ELECTIONS IN MEXICO Speculation as to What Will Hap pen After Sunday, Nov. 17 MEXICO CITY. Nov. 14. Mexico is clearing its decks for another of those great trials which almost in variably In the past have brought on revolutions. If nothing happens to prevent it, the people will go to ho polls Sunday, November 17. to choose between Jose Vasconcelos and Pascual Ortiz Rublo for their next president. The campaigning so far has been accompanied by usual 'Violence. There have been ftrjfcral' assassinations, followed by tne customary cnarges ana count-tcr-charges. But the opinion prevails that despite these incidents and those that may come election day will roll around and the people will have opportunity to cast their ballots. The serious phase of the elections, If there is to be any, will come after the voting, the consensus shows. President Portes Oil has nromlsed lmnartlalltv. but. If Ortiz Rublo comes out of the elections with a majority It will be a diffl - cult matter to convince the Vascon- cellstas that they have been de- I featcd fairly.
