London, Aug. 30.—General Felix
Diaz, who recently arrived here
.from Canada, declared today that
he is now definitely a candidate for
the Mexican presidency, . --u
Gen. Diaz said his friends In Mexi
co are now busy, working in bis be
half. He said that, even if he were
ordered to proceed to Japan, and he
felt certain he would receive such
orders, his action would depend en
tirely upon Mexican developments.
He said that Provisional President
Huerta was barred from becoming
a candidate, by a clause of the Mexi
can constitution.
The fact that he is still an official-
of the Mexican government, barred
him from,any discussion of Presi
dent Wilson's message, he said.

iour Court conveney this mornln,

ough charge to the Grand Jury. The
