FOREIGN WARSHIPS LOOK ON
England Continues to Ignore Wiison’s
Efforts—Criticism Is Resented—
No Explanation Asked, as British
Envoy Has Been Upheld.
Washington, Oct. 23.—The disclos-
ures of the sharp divergence between
the Governments of the United States
and Great Britain in regard to Mex-
ico continue to grow in importance.
The split between the two Govern-
ments is regarded as one of the most
significant developments in the Mex-
ican situation and likely to have far
reaching results.
That the recent discussions between
‘Washington and London have been
accompanied by some bitterness was
learned here. Keenest disappoint-
ment was felt by the Washington Ad-
ministration at the results of the in!
quiries addressed to the British For-
eign Office. This disappointment is
the greater because of the fact that
the discussion opened with the
United States coming forward with
an expression of regret over the
course of Sir Lionel Carden in Mex-
ico City. The answer of Great Brit-
ain is regarded as not only an ex-
pression of lack of sympathy with the
policy of the United States but even
as a rebuff.
The statement attributed to Sir
Lionel Carden in Mexico City has not
served to help matters. In some quar-
ters his statements, as reported here,
were regarded as little short of in-
sulting, and surprise was expressed
that he ventured so far.
Sir Lionel’s statements are regarded
here as open to only one construc-
tion; that he intended to criticize the
policy of President Wilson in Mexico.
His statement that he did not feel it
incumbent upon him to investigate
what Huerta might have done over-
night before presenting his creden-
tials as British minister is but one
way of saying that Great Britain does
not believe in the policy of subject-
ing Huerta’s administration to scrut-
ing. Even more sharply critical of
President Wilson is the remark cred-
ited to Carden to the effect that he
did not consider it right for foreign-
ers to constitute themselves a com-
mittee of investigation into the in-
ternal affairs of Mexico.
More frank and pointed than either
of these statements, however, was his
declaration that the United States
does n=t fully realize the seriousness
of the Mexican situation.
Norfolk, Va., Oct. 23.—Four ships of
the Atlantic fleet—the New Jersey,
Rhode Island, Nebraska and Virginia
—were ordered to Mexico. Orders de-
taching these ships from the fleet
caused considerable: excitement in
naval and diplomatic circles.
Naval officers stated that warships
now at Vera Cruz would return home
when the ships ordered out reach the
Mexican port. Some others were of
the opinion that the orders, coming at
this time, in sending ships to Mexico
were more significant.
Vera Cruz, Mexico, Oct. 23.—The
steamship Corcovado, with General
Felix Diax on board, and the German
protected cruiser Hertha arrived here
almost at the same moment.
The Hertha anchored under the
walls of the fortress of San Juan de
Ulua, not 200 yards from the Cor-
covado. After the Corcovado had been
inspected by the port authorities a
boat put off from the Hertha and sent
two German officers on board the
steamship on which General Diaz had
made the voyage here.
General Diaz landed without hin-
drance and was cheered as he came
ashore.
SULZER COUNSEL UNPAID
Expect Nothing Unless Legislature
Passes Special Bill, Says
Herrick.
Albany, N. Y., Oct. 23.—Unless a
special bill is passed by the Legisla-
ture for the payment of the fees of
William Sulzer’s counsel they prob-
ably will not receive a cent for their
work. Nor will they take the initiat-
ive in having such a bill introduced,
D-Cady Herrick said.
“We shall not ask the State to pay
us,” he said. “Nor do we expect any
pay from Mr. Sulzer. He has not
paid us anything, and we shall not
ask him for a cent. If the State feels
that it does not want us to be in its
debt, and any legislator voluntarily
introduces a bill granting us a fee, we
shall not oppose it.”
Mr. Herrick said he spoke for all of
the ex-Governor’s counselors.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special «0 The Crmmercial.
The most spectacular, if not tha
most important, political doings these
days are going on in New York,where
Sulzer and his graft investigator Hen-
nessy haye got Murphy, McCall and
the rest of Tammany backed up
against the wall and are daily and
nightly shooting them full of holes as
efficiently as any Huerta agent ever
shot a Madero—and much more legit-
imately. It is an amazing tale that
Hennessy the graft prober tells, but
he supplies convincing detail for
most of it.
It seems that, as Jimmy Dolan
used to say, the Tammany grafters
have found ‘‘no detail too small to
ignore.” They even made a system-
atic levy upon the wages of the $40 a
month men who worked on the canal
and they had their collectors in the
paymaster’s office so that the graft
was deducted before the pay enve-
lopes were delivered to the employes.
According to Hennessy’s figures, this
line of graft alone amounted to about
$3,000 a week.
The graft Hennessy has disclosed
renders all the more clear and em-
phatic the important duty of Martin
Glynn, the governor whom Tammany
has installed in place of Sulzer at
Albany. Whatever of folly or wrong
the impeached governer may have
committed, it is undeniable that he
did one thing vhat was good and
strong and straight for the state. He
did start in the trail of the grafters,
and it is undeniable that it was be-
cause he was on the trail of the graft- |
ers, and because Murphy and Tam
many knew that that trail if pursued
would put some of their friends in |
the penitentiary that Sulzer was im- |
peached. Obviously, Murphy and |
Tammany were more ready to trust |
their ca: 10 the friendly hands of |
Martin ¢ nn. Just as obviously, |
there de.c!ves upon Mr. Glynn the |
‘paramou wuty before everything |
else unfi hingly to pursue the trail |
thatSulz.;’~ inyestigations uncovered.
Will he wo it? {
On the cay that he became gover- |
nor, when he was holding his first |
talk witu thie newspaper correspon- |
dents in Albany, one of the reporters |
recalling the Sulzer declaration of
last January that he was the ‘‘leader |
of jhe Deinocratie party,”’ asked |
Glynn if -he intended to proclaim him- |
self the leader of the party in the |
state Murk the reply. |
“I have no ambitions to be leader,” |
said Mr Glyon.
There we have Glynn’s certificate |
of Murphy’s leadership. |
In the New York ‘Times’ of the
day after this interview, in the re- |
port of evenis at Albany, there ap-
pears this significant paragraph: |
‘‘The legislative leaders who were
here today were profuse in declaring |
that Mr. Giynn would have the hearty
support of the Democratic majority
in the legislature, and that they dic
not look for any differences !ike those
which mark«.d the administration of
Sulzer ’
There we have Tammany’s certifi-
cate of Glynn’s acceptability to it.
What is the prospect that the new
governor will attempt to perform the
paramount duty which now faces
him.
