WASHINGTON, July 30.-Ambassa-
dor Henry Lane Wilson advocated a
restricted recognition of the Huerta
conference with the Senate foreign
relations committee, today, but The
senators took no action.
The details of his plan were not
divulged at the time, but some of
the Republican senators said the am
bassador had made a favorable inn
preston, not necessarily rs to mis-
plan but as to his whole story of
events in Mexico.
1t was evident that senators had
been keenly looking forward to first
hand information from the ambassa-
dor The conference began promptly
at the hour set.
Secretary Bryan was not present.
Begins with Fall of Diax.
Ambassador Wilson began with a
chronological recital of his personal
observations of Porfirio Diaz, and
spoke at length of the downfall of
Madero and the rise of Huerta.
The committee was disposed to let
the ambassador tell his story in his
own way and for more than two
hours he continued an almost un-
broken narrative, interrupted only
occasionally by a question from some
senator.
Extraordinary injunctions of secrecy
were placed Son all senators In the
conference, but 1t was evident that
the committee was listening atten-
lively and no disposition to cross
examine the ambassador developed
at least during the first part of the
conference.
With President Wilson still firmly
opposed to recognition of the Huerta
government in Mexico and his plans
for mediation seemingly futile, 1t is
believed by many here that friends
of President Huerta will try to In
duce him to resign.
Huerta Puts Trouble Up to Wilson.
But Huerta is credited in dis
patches with the statement that the
failure of President Wilson to rec
ognlze his government is responstf1ie
for Mexico's present troubles and that
the elimination of the rebellion In
the north and the brigandage in the
south is but question of weeks
Francisco de la Barra, newly ap-
pointed Mexican minister to France,
now on his way here from Vera Cruz,
will confer with President Wilson
when he reaches Washington, 1t is
and the administration
believes a way will be found for
Mexico to settle her own troubles.
Friends of Gen. Huerta, who have
been making an investigation in this
city, have ascertained that President
Wilson is opposed to recognition or
the Huerta government on account
of the circumstances through which
1t came into power.
Say Easiest Way Out Is to Quit.
In the knowledge that Mr.. Wilson
is obdurate in his refusal to listen to
that Hureta receive for
NAL recognition from this govern
ment, the men who are working here
and in Mexico toward a restoration
of peace have reached the conclusion
that the earliest escape from the diff
ficulty is to appeal to Huerta to step
down and out.
Perhaps the most significant move
was the departure for Mexico City of
Oscar ]. Braniff, a friend of Huerta,
who was sent to this country. accord
ing to the understanding in official
as Huerta's personal and
financial representative.
1t is understood Mr.. Braniff
learned enough to convince him that
If the present status of Mexican af-
fairs did not change the government
of the United States would be forced
to adopt a policy of Intervention.
