ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
 NEW YORK, July 25.-Pausing
 here half day on the hurried Mexi
 co-to- Washington trip, in response to a summons from President Wilson,
 Henry Lane Wilson, the American Ambassador to Mexico announced his emphatic opposition to several plans under consideration by the state de- partment for bringing about peace in the troubled Mexican republic At
 the start, Wilson gave his reasons tonight why he considered the plan
 for tripartite commission not a feasible ore.
 The Monroe doctrine pledges the United States to take care of the interests of the American govern ments without the aid of any foreign country he said, consequently un- der the Monroe doctrine, we should not attempt to settle MeXicO's af- fairs through the services of such a body as the proposed tripartite com mission, since it involves calling in outside governments to help
 The ambassadors silence regard ing his opinion of American recogni- ton was broken tonight long enough for him to comment on his acts just subsequent to the overthrow of Ma dero. In February. when Huerta be- came provisional president the am bassador instructed the American consuls in Mexico. in the interests of Mexico to urge general submis- sion and adhesion to the government which is being recognized by all for eign governments today
 Wilson said a wrong construction would be placed on this advice by any person who believed it meant that he recognized the Huerta gov ernment or that he desired in any way to conflict with the policies of either Taft as president or President Wilson.
 It was the de facto government plained the de facto government was the only government that possessed power to offer protection for Ameri- can lives and property and for the lives and property of other foreig- ners. I acted as any ambassador ! had a right to actin the interests 1 of my couhtrymen. The government { I recognized was the only existing i one of law and order. I believe 1 did right at critical time"
 After the ambassador has confer ! red with the secretary he will talk | further with the president and will ! probably be asked to appear before | the senate committee on foreign re- | lations. Immediately after his con- | ference with the ambassador, Bryan i is scheduled to appear before the | nate committee on foreign relations 1 and further present the administra- tion's plan for a prOtectorate over Nicaragua but on the same occasion 1 he is expected to be asked to out 4I ican policy
 It is believed that after the presi- dent and the secretary have obtain ed from the ambassador his own ideas and interpretations of the po- litical situation in the Mexican capi- tai. the American government in a measure, will reiterate the views ex- pressed in the Latin American state ment made by the president shortly after his inauguration in which he that the United States had nothing to seek in Latin-Ameri- ca but the welfare of the sister re- publics.
 It is expected that the Washington government will also pronounce itself | on the question of arms and ammun- itiOn and the probability of lifting the embargo so that all sides may buy munitions of war. Such de- velopment might so strengthen the constitutionalist cause as possibly to bring about the quick overthrow of the Huerta government, a contin- gency which many Washington off ciaIs believe to be inevitable.
 Will! Not Be Cross Examined
