AMBASSADOR COMING

Washington, July 24.-Intervention as the only method of settling the war scare confronts the President tonight
 Mediation, the keynote of his pres ent policy, with the public men at both ends of the capital will fail. After considering this plan of settling the differences of the contendng fac tions, senators and representatives believe that all will reject it.
 Carranza will assuredly reject it. Francisco Escudero, the official rep resentatlve of the constitutionaliSts told the International News Service that CarranZa could not afford to con- sider the suggestion. Carranza holds that it would be impossible to hold any constitutional election at this time to be fair. The federal centers of the several states dominate the election and these are in the hands of Huerta. The people are not accus- toned to constitutional voting Even if the election could be fair, under the constitution, the Huerta congress and the Huerta supreme court would review and concur in the election and the result would be Huerta. Eighty per cent of the people of Mexico are constitutionalists and they could not accept as final the election returns read and announced by Huerta par tisans. It would simply mean another revolution at once.
 Nor would Huerta be willing. If the election were held Huerta would m hn uil1inn tn hn that come in from the Carranza states which are in a majority and Carran- ga adherents would not accept the returns sent in from the federal cen ters under Huerta S control.
 Chairman Flood, of the House For eiga Affairs Committee, assured Pres ident Wilson today that the Demo- crats of his committee are opposed to intervention and will support him in any diplomatic move that he may make to bring about peace and the security of American lives.
 Pending the Presidents efforts along this line plans will be laid by House leaders to prevent discussion of Mexican matter which may tend to inflame the Mexicans.
 W II. icLiCA, oA C|A- as, made another intellectual attempt to move the War Department to ac- tion for the relief of Americans be- sieged by Mexican bandits at Madeira, in the State of Chihuahua.
 Wycke Greer, editor of paper at El Paso, sent second urgent tele- gram saying that fresh reports were coming in telling of the desperate condition of the Americans. MT. Smith was informed that the govern ment would not consent to the send ing of an American relief party. No offer of mediation has been rendered, but it was announced today that the administration has a definite plan for the justification of the disturbed re- public. What the exact details of this plan are have not been revealed.
 Senator Bacon, chairman Of the Committee on Foreign Relations and Representative Flood, chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Af- fairs, had another conference with the President this morning. Both admitted it related to Mexican af- fairs and both men declared they knew nothing of the details of what ever plan the President has in mind. The President is holding his own counsel and working it out alone. He will probably submit his plan to the Cabinet meeting tomorrow.
 It is now definitely known that the United States government is admials- tering the neutrality law impartially. Neither Huerta nor the Carranza party can import arms and ammunl- tion and upon this fact the Carranza faction expect speedy victory.
 It is stated officially that the com ing of Ambassador Wilson has noth- ing to do with the Presidents plan. MT. Wilson will be asked for all the information in his possession and TOT his advice. 1t is not likely that ne will be asked to remain in council or to know the plan and policy or the administration. It is announced that the ambassador will not reach the capital before Saturday. me President has not made up his mlnd whether he will have a conference with him before Monday or not.
