fortunately, there has been no dispo-
sition to draw party lines, Republic
cans being just as jealous as the
Democrats. striving earnestly to
handle the question on broad. pa
triotic basis. Speeches by Republi-

Gratis on the floor of tho Senate have

me situation is again wide open
with Huerta defying the United States,
and all other foreign governments
forbidden to interfere in the internal
affairs of Mexico.
The situation is intensified as to its
acuteness now by the fact that the
highest administration officials have
stated that under international law the
United States has no right to in
tervene in Mexico.
AT the close Of the conference to-
day all OF those who took part in Il
expressed very plainly that they had
been depressed By the news and sub
1ects of tho conference. Mr.. Bryan
Indicated before entering the confer
ence that there would be statement,
but later he said:
There will be no announcement to-
night"
He declined absolutely to discuss
the new phases of the situation. Tho
reply of Huerta is similar to the an
swer that was given to the previous
administration by President Madero,
which answer was construed by Of
hcials of the State Department as say-
ing to the United states that it might
as well mind It's own business and
lie: Mexico alone.
Senator William Alden Smith. chair
man OF the special committee that In
