All mem bers of the diplomatic coijis, with the exception of Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American Charge d’Affaires, are expected to call on Huerta during the afternoon. * While elaborate preparations were being nude for the birthday celebra tion, leading financiers were holding a conference at the Bank of London and Mexico to devise means of avert ing the banking crisis, and deposi tors were besieging the institution, as well as the Central Bank and the Banco Nacional. The decree of the Government declaring a legal holiday until January 2 increased the finan cial tension rather than decreased it.
