WASHINGTON, Sept 25. - Presi-
dent Wilson took the position today
that the policy Of moral suasion adop-
ted by the United STAGES toward MeMl-
co had accomplished its TWO cardinal
purposes: To obtain assurances that
there would be a constitutional cleo
ton and that Provisional President
Huerta would not be candidate to
succeed himself
Advces received here describe in de-
tail the preparations being made Tor
the election of October 20, and states
also that General Huerta would not
be candidate, but would support
Federico Gamboa, Mexican minister
Of foreign affairs the nominee of the
Catholic party, encouraged President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan to believe
that the Huerta government was car
rying out what the United States had
emphasized in the Lind negotiations in
the essential features IN satisfactory
settlement of the revolutionary trou-
bles.
The president realizes that it VIII
not be Immediately possible to judge
whether the proper election Is actu-
ally constitutional and will hold de-
cision for some time Gs to whether the
choice of that election will be recog-
nized by the United States
Likelihood that foreign governments
will await the judgement Of the Unit
ed States before extending recognition
is being impressed upon the Mexican
authorities, it is said with a view OF
insurng free choice. However doubt
as to the value of the coming election
as expressing the VIII OF the Mexican
people was cast by constitutonalist
headquarters here today in the issu-

porters, extending over many Mexican
states, would not go to the polls.
Urge MI 10 NoIe.
Many persons familiar with the pur-
pose of the administration here pre-
diCted that the next step in the policy
Of the United States would be an eff
fort to show indirectly to the Consti-
utiOualists the necessity of participat-
ing in the election,
In this connection il was pointed out
by officials today that Mexican law
would hold the approaching election
valid and constitutions if a majority
of the polling precincts of the repub-
lie were shown to have been in legal
operation. The claim of the Mexican
government that it controls the terri
tory in which the bulk of the popula-
ton of Mexico resides Will be taken
into account by the Washington ad-
ministration in judging the coming
election. Consuls throughout the re-
public will report to the state depart
ment of the fairness of the election,
and if the government resulting from

of neutrality between the factions
would be declared ended and the
United States by expectation of arms
would lend its moral support to the
government set up in the Mexican
capital.
President Wilson in discussing the
situation with callers spoke of the
practical difficulties of constitutional

No Interest In Candidates.
Administration officials let it be
known that the United States was not
concerned with the personnel of the
candidates beyond its opposition to
General Huerta continuing in power
a position justified in their minds be-
cause of his irregular assumption OF
authority and overthrow of Madero.
This was declared necessary to fur
ther the cause.
Gamboa's nomination has caused
much speculation in official circles
and doubt was frequently expressed
that he could be elected. II was point
ed out by administration officials that
the Catholic party always had been a
minority party in Mexico because most
MeNicans, although Of the Catholic re-
ligion. traditionally had opposed the
idea of a Catholic political party as
leading possibly to a reunion of the
church and state.
With keen interest officials are wait
ing to see whom the liberals in Mexico
will name
A feeling of relief that the situation
was adjusting itself was apparent here
today. From high administration Of
ficals came the statement that while
no change in orders had been sent to
consuls about Americans leaving Mexi-
co, the disposition of President Wilson
always has been to leave the question
entirely to the discretion of Americans
in Mexico. still urging those in the
trouble zones to depart and offering
them pecuniary assistance.
