FORCED TO SHOW HAND

Washington, D. c., July l6.--Presi
dent Wilson today after an early con
ference with Secretary Bryan ovel
the latest aspects of the Mexican sit
uation, presented by the inquiries OF
foreign powers as to the attitude OF
the United States, ordered Ambassa
dor Henry Lane Wilson at Mexico City
to proceed to Washington imme'
diately for conference.
Ambassador Wilson will hurry north
on either the battleship Michigan or
Louisiana, from Vera Cruz, If any de-
lay would be entailed by waiting for
a commercial steamer Officials here
believe that the almost total inter
ruption of railroad traffic between
Mexico City and the United States
will force the ambassador to make his
trip by water. He is not expected
here before July %, at the earliest.
1t is believed in official and diplo-
matte circles that an important an
nouncement of the attitude of the
United States will follow the ambas-
sador's conference with the president
and Secretary Bryan. The presidents
action today, following closely the un-
official announcement that some OF
the foreign powers, which already
have recognized the Huerta govern
ment, were pressing for some 1ndica'
tion of this governments attitude to-
ward the continued disorders in Mex
leo, leads to that belief.
Secretary Bryan positively declined
to add any information to his brie1
announcement of Ambassador Wilson's
call to Washington.
However, it is assumed that the ad-
ministration desires to learn from
the ambassador directly what in
1uences actuated the foreign diplo-
matte representatives in Mexico when
they jointly agreed to address their
governments with what amounted to
formal complaint against the attitude
of the United States in its relations
with the Huerta regime. President
Wilson has kept an open mind on the
subject. and is thought to feel bound
to adhere to the policy he announced
early in his administration of lending
moral encouragement only to such
governments in Latin America as
were founded in constitutional law
and practices 1t is understood that
he is ready to give due weight to any
representations Ambassador Wilson
may care to make.
The president has had the benefit |
of private reports from several OF his
personal friends who have travelled |
in Mexico recently, but these were un-
official and not sufficient to form the !
basis of formal attitude if there were
to be any change in policy.
Bryan's Lecture Interrupted.
Secretary Bryan was asked II the
coming of Ambassador Wilson to
Washington would change his pro-
jected lecture tour. He replied:
"The newspaper have assumed that
my lecture dates would not interfere
with business, instead of assuming
that they would All my lecture dates
we're made subject to cancellation,
Senator Fall has informally notified
the foreign relations committee that
he intends to ask the senate to dis
charge it from further consideration
Of his bill to repeal the neutrality
statute of 1912, under which the Huer-
ia government now is importing mu.
nitions of war, while they are denied
to the constitutionalists. He will ask
the senate to pass it,
