OROZCO REFUSES OFFICE

Will Not Become Governor of. State of Chihuahua. El Paso, Tex., Feb. 9. —Fasqual Orozco refused the governorship of Chihuahua after the state legislature had selected him, but he protests his loyalty to Madero and is said to have declined the governorship partially because the state legislature declined to endorse Madero, also because he believed the constitutional governor, Abram Gonzales, should first be given a chance to restore order or at least have some say in the matter. Gonzales, who has wired that he was coming to Juarez by way of Eagle Pass and would then go to Chihuahua from Juarez, decided to go on a hand car to Chihuahua to consult with Orozco and the state legislature.
