son after an early conference with

poets of the Mexican situation pre-.
sented by the inquiries frof foreign
powers regarding the attitude of the
United States, ordered Ambassador

The ambassador will hurry north

on the Louisiana from Vera Cruz, if

He is expected here by July %, at
the earliest.
1t is believed in official and diplo-
matte circles that an important an
nouncement of the attitude of the

ton will follow the ambassadors con-
ference with the president and Sec
retary Bryan. Bryan positively declin-
ed to add any information to his

Don't Want to Recognize Huerta.
Washington, d. C.-Administration
officials admitted that the situation
in Mexico and the diplomatic inqui-
ries from Europe as to what the at
titude OF this country would be tow
ards its neighbor on the south, were
engaging their deepest attention.
Secretary Bryan had two hour
conference with President Wilson to-
day and while the Japanese question
and departmental appointments con-
sumed much of their time, the fore
most subject before them was the
Mexican problem. Earlier in the day
it had been discussed at length at the
cabinet meeting.
Mr.. Bryan declined to say what the
policy of the United States govern
ment would be toward any European
representation. but intimated that a
pronouncement of the situation might
be expected in short time. 1t is
known that the administration Off
cials have been continuously opposed
to recognition of the Huerta govern
ment until elections were held and
it has been expected that any future
declaration to the foreign powers
would be along the line of the Latin
American statement made by Presi-
dent Wilson soon after he took office.
In this he proclaimed that his admin
istration would be to make a basis
for intercourse with Latin American
countries the principle of government
set upon orderdly processes and not
upon arbitrary or irregular force. He
also stated that the American gov
ernment would prefer those who act
in the interest of peace and honor.
who protect private life and respect
the restraint of constitutional pro-
vision
While the administration officials
have not expressed any opinion about
Mexico specifically, it frequently has
been stated informally that recogni-
tion would not be extended until the
constitutional machinery in Mexico
had been set in motion again to elect
a new president to succeed the pro
visional president now acting.
