BELIEVES MEXICAN SITUATION WILL BE WORKED OUT WITH.
 OUT RESORT TO ARMS
FINANCIAL BLOCKADE IS ON
Shortage of Funds and Diplomatic Pressure From All Sides Win. it is Believed Cause President Auerta to Yield up Office.

Washington, Nov 13.-United sun. port from the great powers abroad for the American policy toward Mex ico shown in variety of quiet diplo. matic activities. gave President vii. son and Secretary Bryan a confident feeling today that the elimination of General Victoriano Huerta as provi. sional resident of the Mexico soon will be an accomplished fact.
 That the financial blockade insti. tuted by the United States had cf. fectively tied the purse strings oil Europe, that diplomatic pressure was being exerted necessarily on all sides at Mexico City. that close friends of Huerta were applying their influence. ;. and persistent reports saying Huerta had gone into mysterious secusion raised the holes Of the Washington government that at last it was making definite progress toward solving the Mexican problem
 An exchange of cablegrams with Ambassador Page, an agreement by Great Britain 10 leave the solution of the Mexican problem in the hands of the United States, and an an nouncement that no moral or finan- cial support would be granted by Eng land to the Hueita regime, set forth in London press dispatches. created favorable impression throughout of licial Washington 1t was felt that Great Britain, France. Germany and other nations now stood together in acqHie esoence to the plan of the Unit cd States for the elimination of Gen eral Huerta.
 President Wilson had prepared ear ly in the day a statement of the situa- ton reciting what had been attempt cd in line communications presented by Charge O'Shaughnessy and JohL Lind, but within q few hours such favorable advices were received as to cause the president to withhold the document from publication.

Later however it was learned from othef high officials that the plan of man cal isolation was bearing fruit ana hat the plan for Huerta's elimination was being acquiesced in ny lofeish governments. especially some of those who had previously recognized nm and upon whom he had come to reS for aid.
 One of the most important factors in the situation, which caused WASH ington calmly to await developments was the report through authoritative channels that members of the Huerta official family were divided, some ol them urging his resignation to aVolo international complications. Ihey were reported to be using every CT fort to prevail upon him to make a formal announcement of retirement q, a fixed date.
 The situation has progressed to the pont in the view of many oftlclals' where even definite rejection oi the American demands by 'Huert" would not alter his future mateflallS S' Confidence prevails that he is drilt- ing into certain bankruptcy and can not resist much longer the pressure exerted against him.
 Another influence that is eXpecteu 10 contribute to Huertas oVertnro" is the extension of moral suppors 10 he constitutionalists. If pressed to he extremity. the American govern ment will lift the embargo on arms to aid the constitu,ionalists in com posing the situation, but there IS sun
