Hueria May Remain in Mexico City and Head His Troops in Final Stand Against, Rebels * . , mi HARRISBURG l&mM TELEGRAPH LXXXIII— No. 166 FINAL STAND MAY FIND DICTATOR AT HEAD OF HIS ARMY Some Officials Believe Huerta Will Take Personal Command of Federal Forces HIS FAMILY LEAVES CAPITAL Many Persons Say Provisional President Will Leave Mexico City Today By Associated Press Washington, July 15.—With Huer ta's family and several close friends in flight to-day from Mexico City, the resignation of the dictator was ex pected to take place at any time by the State Department and members of the diplomatic corps in Washing ton. Dispatches from Mexico City stated that Huerta and his minister of war, General Blanquet, might fol low their families from the capital to Vera Cruz some time to-day. In some quarters, however, the view was expressed that Huerta might hold out longer, and that the departure of his relatives only meant that he was preparing to make a final despe rate stand against the advancing Con stitutionalists, commanding his troops in person. Some administration offi cials said they were not convinced Hu erta was ready to quit, while Querido Moheno, former minister of commerce and in the federal cabinet, was quoted as declaring "Huerta will not leave Mexico so easily as is generally thought." Want Fighting to Ceuse Nevertheless, diplomates in Wash ington directed their efforts at avert ing fighting in the federal capital and arranging some means of transferring power to the Constitutionalists with out further loss of life. The Consti tutionalists, it was declared, would not recede from their stand against any parleys with their enemy that might imply recognition of Huerta or his successor. It was hoped some way might be found to bridge that objec tion. Carranza's forces continued pre parations to-day to press their cam paign against Mexico City. Villa's army, gathered in Chihuahua, was ready for the movement southward,! while General Obregon's forces flush ed with their recent victory at Guad alajara, soon would be In shape, it was said, to resume their campaign. That the Constitutionalists would be I in Mexico City within a few weeks, re- i gardless of the action of the Huerta government, was the belief expressed by some officials to-day.
