WILSON SHOCKED.
But President elect DiscreetIy Avoids
 Making Any Comment.

Princeton, N. J.. Feb. 23.-President- elect Wilson was shocked to hear the news that Madero and Suarez had been killed in Mexico City. Its too bad,'' he sighed. when he first learned of the shooting through Associated Press despatches. He refrained from com nnent, saying he would maintain his policy of silence until he had taken office. While nothing has come from MT. Wilson to indicate what his atti- tude will be, he has kept himself con- careful scrutiny of the news de- spatches. He has talked the situation over informally with the correspond -ents, displaying at ai1- tines keen interest in the progress Of events in the trouble-ridden country
 MT. Wilson, it is known, had hoped from the first that Mexico's problems would find anaicabie settlement with out the least interference from the United States. He realizes the gravity of developments, however, and is studying the situation most earnestly. It is even declared among some of his friends that he now might hasten the announe efaent of his cabinet so that he could avail hinaself at once of their counsel en g, situation that will require ths immediate attention of the new administration.
 MT. Wilson said tonight that he had received no communication directly or indirectly concerning Mexico. It is re- ported here that mem bers of the Taft cabinet have volunteered to place be- fore MT. Wilson all information at their iariZe himself with some of the official reports before taking office. MT. Will son had no comment to make on this phase of the situation.

 indicates Gravity of Situation.
 This decision on the part of the diplomatic corps in the Mexican capi- tai indicates the gravity of the situa- stion which will confront the Huerta government should it fail to clear the mystery in which the killing of Aladero and Suarez still is enveloped.
 May Gall for an Explanation.
 No official comment was forthcoming here tonight statements relating to the tragedy made by Senor De La ta. but it was taken for granted that if the late leaders were brutally mur- dered as the result of g. plot the pres ent government will be called upon for an explanation when 1t seeks poiirfcaI recognition at the hands of the United States.
 Mexico Must Vlndicate Herself.
 Thus It may be brought about that in addition to showing itself equal to the immense problems of sreconstruc ton before it, including the rec estab- liSh1nent of law and order in states so long torn by revolution, Mexico may be asked to show that the blood of it's late rulers is not upon it's hands.
