WILSON MAY LIFT
 EMBARGO ON ARMS
poIie,ed President Will Give C0nsti- utionalists Chance to Eliminate Huerta - British Paper
 Gives Warming.

Washington, NOV. 1l.-DeNelop- .,,rts in the Mexican situation here yesterday tended to emphasize ournose on the part of the Wash ineton government to refuse to rec oenize any of the acts of the new Mexican congress and brought to Hobt that President Wilson is seri- ouslv considering permitting eXpor- tations of arms to all factions in Mexico.
 Secretary Bryan had a long con forenre with Senor Algara, charge d'atrairs of the Mexican embassy, during which it is understood he said the United States considered fine election of congressman equally 9s invalid as the voting for presi- dent and vice president.
 The secretary summoned the ministers from five Central Ameri- can countries and outlined to them what had been done by the United States in it's diplomatic parleys with fine Huerta government. Later he announced that he had also been in communication with the diplomatic representatives of the European Dowers and had informed them of the steps taken by the United States thus far.
 Say Break Is Approaching.
 It was reported that some of these diplomats transmitted long dispatches to their home govern ments describing the situation as approaching closer to a complete break in relations between the United States and Mexico than at any time since the Mexican prob lem became troublesome.
 The State Department made pub lie Huertas statement to the diplo- matte corps in Mexico City at mid night Saturday, the burden of which was that the presidential election would be declared null and void, but that the newly elected members of Congerss soon would be installed; that the national legislature would soon resume the legislative powers which General Huerta had seen fit to assume during the interim be- tween the arrest of the deputies for sedition and the induction of the new members of Congress.
 mcrta's Reply Obvious.
 In view of the fact that the note recited in detail Huerta's defense of his assumption of legislative au- thorily and his arrest of the depu- ties and gave also his program for the future, 1t was taken by many diplomats as an obvious reply to the American suggestion that he ellml- nate himself. The Mexican embas- sy here, which received copy oi the note, declared in an official statement, it may be assumed that Inc dispatches received represent the attitude of President Huerta and indicate the nature of his reply to the inquiry of the government ot the United States regarding his pur- poses in view of the recent preSl- dential elections"
 White House officials called at tention to what seemed to them an inconsistency in the Huerla note, wherein it assumed as valid the election of congressman but de- clared null and voil the voting for president and vice president, who were chosen simultaneously with the congressman.
 Recognition to Be Denied.
 The purpose of the United States neither to recognize Huerta's rights to continue in power nor the acts of the new Congress is the essence of what has been communicated to the foreign diplomats by this gov ernment Future steps have not been outlined. It is understood that while the policy of the government has to keep foreign natious con- tinually informed, there has been no direct effort to seek support for the American program. There is no secret, however, of the desire. of the United States for the acqule- scence of the powers in it's policy Refusal to recognize the acts of the new Congress, which can grant con sessions or ratify loan agreements, would be calculated, American or ticials say, to further weaken the resources of the Huerta govern mpDf
