussion which have passed it should be sight by the end of the week. If the representatives of the United States and Mexico are still as far apart as at present after their conversations to follow in the next few days, the mediators will suggest that as no settlement appears possible the negotiations be ended. The mediators feel that even with such a termination of the conferences they will have done their part toward bringing peace between Mexico and the United States. have brought negotiations up point They.

of the selection of a man to become provisional president after the retirement of Gen. Huerta and who shali hold office pending a general election. As to who this man shall be, however, the American and Mexican delegates are as far apart as the poles. After three days of discussion among themselves there was a to-day prospect of agreeing on any particular man. From now until Friday only informal conversations will be held between the Americans and Mexicans.

Ambassador Naon will not return until that day. Bad Defeat for Carranza. Washington, Falls mediators June Commis- agara sioners, deadlocked over the choice of Huerta's successor and Carranza curtly informed that to participate in the conferences he must grant an armistic, interest here to-day centered in the Reports fighting of a near complete Zacatecas. rebel defeat are not yet confirmed, but it is certain that Carranza's forces have been forced to fall back. Conditions immediately following the battle of Torreon have been duplicated, and Villa is now rushing to the scene with his fresh veterans of the north.

If he can retrieve the situation it will have a telling effect in Carranza's favor on the Niagara Falls conferences. There is 1 no question that the repulse of the Constitutionalists at Zacatecas has complicated the situation. The administration had been led to believe power was crushed and that the city would be taken in a hurry. The prestige of such a victory was depended on to influence the Huerta Commissioners in making concessions on the personnel of a new provisional government. Instead, Huerta has apparently won the initial fight, and it is understood here that much of his success was due to furnishing to Gen.

Medina, the Federal commander there, of a part of the Krupp fire guns and new rifles and ammunition that were landed from the Yipiranza at Puerto Mexico in the face of the protests of Rear Admiral Badger.

No Senator, nor Governor, has ever been elected Brooklyn, and I am sure the people of that great independent community would be gratified to know that a Brooklynite had been chosen for the great office of Senator. And when I say I will accept the responsibility laid upon me by my friends of Brooklyn and elsewhere, I also mean that I will work every minute from now until Election Day to be nominated and to win.
