He Is acting as the Mexican represen tative In this country. The disruption of the mediation proceedings at Niagara falls Is be lieved to have been avoided by the Huerta decision. From all appearances, tne Ameri can ships were prepared to keep Tampico “open.” The Mexican gun boats passed Vers Crus yesterday. The United States ships Sacramento and Tacoma followed them. They were due at Tampico this morning. Secretary Daniels has wirelessed Rear Admiral Badger, asking for a report oh tbe situation there. What motive prompted Huerta’s decision can only be guessed at here. Up to Mediators, Now. Huerta’s dispatch to the Spanish Ambassador declared that his action was Inspired by a desire not to Jeopardise the mediation plans. He said the gunboats bad been ordered back to Puerto,-Mexico. It Is there fore believed that Huerta has plac ed the fate of his government, and the settlement of Mexico's trouble fully with the mediators. The telegraph wires between Washington, Mexico City, and Ni agara Falls have been kept busy His formal statement Is as fol lows: “I am of the opinion that bouth Georgia is willing now to stand by a South Georgia candidate for gover nor and under ordinary conditions would win, but at this time there are candidates for governor an nounced from various sections of the State, and each section seems to he standing by Its local aspirant; besides other entries are In pros pect and probable. "In my consideration of the de sire of my friends to make the race, there has attended my deliberations the personal conviction that at pres ent I can he of more real service to the people of the State In my pres ent position. Yet, it has beon the temptation of my life to make this race, that South Georgia, for once, might win for the making of a greater State, win to foster and pro tect all' of our Instltnlons and win to endeavor to bring about such remedial legislation as would enable the less fortunate to take sdvantnge of their environments and profit thereby, and that all Georgians In happiness and prosperity might un ite for the continued upbuilding of our civilization. “After most careful consideration, we have concluded not to enter the race under existing conditions. I am mindful nnd deeply appreciative of the Interest of my friends every where.” THIS BUM IS PROVIDED IN SUN DRY CIVIL BILL M>W BEFORE HOUSE—TO HE USED IN BE GINNING WORK ON NEW POST OFFICE BUILDING.
