BITTER STRUGGLE ON MONEY REFORM Senate Is Working Behind Closed Doors ISSUES CLOSELY DRAWN As Passed by the House and the Cen* tral Bank Plan Proposed by Presi dent Vanderlip of New York Na tional City Bank. Reconstruction of the administration currency bill began behind closed doors in the senate banking commit tee. Tbe issue is clearly drawn be tween the bill as passed by the house and the central bank plan proposed by President Frank A. Vanderlip, of the National City Bank, of New York. Whether the administration bill, backed by President Wilson's express | ed uncompromising opposition to the Vanderlip plan, and renewed supporl from administration supporters, will emerge triumphant from the senate committee or whether a middle ground will.be found between the two meas ures is the next question in tbe situa tion. The senate eommiftee begins work with a majority of its members admittedly favoring the Vanderlip idea. Administration supporters, view ing that fact, declare that such a meas ure could not be passed in the house, and that the committee, therefore, must work with the administration bill as a basis, reserving its funda mentals, if currency legislation is not to be definitely delayed.

At the close of the elections in Mex ico the indications were that not suf ficient votes had been cast to consti tute a legal choice for the presidency to succeed General Victoriano Huerta. No oflicihl announcement was made., but it was unofficially estimated, judg ing from the results in tbe capital, where expected the vote would be up to the average, that less than 10,000 of the 80,000 eligible voters in the federal district went to the polls. There are said to be more than 3.000,- 000 eligible voters in the republic. It would be no surprise if congress, the members of which also were voted for, declared the elections void when that body is organized and revisee the returns. Tbe leaders of the Catholic party claimed a long lead, although they were unable to estimate the number of votes polled for their candidates, Gamboa and General Has con. If this claim is correct, it is genef ally thought that General Felix Dia2 and Senor Requena ran second. The Liberal candidates, Manuel Calero and Flores Magnon, had not printed tickets at the polling places, their constituent# being obliged to write their names on blank ballots. President Huerta did not vote. He spent the day at his Poptia suburban home. A decree will be issued by General Huerta increasing the army from 85,- 000 men, it is alleged the present number, to 150,000. General Huerta S proposed such an increase some time ago, but the congress, which he dis solved, limited him to 80,000. MONTEREY CAPTURED. Leading Citv of Mexico Taken Frc:t Huerta Forces.
