CABINET DISCUSSED
MEXICAN SITUATION
But No Important Action Was Taken
in Washington-Many Moves
Under Consideration.

WASHINGTON. Nov. IS-President
Wilson and his cabinet met today and
discussed the latest phases of the Mex
lean situation. Over night develop
ments brought no change. but keen
interest was shown in the organization
of the new Mexican Congress. Some
of the officials were inclined to be
heve that the body would heed the
warning CT the United States and take
no action. The talk of lockadiug the
Mexican ports was revived, but high
officials said such steps had not been
determined upon. Many moves are
under consideration, but the foremost
advisers of the administration are
counselling patience while the consti-
tutionalists are pursuing their cam
paign. The report that Gen. Carranza
might not need to have the embargo
on arms lifted to insure his success
strengthened the conviction of many
officials that such action should be TAX
en- only in remote contingency.
