Fiery President Says He Will Dis-

Recall of Felix Diaz Is Regarded
as Shrewd Political Move to

Stormy Session Is Probable.
Special Cable to The American.
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 20.—Presi
' dent Huerta to-day threatened to dis
solve Congress and postpone the na
tional election unless the Chamber of
Deputies confirmed his appointment
of Senor Tamariz to the Ministry of
Public Instruction.
in a message Huerta declared that
lie had reforms In mind for the en
lightenment of the people, and he felt
confident that Tamariz is better sult
• an any other man to carry them
out.
The recall of Felix Diaz was de
li red to be a shrewd political move
on Huerta’s part. It is reported that
Hue will appoint Diaz Foreign
Minister to succeed Senor Gamboa.
Under the Constitution a President
of Mexico can not succeed himself,
if Diaz is appointed Foreign Mlnls
“ ter and Huerta resigns to be a can
/ didate for re-election, Diaz would
1 / succeed to the President's chair in
the interim.
a Consequently Diaz could not be
’ elected President because he could
not legally succeed himself. On the
other hand, Huerta could be elected
and could constiutionally take his
place in the National Palace.
A stormy session of the Catholic
party is looked for to-morrow, when
its convention will be held here.
Americans in Mexico
Halt U. S. Intervention.
By JONATHAN WINFIELD.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—" Come
home.”
* So said President Wilson to about
' 40,000 Americans in Mexico a few
weeks ago.
"All right."
This was the answer of about 30.-
000, and they at once left the land of
sands and sombreros for the States
"No," replied 10,000-odd Americans
with stubbornness in their make-up
and their money in Mexican invest
ments; "we won't come home until
you tell us why we should.”
And there you have one of the odd
est little problems that a nation ever
had to face. It is a problem that
causes President Wilson to think hie
brow into worried furrows and take
frequent rests on the golf links.
* It is a problem that causes Secre-
* tary Bryan to look back on old po
litical battles as child s play and go
> out on the Chautauqua circuit for re
laxation and rest. It is a problem
•> that also baffles John Bassett Moore,
sage counselor of the State Depart
ment.
Congress Dodges Issue.
Congress? Why. Congress has
taken one or two frightened glances
at the problem and gone back to tar
iff and currency legislation with vis
ible relief and alacrity. Congress has
gone just far enough into the problem
to convince herself that it is one to be
taken up only after studious consid
eration. and then handled only with
kid gloves.
Any Government official, any army
or naval officer, any foreign diplomat.
f' and in short anyone who has given
' the subject serious thought and is
• -ompetent to speak, will tell you that
' those 10,000 contrary Americans who
have elected to stay in Mexico in the
face of the presidential request have
furnished the United States with a
problem so baffling as to discourage
efforts of its solution.
And here is the reason why: As
long as Americans remain in Mexico
the United States practically is pow
erless to take any action that might
invite Mexico to war or even cause
a banditti outbreak. As long as there
;ire Americans on Mexican soil tne
hands of the United States are tied.
Huerta may flaunt sassy diplomatic
words in the face of President Wil

He Will Be Acquitted by
Impeachment Court.
ENEMIES ARE JUBILANT
Recognition of Glynn as Legal
Acting Executive Regarded
as Sign of Weakening.
ALBANY, N. Y., Sept. 20.—William
Sulzer, the impeached Governor ot
New York, was reported to-day to be
on the verge of a physical collapse.
Worry over the bitter political fight
which Tammany Hall is waging
against him, coupled with anxiety
over the outcome of the Impeachment
trial, caused the Governor's health to
break.
A close friend of the executive de
clared to-day that there Is no truth
in reports that Mr. Sulzer will re
sign under fire. This person, who in
timated strongly that he spoke for the
Governor, said that Mr. Sulzer feels
sure that the impeachment court will
acquit him of the "high crimes and
misdemeanors" charged against him
Governor Sulzer believes that his
foes In the Senate lack fifteen votes
of the number necessary to find him
guilty.
It Is learned that the Governor
wrote a long statement to Judge D.
Cady Herrick, his chief counsel, re
fusing to allow him to give it out.
As a result of Mr. Sulzer’s acknowl
edgement of Lieutenant Governor
Glynn as the legal acting Governor,
the antl-Sulzer Legislators were ju
bilant. They declared that Mr. Sulzer
is fast weakening and that If it were
not for the support of Mrs. Sulzer and
his lawyers the Governor would not
undertake to fight against his politi
cal adversaries.

Massachusetts Youth Cool Against Croat Harry
Vardon and Ray and Is Easy Viutcrr.
BROOKLINE, MASS., Sept. 20.
Francis Ouimet, aged 20. former cad
die and present Massachusetts ama
teur champion, to-day won the nine
teenth annual open golf championship
of the United states with surprising
ease at the Brooklyn Country Club.
His medal play total for 18 holes was
72 to 77 for Harry Vardon, of Eng
land, and 78 for Edward Ray, also of
England. (
It was thought possible that Oui
met, who was raised on thr edge of
the course,, near the sixteenth tee,
might end or tie for second place, but
not even the most sanguine dared
| whisper a lead of flv« strokes for him
over the five times winner of the
British open, the best known player
in the world.
Going out there was nothing to
choose between them, all being 38 to
the turn. Coming in, however, the
youthful American played a marvel
ous game, fairly sweeping the two
English stars off their feet and win
ning in comparatively easy fashion.
From the tenth hole where Ouimet
gained a stroke on his two rivals, the
English golfers began to realize that
in this American boy Ouimet they
had met their equals if not their mas
ter. Ouimet played surely, steadily,
without a trace of real nervousness.
The United States Golf Association
saved the S3OO offered as lirst prize
money through Ouimet’s victory, as
he is an amtaeur. He was awarded
a medal and his dub, the Woodlan i,
<>f Boston, viil got the championship
CUP t*» be held for one year.
Ouimet is the first American ama-

teur to win the national open title.
Four years ago “Chick” Evans took
the Western open honor, which never
attracts anything like as strong a
field as the national open, and that
season it was skimpier than usual.
Ouimet's caddie, Eddie Laurie, got
a contribution of $25 immediately aft
er the play was over, and Vardon re
ceived $l5O for second place and Ray
SIOO for third place.
‘Ornis Dip' Latest
Os the Bird Dances
Partners May Be Changed at Fancy ■
of Men, and Everybody Looks
Satisfied.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. feird
dances, such as the “ornis dip,” orig
inated by Miss Eleanor Wilson at
Cornish, promises to be the fashion
here this winter. Miss Katherine
Britton and Miss Margaret Britton,
who have returned here for the sea
son, are dancing the "bluebird dip,”
named after the favorite pet of Miss
Margaret Britton.
One of the peculiarities of this new
dance is that if one of the men
dancers fancies the partner of an
other man he can stop in the middle
of the dance, leave his partner and
take the other mans, and both the
deserted man and maid have to look
phased- This exchange, however, has
to take place during the dip and at
no other time of the dance.

Wants to Review All Evidence.
Lawyers for Accused Physician
and Those Who Are Striving to
Send Him to Gallows Fight
Desperately Before Executive.
Governor Slaton will announce his
decision in the case of Dr. J W. Mc-
Naughton, for whom a pardon is
sought, some time this week. This
assurance was given by him at noon
Saturday, following a two-hour con
ference with the attorneys on both
sides. From all the Indications the
chances of the convicted physician
for a full p>ardon are slender.
The conference followed a consul
tation between the attorneys regard
ing certain parts of the testimony
which the Governor requested them
to consider and, if possible, agree up
on it, so that ft could be embodied in
I written form.
The attorneys met early Saturday
morning, but reported to the Govern
or that they could not agree. Govern
| or Slaton then reviewed the particu
lar evidence to them as he under
stood It. and his construction of it
proved acceptable to both sides.
“I w ill announce my decision in the
McNaughton case some time next
week," said the Governor to a group
of reporters. "I will review the writ
ten testimony again and go Into the
new evidence which was submitted to
me Friday. I will make a written
statement of my action in the mat
ter."
Many Call at Capitol.
A large number of visitors called at
the Capitol Saturday morning, in the
expectation that the McNaughton
hearing would be continued to-day.
Many of the visitors were from Em
anuel County and had not heard of
the conclusion of the case at mid
night.
Both Judge Saffold and Attorney J.
W. Bennett, attorneys for McNaugh
ton, and Attorney A. S. Bradley and
Solicitor General R. Lee Moore were
present at the conference Saturday.
With the prisoner branded on the
one hand as the most cunning of poi
soners and on the other as the victim
of an astounding conspiracy and mis
directed public wrath, the Gov
ernor fazed an exceedingly hard prob
lem.
It was 12:36 a m. Saturday when
Judge Frank H. Saffold concluded his
argument for the physician. The
night session was held at the re
quest of Judge Saffold, who desired
to leave for Savannah at 12:15 o'clock.
In the earnestness of hts pleading for
executive clemency, however, he
failed to recognize the flight of time
and spoke for fifteen minutes beyond
the time his train was due to leave.
Staton Quizzes Lawyers.
Governor Slaton canceled an en
gagement to deliver an address at the
Auditorium to hold the night session.
The afternoon session lasted until
5:45 o’clock, when a recess was taken
until 7 o'clock.
Solicitor General R. Lee Moore and
A. S. Bradley made the arguments for
the State, while Colonel J. W. Ben

for the applicant. Governor Slaton

Schwab, president of the Bethlehem
Steel Company, sailed to-day for
Paris in connection with the placing
of contracts for the first ten vessels
of the proposed ore fleet which will
bring ore from the Chile mines to the

Schwab was pessimistic regarding
the trade outlook because of the busi

revision, and declared the steel re
ductions were too drastic.
