Says Huerta Rules by Murder.
Washington, July H. President
Wilson yielded to the foreign pressure
for declaration of policy On Next
CO to the extend of directing Secre.
tary Bryan to summon Henry Lane
Wilson, ambassador to Mexico, to
Washington at once for a conference
on the situation. This action was an
nounced following a conference be-
tween the president and Mr.. Bryan.
Ambassador Wilson cannot reach
Washington for at least a week and 1t
is expected that further developments
in the situation as far as Washington
is concerned will cease until mis- ar
rival.
1t is established beyond question
that the presidents action was due to
the union of the diplomatic corps in
Mexico City in declaring the United
States attitude toward Mexico a con-
trlbutory cause ofthe increasing dis
orders there and the request from a
European government that the Wash
ingIon government indicate what it
intends 10 do about the situation. In
many quarters it was declared en-
phatically that the Wilson administra-
tion is now confronted with the alter
natives Of recognition or interven-
tion."
Ambassador Favors Huerta.
Ambassador Wilson is personally in
favor of the recognition of the present
government in Mexico. 1t will be
Iaost difficult for the president to ac--
cept the ambassadors views. The
White House has repeatedly let it
be known that the administration is
determined not to recognize Huerta
and his government. To reverse this
policy at this belated date would be
to give ground for the belief in all
Latin-America that the United States
was compelled to yield to pressure
from Europe and that therefore
European nations and not the United
States are supreme in the affairs Of
the Spanish Americn republics.
Interests Are Suffering.
Meantime American interests are
suffering daily from the failure OF the
United States to establish relations
with the Huerta government In adj
dition to the intense anttAnn erican
spirit which has been aroused through
Mexico, the embassy is itself greatly
hampered in its representations to the
government at Mexico City. Not
having recognized Huerta, II can only
make informal demands on the Huerta
government.
The announcement that Ambassa-
dor Wilson was to be summoned to
Washington brought into the limelight
Mr.. Bryan's lecture tours. Bryan said
the coming of the ambassador would
not at all interfere with his plans for
the round of the chautauQua circuits
So II was inferred that President VII
son Is agreeable to having Mr.. Bryan
absent from the city when he meets
Wilson. Mr.. Bryan show
ed signs of temper and said he would
have supposed the newspapers wouI1
have assumed that he would not neg
lect his official business for the max
ing of speeches for hire. Nr. Bryan
left for Mountain Lake Park, Nd,
where he will speak before a chau.
tauqua assembly. He will receive $3.50
for his speech.
...,,,, Carranza Protests.
Governor Carranza, leader of the
only organized revolution in Mexico.
telegraphed instructions to his repre-
sentatives here to protest against con-
sideration of recognition of Huerta.
Mrs. Francisco Madero, widow Of
the former president Of Mexico. rs
now in Washington. She said, referr-
ing to the Huerta government:
81 do not believe that a traitors
government can last long,"
