WASHINGTON, July 2e.-President
Wilson had before him tonight the re-
port written here today by Ambassa-
dor Harry Lane Wilson on conditions
in Mexico from the time that revolu-
tion overthrow the reign of Porforio
Diaz. through the stirring events OF
the Orozco revolt, the downfall of Ma
dero and down to the establishment of
the Huerta regime. a period of three
years.
This report was transmitted to the
president tonight by Secretary Bryan,
who had spent the greater part of the
day in conference with Ambassador
Wilson. The president expects to ex-
anime the report before Monday, when
he will confer with Ambassador Will
son on a possible solution of the pres
ent difficulties.
WILSON CHECKED UP
Secretary Bryan, in sitting the mass
of varying information that has
reached Washington from all parts Of
Mexico. did not confine himself to Of
fetal channels, for as soon as Ambas-
sador Wilson left the state depart
geles. whose identity as an agent of
the government has been variously
stated and denied in official circles
appeared In Mr.. Bryan's office. For
nearly an hour after Amba ssador Will
son left Mr. Del Vale was closeted
with Secretary Bryan and much
secrecy was manifested as to the ma
ture of the conference. Mr.. Bryan was
silent, declining to state how long he
had known Mr.. Del Vale. or anything
of the character of his mission in
Mexico.
Mr.. Del Vale afterward admitted he
had spent nearly two months in Mexico
travelling through the trouble zones and
had presented full report of con-
ditions everywhere in the republic.
ROAMs WHOLE COUNTRY
He said he had been political ac-
quaintance of Mr.. Bryan and had been
at one time a state senator in Califor-
MIA. Able to speak Spanish, Del Vale,
who is of Mexican ancestry. though
born in the United States, had little
difficulty, he said. in making his way
through the territory held by the reb-
els al we'll as the federals. He declined
to state the results of his explorations
THE odd thing. however, he said, lis
that the people In the north of Mexico
do not even know conditions in south
ern Mexico, and vice versa"
Del Vale declined to Indicate what
he thought OF the situation, but spoke
highly of some constitutionalist leaders
in Sonora whose names were mentioned
to him.
Coincidentally Del Vale came up
from Mexico City on the same steamer
with Ambassador Wilson and arrived in
Washington on the same train.
WILSON SHOWS ANIMUS
That they had little in common was
apparent from Ambassador Wilson's re-
mark earlier in the day that he did not
think the government had exhibited
courtesy toward him in sending un-
official representatives to investigate
conditions in Mexico. He spoke caus-
tically of the methods pursued by both
Del Vale and William Bayard Hale, a
personal friend of President Wilson, in
obtaining information. In fact, the am
bassador said he had been told by
legation official in Cuba that Del Vale
had a copy of the state department
code in his possession, an impropriety
for an unofficial representative. in the
ambassadors view.
While the amba ssador expressed his
Views on Mexican affairs freely early
