. Washington, July 16: Counting
upon the announcement earlier in the
day that Ambassador Henry Lewis
Wilson had been summoned from
Mexico City to confer with President
Wilson regarding the situation In Mex
leo, Secretary Bryan tonight said this
step had been in contemplation 1or
some time. He refused 10 discuss
suggestion that this statement indi-
Gated the ambassadors recall was not
brought about by the action or the
diplomatic body in Mexico City In
formulating a Joint complaint against
the attitude of the United States to-
ward the Hureta government. ihe
secretary would not confirm or deny
reports Of the meeting OF foreign rep
resentatiyes in Mexico. There Is much
speculation in official circles regard
ing Ambassador Wilson's future, for
1t is generally believed his return to
the Mexican capital Is by no means
certain. Mr.. Wilson was thrown in
to close association with Gen. Hureta
in the days proceeding the overthrow
of Madero and Immediately after
wards. One Of his first official COM
munications to the state department
after the coup d'etat resulting in the
death of Madero and Suarez, sug-
gested that he be authorized to eX-
tend the formal recognition OF the
United States to the new government.
President Wilson has recently re-
ceived a number of reports from in
dividual Americans, not connected
with the state department, upon Mex
lean conditions, so that he Will De
prepared to take up the discussion
with the ambassador with considera-
able personal knowledge Of the sub
ject. If the president should con-
clude il is not necessary to return
Mr.. Wilson to Mexico. the American
embassy will be in charge Of Secre-
tary O'Shausney. Thus the status
would correspond to that of the Mex
ican embassy in Washington, which is
under the care Of Secretary Algara.

Washington, July Is: Washing
ton today was interested chiefly in
developments following Secretary
Bryan's statement that he had to
spend his vacation on the lecture
platform, because he couldn't live on
the secretary Of states salary OF $12,-
900 a year. The lobby investigation,
the tariff and the Mexican situation
were forgotten, temporarily, at least,
while everybody talked about the
resolution introduced by Senator Bris-
tow, calling on the president to "ad-
wise the senate what would be a prop
retary of state to live with comfort
and enable him to give his time to
the discharge of his public duties. y
When the Bristow resolution was
read amid Republican laughter, DEM
ocratic Leader Kern and other SEN
ators Immediately objected to its
consideration and after few brief
exchanges, it went over. 1t was full
ly discussed, however, in the lobbies
and cloak rooms at both ends Of the
capitol. Later Secretary Bryan issued
this statement: Il am glad to have
the criticism brought to my attention.
/ believe in criticism of public OFF,
cials. Criticism is helpful. II a man
makes a mistake, criticism enables
him to correct it; if he is unjustly
criticised, the criticism helps him.
l have had my share Of criticism
since 1 have been in public life, but
1t has not prevented my doing what
1 thought proper to do. In devot!ng
a part of my vacation to lecturing, 1
am doing what I believe 10 be prop
er, and / have no fear whatever that
any unbiased person will criticise me
when he knows the facts. For seven
teen years the sources Of my income
have been writing and lecturing. but
each year I have made more public
speeches, without compensation, and
where I have paid my own travelling
expenses, than 1 have where COM
pensation was received. My earning
capacity has been large and I have
made not only an income sufficient
for my immediate needs, but have
saved, on an average, something more
than ten thousand dollars year.
In accepting the Office which 1 now
hold, gave up the opportunity to add
to my accumulations, for do not ex-
pect to increase, during my term, the
amount I have laid aside-that is, /
am willing to forego what advantage
