President Spends Practically
All of Sunday on the Deli
cate Matter in Confer
ence with Secretary
HUERTA is GIVEN
UNTIL TONIGHT TO
MAKE FORMAL REPLY
Some Definite Developments Are Ex-
pected Immediately-The United
States Will Probably Refuse
to Recognize Any Acts
of New Congress

his usual custom OF banishing official
business ON sunday, President Wilson
worked practically all of today ON the
church, remaining indoors during the
forenoon. Later he summoned Senators
Bornb and McCnmber, republican mem-
bers of the Senate foreign relations
committee, and spent nearly two hours
with them in general discussion of the
situation. Tonight the President con-
ferred mt length with Secretary bryan.
Situation Approaching Climax
From the way the Presidents callers
talked, the situation is rapidly approach
ing a climax and some definite develop
, ments are expected Immediately. Off
cially no copy of the statement of Pro-
vlsional President Huerta to the diplo-
matte corps last midnight had been re-
ceived, nor had the formal reply to the
American demand that Huerta resign ar
rived. That the United States had given
Huerta until tomorrow night to reply be-
fore making the next move, was the gen.
eraI belief in official circles.
those who have talked with the Presi-
dent within the last two days-since he
began summoning members of the SEN
ate foreign relations committee--probably
will be an announcement by the United
States. not only reiteratina its refusal
to recognize the Huerta Government, but
making 1t clear to the world that 1t also
shall refuse to recognia any acts of the
new Congress soon to be convened by
Huerta.
The washington government it is
understood, will not undertake to guar-
antee any business or commercial reia-
tions with the Huerta regime and prob
ably will stand by any legally constituted
government which in future may repudi-
ue ii sesals or frassact,iius Of The prsa-
ent government.
Senators Express Views
Both Senators McCumber and Boinh
declined to talk of what the President
told them In their conference today, but
they expressed their own views later.
Senator Borah told the President that
In has opinion, even should Huerta accede
to the American request for his resigna-
ton at this time, there would be no re-
sponsible person or persons to establish
government. The Idaho sel,- tor sug-
gested that il the embargo on arms Were
lifted the constitutionahsts probably
couid get possession of the reins of gov
ernment in Mexico City ir about 30 days
and tnat the United States ought to give
them an opportunity to establish them
selves. Should they fail, he beheves, the
United States might CONSIDER other steps
when the contingency arises.
Senator McCumber beneves the en-
baigo on aims should be raised but
