Pleaded for Maderc.

He told the committee that he had gone
tc Huerta five times with the German
Minister 10 Mexico To demand that no
harm should befall Madero. and that he
hsd received Huertas assurance that this
would be done. He expressed the opinion
that the former President had been assas,
sinated by the followers Of military lead
ers who had been executed by Madero and
the fathers of several young men who had
been shot by his order, but without the
knowledge or consen: Of Huerta himself
Ambassador Wilson departed somewhat
from his original plan by saying to-day
that it would not be necessary for the
United States to assist the Huerta gov
ernment in restoring order in the north
ern states. This he thought could be
done by the Huerta government itself
as soon as II has been placed on a firm
basis by the recognition of the United
States. He also said that IT would no,
be necessary for the United States TO CO.
operate to the extent of supervising the
proposed election. The name Of Manuel
Calero. formerly Ambassador to the
United States. was mentioned as one
fitted to take charge cf the election ma
chncry.
Ambassador Wilson thought there
would be no difficulty I'm securing Hu-
ertas assent 10 these conditions. He was
willing To comply with even more drastic
conditions proposed by President TAFT.
although the plan failed because Of the
opposition OF Scnor De Ia Barra. His
condition at the present time is much
more desperate than it was then.
Ambassador Wilson said he believed.
should Huerta be induced To retire, that
a man strong enough 10 shoulder the re-
sponsibilities of the Ruerta government
was available although he was somewhat
reluctant TO say whom he had in mind.
Ambassador Wilson will probably ap-
pear before the Foreign Relations Com
mittee again, as he had not completed his
recital when adjournment was taken to-
day.
