An antiferro ordering of an electric hexadecapole moment is discussed as a promising candidate for the long standing mystery of the hidden order phase in URu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$. Based on localized $f$-electron picture, we discuss the rationale of the selected multipole and the consequences of the antiferro hexadecapole order of $xy(x^{2}-y^{2})$ symmetry. The mean-field solutions and the collective excitations from them explain reasonably significant experimental observations: the strong anisotropy in the magnetic susceptibility, characteristic behavior of pressure versus magnetic field or temperature phase diagrams, disappearance of inelastic neutron-scattering intensity out of the hidden order phase, and insensitiveness of the NQR frequency at Ru-sites upon ordering. A consistency with the strong anisotropy in the magnetic responses excludes all the multipoles in two-dimensional representations, such as $(O_{yz},O_{zx})$. The expected azimuthal angle dependences of the resonant X-ray scattering amplitude are given. The $(x^{2}-y^{2})$-type antiferro quadrupole should be induced by an in-plane magnetic field along $[110]$, which is reflected in the thermal expansion and the elastic constant of the transverse $(c_{11}-c_{12})/2$ mode. The $(x^{2}-y^{2})$-type [$(xy)$-type] antiferro quadrupole is also induced by applying the uniaxial stress along $[110]$ direction [$[100]$ direction]. A detection of these induced antiferro quadrupoles under the in-plane magnetic field or the uniaxial stress using the resonant X-ray scattering provides a direct redundant test for the proposed order parameter.
