Wash ington. Nov. 10.-Pr.sident
Wilson. IL was learned today. is CIV
Ing serious consideration To raising
the embargo on arms. In his talks
with senators he has asked their ad-
wise particularly on that point and
has been advised by most OF them to
lift the embargo.
The President discussed the Mcxi-
can situation and cleared the ntmos-
phcre Of many reports us to the in
tention OF the United States. He
made II clear that he had no inten-
tion at present Of addressing con-
rress but the situation was not In
shape for him to have anything to
say, and that while certain rcpresen-
tations had been made to the Huer-
ia government. no reply had been
received. He declared that no time
limit had been set for reply from
Huerta.
The text Of the statement given to
the diplomatic corps at midnight on
Saturday by President Huerta
reached here today from Charge o.
Shaughn n essy. Secretary Bryan would
not comment on 1t further than 20
say last nights despatch from Mcxi-
co City described 1t accurately.
In FORMAL comment on Huerta's
statement. however. emphasized that
while the elections Of the President
and vice president were to be de-
clared null and void, Hurta intended
to consider the election OF congress
valid. BY the Washington govern
ment that is regarded as an tncoh-
sistency OF which foreign nations
must take cognizance and the impress
sion prevailed that reputation OF all
acts of the new congress would re
forthcoming by the United States.
The President made it plain that
foreign governments had been fuiiy
advised within the last week of the
sfeps taken by the United States. but
that the future policy of this govern
mept was dependent on further de-
velopments.
In discussing the Mexican sttua-
.iop with newspaper men the Presi-
dent spoke especially against repre-
sentlng the situation as more serious
than it really was. The President
pojnted out that the sensational re-
norts embarrassed the task Of the ad-
mintstration, especially when these
reports were in advance of those
made by the administration.
