He started off abo.it noon, with the intention of returning this evening. His secretaries and close friends were unable to say whether this was tiie first time Mr. Bryan had ever shot at ducks, and there was a noticeable t--*.- den« y to put the soft pedal on blood- thirstiness so far as his afternoon off was concerned. Young John Bryan Lesvltt, the >t<- retary's grandson, wa8 responsible for the sojourn. He marched Into the State Department about 11 o'clock this morning with a shotgun on his shoulder and reminded his Krandpapa that he bad prOBnlsad to go hunting with him and that h«- was already late. Mr. »Bryan looked over his desk, found nothing important and then left th** department with his grandson. There is hope In Washington to-night that no dove of the Potomac has suf¬ fi red to-day, even by accident. - » ONE STRAW HAT IN BLOOM Summer Headgear at Football Game Stirs Hackensack.

I-._-.i DAY'S DEVELOPMENTS IN MEXICAN SITUATION Mexican rebels and Federals ere engaged in what is expected «to be the most decisive battle of the revo¬ lution near Juarez. Washington believes there will be no trouble over the oil fields near Tuxpam, having the assurance of the Constitutionalists that they will not destroy foreign property. Government organs in Mexico City repeat the assertion that President Wilson has decided to recognize Huerta as Mexico's chief executive. Public opinion in France is grow¬ ing more lenient to Huerta since the publication of his messaqe to the Mexican Congress. General Huerta, in a cable mes¬ sage to The Tribune, says that the oil properties at Tuxpam are safe and that the revolution will be end¬ ed in due time. [By T'l-»-fr.-iph to Th» Tribune.1 El Paso, Tex.. Nov. _2..With battle lines extending for three miles on either side Of Tierra Blam*a. thirteen miles south of Juarez, Mexico, federal and Constitutionalist troops to the number of 7,000 to 10,1)00 on each side have been fighting since .'-! o'clock this after¬ noon In what Is regarded as a decisive battle. Cannonading is distinctly heard in Juarez, and Constitutionalist reinforce¬ ments are being sent on special traîne und on foot to the battle scene as rap¬ idly as they **an be assembled and equipped. Couriers from Tierra Blanca bring news of wavering rebel lines, and the defeat of the rebel army under Gen¬ eral Panfho Villa has been anticipated In Juarez by making preparations to get the rebels out over another rail¬ road should they retreat to Juarez. Fighting with the Constitutionalists are several Mexican wum«*n, wearing khaki uniforms and carrying guns, and using them effectively. Wives of Con¬ stitutionalist officers and privates re¬ fused to stay in Juarez when the move¬ ment to the south was started, and de¬ manded that they be given guns to help in the fight. Driven Back by Mercado. 1'nder General Salvador Mercado, military governor of Chihuahua, 4,000 federals reached riamalayuca at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Mercado drove back the Constitutionalists stationed there and moved on to Tierra Blanca, aim st «m the outskirts of Juarez and Kl Paso, where he was Joined within an hour by General Cara veo, with 3,000 federals. General Pascual Orozoco, with 2,500, and General Vnez Salazar with NN) opposing the federals are 7.000 t'onstitutionalists under Pancho Villa, who is personally commanding the reb¬ el forces. All the afternoon troop trains have been sent out of Juarez over the Mex¬ ican Central Railroad to the front and late to-day five automobile machine gun trucks were sent to Tierra Blanca, manned by expert American, »'erman and English volunteers. It is the first time In Mexican warfare that automo¬ biles have been used by an army in oattle. Defeat of the Constitutionalists and their flight toward Juarez are reported to-night by persons returning from the battlefield. The report! DATS alarmed Bl Paso residents, who fear an attempt by the «'onstitutionalists to seek safety on this side of the border and to loot outlying districts. A posse of five hun¬ dred citizens, which was formed three years ago when rebels menaced E, Paso, has been ordered assembled by Sheriff Edwards at a signal to be given by the big fire whistle, which can be heard for miles. All members of the posse are armed, and are to protect all approaches to the city where the regu¬ lar troop patrol Is Insufficient. At the Constitutionalists' headquar¬ ters in Juarez to-night it Is stated that authentic advices from the front bring news of fighting, but that neither side has any advantage.
