President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
have adopted the attitude that the
elimination of Victoriano Husrta

y assured and that the first stem to- 10.

Mexico has been accomplished.
There was the authoritative decla-
ration to-day OF administration OF.

That oral assurances had been
d'anaires of the American embassy,
of Huerta,s intention not to be a can

That the United States would con
strue literally the argument In the
second note OF FREDERICK Gamboa,
Mexican minister OF foreign affair
who pointed out at great length that

That any effort on the part OF
Huerta to cfrcumvent the constitl.
ton by resigning in advance OF the
elections in favor OF another pro
visional president, would be regarded
by the United States as a breach OF
faith before the world.

Much stress was laid by the OF

Gamboa in his second note of the
