WASHINGTON. July 1e.-President
Wilson today, after an early confer
ence with Secretary Bryan over the
latest aspects of the Mexican situa-

Ambassador Wilson will hurry.
north on either the battleship Michi-
gan or Louisiana, from Vera Cruz.
if any delay would be entailed by
waiting for a commercial steamer.
Officials here believe that the almost
total interruption of railroad traffic

Would Like TO Know U. s. Attitude.
1t is believed in official and diplo-
matte circles that an important an
nouncement of the attitude of the
United States in the pending situa-
ton will follow the ambassador >
conferences with the President and
Secretary Bryan. The Presidents
action today, following closely the
unofficial announcement that some ~
the foreign powers which already
have recognized the Huerta governs
ment were pressing for some indica-
tion of this governments attitude
toward the continued disorders in
Mexico, lead to that belief.
Secretary Bryan positively declined
to add any information to his brief
announcement of Ambassador Will
sons call TO Washington.
I However, 1t is assumed that the
administration desires to learn Fl. n
the ambassador directly what intss-
ences actuated the foreign diplomatic
representatives in Mexico, when they
jointly agreed to address their gov
ernments with what amounted to q
formal complaint against the atti-
tude of the United States in its re-
lations with the Huerta regime Pres
ident Wilson has kept an open mind
on the subject and is thought to feel
himself bound to adhere to the policy
he announced early in his adminis-
tration of lending moral encourages
ment only to such governments in
Latin America as were founded upon
constitutional law and practise.
Ready to Listen to Reason.
However it is understood that he

representations Ambassador Wilson
may care to make.
The President has had the benefit
of private reports from several of
his personal friends who have trav-
elled in Mexico recently. but those
were unofficial and not sufficient to
form the basis of any formal attitude
If there We're to be any change in
policy.
Secretary Bryan was asked If the
coming of Ambassador Wilson to
Washington would change his pro-
jected tour He replied:
"The newspapermen might have as
sumed that my lecture dates would
not interfere with business, instead
of assuming that they would. All
my lecture dates were made subject
to cancellation"
Senator Fall has informally noti-
fled the foreign relations committee
that he intends to ask the Senate to
discharge it from further considera-
tion of his bill to repeal the neu-
trality statute of 1912, under which
the Huerta government now is m
porting munitions of war, while they
are denied to the constitutionalisss
He will ask the Senate to pass 1t.
DOUGLAS. Ariz.. July 16.-Ad-
vices that foreign governments were
bringing pressure to bear at WASH
ington to induce the United States to
interfere in Mexico created consider
able apprehension among the rebel
official government of Sonora today
and caused a statement that the
rebels throughout Mexico have al
ways treated Americans with the
highest respect.
The constitutionalist representa-
tives on this side of the boundary
said that their greatest desire was
to prevent foreign intervention.
