MEXICO IS RECOGNIZED
BY JAPAN AND RUSSIA
Ambassador Wilson's Official
Conduct Is Not Being
Investigated.

japan and Russia are the latest nations
to recognize the Huerta government of
Mexico, according to advices received at
the Mexican embassy. Ministers of both
nations in Mexico City have advised the
minister of foreign affairs. Francisco de
la Barra, that messages from their SOW
ereigns. addressed to President Huerta
and felicitating him upon his accession
are on the way.
Great Britain, France. Spain. Austria,
South American republics have so far
United States, Germany and Italy are the
only great nations that so far have with
held this diplomatic acknowledgment.
The official conduct of Henry Lane Will
son, ambassador of the United States to
the Mexican government, Is not being in
vestigated by the State Department, ru-
mors to the contrary notwithstanding.
The most emphatic sort of official denial
to published reports was given yester-
day afternoon by Secretary Bryan.
Bryan Personally Denies Story.
The denial of the Secretary of State
was especially aimed at press accounts
purporting to have the support of OFF,
Gals to the statement that Ambassador
Wilson Is under fire. The statement
was given to the newspapermen by Sec
rotary Bryan himself
my attention has just been called to
a statement to the effect that the De-
partment Of State Is investigating the
official conduct of Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson, who represents this coun-
try at the Mexican capital said the
denial. Il understand that these reports
have been republished in Mexico.
hasten to deny the same.
''They are entirely without foundation.
The department is not conducting and
has not conducted any such investiga-
ton. and in denying the statements and
all differences which have been built upon
them l desire to add that l cannot un-
derstand why any American newspaper
would give circulation to such misstate-
ments. knowing, as the newspaper must,
that they would embarrass a representa-
tive of the United States in the perform
ance Of his official duty while he is deal
ing with a difficult situation
The Secretary declined to elaborate
this statement at any point. He ex-
planned that while 1t was not his policy to
deny newspaper statements as a rule, he
was impelled to take notice of this par
ticular story because it had been printed
in the City of Mexico with harmful eff
feet.
