All OF the confidential reports
that he had sent to the govern

dictate his statement to Bryan's
stenographer, and on the case he
presents, 1t is said, will depend
whether or not he will be allowed

Opposition to President Will
sons mediation plan for Mexico
as voiced by Ambassador Wilson
In New York has not changed the
administration attitude. The
ambassador arrived this porning,
and 1t is doubtful If he wna meet
the president until Monday.
The ambassadors statement, in
which he said, "Ir we consider
mediation plans, We may as Wen
abandon the Monroe doctrine en-
tirely," has displeased the presi-
dent. 1t was authoritatively
learned today that Wilson will
not be returned to Mexico If the
administration can prevent it.
Wilson today denied that he had
declared the mediation plan to
be 'rot" when interviewed in New
YORK and said that he had the
friendliest of feelings for the pres
ent administration.
II am not here to advise the
president as to any course of ac-
tion in Mexico" said Wilson to-
day. 81 am merely here to make
a first hand report of conditions
there, and tell what I have done
during the turbulent times. I am
merely doing part of the job for
which the government pays me
$17,500 per year. Personally
have never recognized the Huerta
government. I have attended his
receptions, and have even made
him speeches. But that is not
recognizing his government-it is
merely recognizing the defacto
government that existed at the
time"

IN PARK

CHICAGO, July 20.--The body
of an unidentified woman, neatly
dressed, with a bullet wound in
her forehead, was found this
morning on the shore of tiny
lake i'm Rogers park, with reyol-
yer nearby. She was about 30
years old and exceptionally pretty.
There were no powder marks on
the face or body. indicating that
she had not fired the fatal shot
herself. A score of detectives,
working on the case, have come
to the conclusion that the woman
was lured to the spot in an auto
mobile and murdered. Every
clue is being run down eagerly.
