WASHINGTON. Aug Mexican
affairs furnished the topic for discus
sion at a conference between Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary of State
Bryan today. They consid cred the
plan which the president has in re-
serve should the negotiations now In
progress in Mexico City bewteen lead
ing Mexicans who are trying to frame
a peace agreement prove futile. This
plan, while details of it are withheld,
contemplates sending to Mexico rep
resentative commission headed by
high official of the state department
! possibly John Bassett Moore the coun-
sellor, to investigate conditions and
recommend a peaceful remedy.
The president and secretary Of
state have been informed that nego
tiations In Mexico City have already
1 progressed to such an extent that res
ignation OF President Huerta is immi-
nent. The administration had consid-
cred making public sharp rebuke to
certain elements in this country who
are carrying on, what the president
has termed to his callers, campaign
of Misrepresentation. Inspired stories
of imminent foreign interference in
Il Mexico, the administrators evidence
siindiSates are PHI forth byscsrta arm per-
II sons Having big land and mining inter
(. ests in Mexico who hope to reap a gold
i 4
ton. 1t is positively denied today on
d the authority of the president himself
| that there has ever been received
|. here either an official or unofficial
threat Of European interference If the
: United States does not consent to in
tervene with it's army and navy to
/ restore peace, the president believes
, unit in desiring peace, He hopes pres
) sure from within is SO strong that
3 this point soon will be attained. He ig
understood to have told certain of his
callers that in as much as 1t is now
5 positively known that he will never
: recognize Huerta, the Mexicans gen
!. orally can be depended upon to rally
/, around a new leader.
The attempt to line up the senate
t committee on foreign relations against
the president has failed He has been
assured by Senator Bacon, chairman,
I that no action will be taken without
\ his consent. Bacon asked the president
! for evidence in his hands which re-
: flutes the story told by Ambassador
d Henry Lane Wilson and it will be pre-
L sented to the committee at its next
: meeting 1t consists of documentary
J. reports prepared by different individ-
d uals and it flatly contradicts some Of
n Wilson's main statements
8 1t is understood It concerns the al
q legged close relations between Huerta
:. and the American ambassador. Until
u It has been thoroughly considered
there will be no action by the senate
committee on any OF the resolutions
now before 1t which deal with Mexi-
] can affairs.
e Shortly after President Wilson and
r Secretary of State Bryan went into
y conference 1t was announced that an
eicfficial denial was being prepared Of
e the report printed extensively today
Ia that this government has been warn
,r ed" by concert of the powers that
IS Ii must restore order in Mexico or
% European nations themselves wouli
,r Intervene. It was said at the state
L department that there was no truth
in the report.
