Lane Wilson's conference With men.
bers OF the Senate committee o. 8oe-
eisn relations resulted in stronger
support for his plan to recognise the

he has yet received. After . three
hours Questioning Of the AMBASSADOR
many Dsmbess q the Senate go

The determiaatioa oe The govern
ment's Mexican policy does not rest
with the Senate. however. aAd there
was nothing In the situation to indi-
cate that President Wilson or Secre-
tary Bryan had wavered In their de-
termination not to recognise the Huer-
to government 1t present.
The matter presented to the Senate
committee by the ambassador already
had been lad before the President and
secretary OF state. and their attitude
against recognition had been based up-
on information from other confidential
sources, many at variance with those
Of Ambassador Wilson.
The conference at the capital dis
tinctly was presentation of his side
of the case" by the ambassador to
Mexico. AS q result Of the generally
favorable impression he created 1t is
believed the administration will be
urged to furnish the Senate commit
tee at once with its private informa-
tion. gathered by William Bayard
Hale. Reginald F. Del Vale and by
consular agents at various points.
Two principal points Of difference
have been developed between Ambas-
sador Wilson and the administra-
tion. These relate to the present
control of Huerta over Mexican af-
fairs.
Ambassador Wilson told the Sen
ate committee that the Huerta gov.
ernment dominated affairs through.
out the republic and had driven the
out of many Of
their stronghold. including the
states of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon.
The president, it is understood,
has Information considered reliable
by himself and Secretary Bryan.
which shows the constitutionalist
strength to be greatly In excess of
the estimates OF Ambassador Wilson,
and indicates that the Huerta gov
ernment dominates the situation only
in small part Of the republic.
Tho need for immediate recogni-
ton of the Huerta government. as
laid before the committee by the
was based upon the be-
lief that President Huerta could not
long retain control of governmental
under present conditions.
1t is claimed the government is run
ming behind monthly financially and
that American recognition is neces-
sary to enable Huerta to secure cred
it for immediate governmental neces.
stiles.
Should the Huerta government fail,
in the opinion of Ambassador Wilson,
in the republic would be
worse than at present and American
lives and property would be in great
er danger
The fact that many members Of the
senate committee took the same view
1T the end OF the days conference
probably will result in President Viii
sons submitting the information in
his possession upon which he bases
his belief that the recognition Of
Huerta is not necessary to the pro
lection of American life and proper
ty.
