Wilson, American ambassador to Mex
leo returned to the United States to-
day prepared to place before President
Wilson and the state department his
suggestions regarding a solution of the
troubled affairs in Mexico. These sug-
gestions do not include he said, any
idea of sending an American commits
sion into Mexico to offer mediation.
Mr.. Wilson opposed a proposition
that a tripartite commission be orga-
nized, made up of representatives of
the United States and two South Amer
lean republics, to bring about peace be-
tween the warning factions.
While declining to enter into an eX-
tended discussion of any plans or to
offer any remedy of his own Mr.. Will
son characterized the mediation plan
as "all rot" The proposal for a tri-
partite commission Mr. Wilson said is
not a feasible one.
THAT is a plan of John Barrett, di-
rector of the International Bureau of
American Republics" he said.
Lots has been said in the american
newspapers about American interven-
ton and perhaps some of it is inspired
by persons who would be interested in

ded. 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 dismissed,
he declared. II expect to be retained.

In February, just subsequent to the
overthrow of the Madero regime, Mr..
Wilson said. he sent to the American
consul, General Hanna at Monterey,
a telegram requesting him to inform
all consular offices under Mr.. Hanna
jurisdiction that Huerta had been es-
tabIished as Mexico provisional head
'You should make this intelligence
public" Mr.. Wilson's telegram told
Mr.. Hanna ito 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.
II stand absolutely responsible for
all kilograms and messages sent to the
United States consuls recognizing the
de facto government after the death
of Madero." sad Mr.. Wilson. This
was the only action to take in order
to maintain law and order.
''Under parallel circumstances for a
hundred years back the United States
officeNs in foreign lands have taken
the same action"
Referring to reports alleging that
his own administration in Mexico was
in a measure responsible for the over
throw of Madero, Mr.. Wilson said:
That's all politics and it is theory
that was long ago exploded to the
satisfaction of the state department"
He declared that to bear out this
charge Mrs. Madero after her hus-
bands death caused to be published
letters she had written the am bassa-
dor, but their text as they appeared in
print was not the same as the original.
