New York. July 25.-Henry Lant
Wilson, ambassador to Mexico, re
turned to the United States toda,
prepared to place before Presideh'
Wilson and the state department his
suggestions regarding solution of the
trouble in the affairs in Mexico These
suggestions do not include, he said
an idea of sending an American com
mission to Mexico to offer mediation
Mr.. Wilson also opposed a propo
sition that a tri-partite commission be
organized, made up of representatives
of the United States and two South
American republics, to bring about
peace between the warning factions
While declining to enter into an ex
tended discussion of any plans. or to
offer any remedy of his own. Mr.
Wilson characterized the mediation
plan as "all rot"
The proposal for a tri-partite com
mission, Mr.. Wilson said, is not a
feasible one.
"That is plan of John barrett,
director of the International Bureau
of American Republics" he said.
While not saying specifically that
he favored recognition of the Hnerta
government by the United States.
Ambassador Wilson indicated that it
was his view that recognition should
be given. In February, just subse-
quent to the overthrow of the Madeio
regime, Mr. Wilson said, he sent to
American Consul Hanna at Monterey
telegram requesting him to inform
all consular officers under Mr.. Hanna's
Jurisdiction that Huerta had been es-
tablished as Mexico's provisional
head.
"You should make this intelligence
public"
Mr.. Wilson's telegram told Mr
Hanna to inform the consular officers,
'.'and in the interests of Mexico urge
General Submission and adhesion TO
the new government. which will be
recognized by all foreign governments
today"
Mr.. Wilson said today that he was
willing to reiterate this sentiment at
any time either publicly or officially
81 stand absolutely responsible for
ell kilograms and messages sent TO the
United States consuls recognizing the
de facto government after the death
of Madero," said Mr.. Wilson. This
was the only action to take In order
10 maintain law and order. Under
parallel circumstances for hundred
wears back. the United States officers !
in foreign lands have taken the same
action
The ambassador said he did not care |
to commit himself on the question OF
American Intervention, as he must re-
serve his views in this matter for his
conference with the President and
Secretary Bryan.
Lots has been said in the Amerl-
can newspapers about American in
tervention and perhaps some of it is
inspired by persons who would be in
terested in American control of Mex
ico," was his comment.
Mr. Wilson said he expected to go
back to Mexico as American am
bassador.
Il have received no intimation from
Washington that | am to be dis

be retained. l see no reason why

Referring to reports alleging that
his own administration In Mexico was

That's all politics, and 1t is a
theory that was long ago exploded to
the satisfaction of the state depart.

He declared that to bear out this
charge Mrs. Madero, after her hus-
Lands death caused to be published
letters she had written the ambassa-
dor, but their text as they appeared
in print was not the same as the org.
inal. The files at the American ELI
bassy in Mexico City, he declared,
show this.
Mr.. Wilson went to a hotel to await
word from the president as to when he
is wanted for a conference. He ex-
ected TO be summoned to Washing \

lives and property are in danger from

Mr.. Wilson added:
Il have been blamed for a great
