Will Show President He Can't
Hope for Recognition.
NEED OF MONEY PRESSING
"A Change of Administration
the Only Way.
United States Will Await Out
come of Negotiations.

Washington, July 29.-PreSident
Wilson had no announcement to make
today about the policy toward Mexi-
co, but there is every reason to be-
lieve no steps will be taken by this
country pending the outcome of the
plans being laid by leading Mexicans
to bring about peace.
The fact that some of the mediators
interested in adjusting the differences
between the followers of Huerta and
Carranza were instrumental in per-
suading Porfirio Diaz to abdicate, is
encouraging officials in touch with
Mexican affairs to believe that their
efforts may bring about the resigna-
ton of President Huerta.
While the MeXicans who are taking
an active part in the plans refuse to
permit the use of their names at this
time, they have proceeded to the point
of informing Secretary Bryan what
they have in mind. No developments
are expected for at least a fortnight
The argument the MeXicans are said
to be planning to place before Huerta
is that the United States under no cir
cumstances would recognize his
regime and that to extricate Mexico
from its financial straits, it is neces-
sary to establish a new administration
to obtain the recognition of the Amer
lean government. If President Huerta
were willing to abdicate, men accept
able to him as well as the constitu-
tionalists have been tentatively Sc
1ected from whom successor would
be named.
Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson had
nothing to say today about the devel-
opments on the situation generally. He
had not decided when he would leave
for his vacation.
Although the senate foreign rela-
tions committee met today, Ambassa-
dor Wilson was not invited to appear.
1t has become known that the presi-
dents ideas and those of Ambassador
Wilson as to the course to be pursued
are so radically different that the ad
officials interpreted de-
as forecasting the accept
ance of Wilson's reSigna-
ton.
Americans Are Released.
Washington, July 29.-Charles Bis
sci and Bernard Mcdonald, the two
mine managers held by Mexican fed
erals under sentence of death at Chi
huahua, have been ordered released

the secretary to continue his extended
report of conditions in the southern
republic. The senate foreign relations
committee held a special meeting at
which Secretary Bryan appeared to
