REPORTS TO PRESIDENT AT
AN HOURS CONFERENCE.
SITUATION Is NOT CRITICAL

Talk Of Officials and Retains
Open Mind on Matter.

Washington,--Thc conference be-
tween President Wilson and Ambassa-
dor Henry Lane Wilson regarding the
Mexican situation lasted exactly one
hour. At its conclusion, Ambassador
wilson made the following statement:
My conference with the president
was devoted 10 presenting before him
the exact facts in Mexico. No policy
was discussed by me. gave the
president my views and he will de-
eide as he pleases."
The ambassador said he did not
know If he would see the president
again, but presumed he would be-
fore leaving Washington.
That there Is no more necessity
for Intervention today than there was
a month ago, was the belief in Official
circles. While the situation continues
serious, il is stlll regarded as far from
critical.
1t was made very plain from al Of.
ficlal source that President Wilson
believes much of the present agita.
ton is due to newspaper manipula-
tons. II was said certain newspapers
and persons whose relatives are in
the troubled zone are alone RESPONSE.
bic for the increased apprehension.
The president, it can be stated on un.
questioned authority, intends continu.
Ing his Investigations in a big broth
erly' manner, which has not vet
taken into consideration force Of
arms"
On the eve Of his conference with
Ambassador Wilson the president was
said to be far from pessimistic on
Mexican affairs. The repoN that he
was considering dual plan which
the ambassador already had placed in
his hands was characterized at the
executive offices as absurd. Absolute
ly no recommendation Is contained in
the yoluminous report dictated by the
ambassador on Saturday.
irresponsible talk on the part Of
persons high in authority and the at
tributing to the president by a news
agency of views he did not entertain
are the only things which have COM
pIicated the Mexican situation, ac-
cording to the administration There
is little doubt that report of the re
cent debate In the senate and house
aggravated certain factions In Mexico
This today makes the problem Of
American assistance in restoring
peace to the troubled territory more
difficult And, in the opinion of the
president and his closest advisers,
this is the only thing which has
changed the Mexican situation in a
month.
