ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH


 WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Three European nations, Great Britain, Ger many and France agreed to adopt no new policy toward Mexico until the government of the United States sub- mits for their consideration definite plan for the future treatment of Mexico
 That request to the powers to await a proposal regarding Mexico from this government has been made and that three great European nations have yielded to the request, was announced late today by Secretary Bryan. The president arrived late tonight and planned to confer early tomorrow with Bryan. When the note to the powers will be presented has not been determ- ined, but the belief prevails that a reas enable time will be given for an an- nOuncement from the Huerta govern ment as to the result of the election. That this announcement will be that the election of a new president failed because Of insufficiency of votes is still the expectation of the officials and it is believed that President Wilson and his advisers are preceding on the theo- ny that some concerted effort must be made by all governments interested in Mexico to rid that nation of the domin- ation of Huerta.
 It was believed here tonight that Diaz and his friends would ask to be placed aboard an American bound ship and that unless such disposition could be made of them Admiral Fletcher would permit them to remain aboard one of the United States ships in Mexi- can waters.

 With Great Britain, Germany and France joining the United States in a demand for Huerta's resignation and the holding of a free and fair election, it has been asserted confidentially by officials high in authority here that Huerta would yield and that the new government would be established with out intervention. This would neceSsi- tate the cessation of all hostilities and cooperation on the part of the Mexican revOlutionists. Evidence of the sheer ity of France in the proposed coopera- tive Mexican policy came today in a request by that government that the United States send a Warship to pro- tect her nationals in San IgnaciO Si- nalOa on the Pacific coast of Mexico The state department received the re- quest late in the day and tonight was making plans to accede to it.
 Although interest in this develop rnent overshadoWed all else in official circles. the flight of General Felix Diaz from Vera Cruz to refuge on the American gunboat Wheeling was rduch discussed. Rear Admiral Fetch CT was notified tonight by Secretary Bryan that the political refugees could be shielded only temporarily Ad- miral Fletcher. who is in command of the American ships in Mexican waters, notified Washington that Diaz. with two Mexican companions and an American newspaper man, had been granted the right of asylum on tEe Wheeling after pleading that tl,eir lives were endangered The state department notified the admiral that within a reasonable time they must be transferred to a commercial
