INTERVENTION IS
NOT POSSIBILITY
President Wilson Says That
Peaceful Solution is
Practicable.
HUERTA REGIME is
STILL tNRECOGNIZED
Statement From White
House Expected; AM
bassador Recalled.

Washington, D. c., Aug. A.
Secretary Bryan today announced
the acceptance Of the resignation
Of Henry Lane Wilson a. ambas-
sador to Mexico.
Secretary Bryan made the fol-
lowing statement:
Ambassador Wilson's resi0na-
tion has been accepted to take !
effect Oct. II. The part which he
felt It his duty to take In the
earlier stages Of the recent revolu-
tIon In Mexico would make Il
difficult for him to represent the
Views Of the present adminIstra-
tIon In view Of the situation which
now exists"
Washington, d. c., Aug. Armed
Intervention in Mexico neither is 9
probability nor q. possibility for 8
peaceful solution of the situation il
becoming more practicable.
This is the view President Wilson
took today Of the situation. He let Il
be known, too, that before the end o
the day he would make a brief an
nouncement of the first step in the
policy OF the United States toward
Mexico While no inkling OF what i
would be came from the white house
It was expected that the presiden
would formally announce his decision
not to recognize the Huerta govern
ment.
The sudden call to Washington o.
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson for I
conference led to the report that hill
status might be announced. The am
bassador came to the white house anc
was told there was misunderstanding
about has engagement, that instead ol
a conference with the president he wat
to call on Secretary Bryan. The am
bassador said the telegram he received
in New York stated the conference
would take place at the white house
Observers Of the diplomatic situation
predicted that the ambassadors resig
nation would be accepted soon. The
only explanation, however, as to the
purpose Of his recall to washington
made at the white house, was that II
was for further consultation. Short
ly after the ambassador called, Sen
ator Bacon, chairman Of the foreign
relations committee, went into con
ference with the president. The
president gave him to understand thai
he would consult the chairman Of the
two congressional committees Of for
eign affairs before taking any action
It was also suggested that the presi
dents announcement late today might
formally express determination
reached a, fortnight ago to treat the
constitutionalists and the unrecognized
Huerta administration on an equality
with respect to the expectation o1
arms for this country.
