WASNfNGTOS. NOV. l3.-N New nope fOt
n satisfactory adjustment Of the Mexi-
can situation without resort to interven-
ton ny United States forces was found
by President Wilson to-day. SO sub
s,antial are the new developments re-
garded that President Wilson is now
more confident than ever that Hierta
will he eliminated soon from Mexican
affairs and that an entirely new Govern
ment satisfactory to the United States
will be created in the southern republic.
The following optimistic statement Of
the situation was authorized 10y the
President this afternoon:
"rhere are elements ." this ease
which . cannot AZ pres~nt disruss.
hot which make II iooL 10 me yer,

The negotiations now under way with
Gen. Carranza. chief Of the Constitu-
tionalists. necessarily play an important
ministration. lust how favorably Car.
rama Is regarded by President Wilson
and his advisers was not disclosed until
day.
1t is known now thai both President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan feel tina.
justice requires that arms be given to
the Constiiutionalists and there is n,
doubt that upon Carranza and his fol-
lowers the Administration is pinning it,
hope for \ new government rising ou.
Of the chaos in Mexico.
The news that Secretary Of Sta,e
Bryan is regarding with tolerance the
suggestion that the embargo ON arms
and ammunition be lifted along tho
Mexican border IL most significant OF
the general drift on the part Of the Ad-
ministration. for the Secretary OF state
up to this time had been bitterly op-
posed to this idea.
The President up to this time has
been very guarded In regard to any
statements for quotation on the Mexican
situation. and his brief uttrrance to- day
was on this account viewed with great
significance
Favorable in the Presidents vocab-
ulary with regard to Mexico means
Presidency. II means also in the Ad-
ministrations mind tile elimination of nil
of Huertas supporters, in short. the
complete overthrow Of the Huerta re-
gime.
SuppOrt OF Powers Expected.
President Wilson did not disclose the
developments which have brought this
renewed hope. There is good reason TO
believe that one of the developments
which have inspired the President with
confidence Is Hat assurances from Euro
pean Powers that they will support the
United States In it's efforts to eliminate
the Mexican dictator and establish
orderly. constitutional government in
the southern republic.
II is the understa nding here that Ger
many has given very specific assurances
Of this character and advices which
reached Washington tonight from Ber
lir through unofficial channels con-
firmed this view II is believed also
that further assurances of similar
character have passed from the British
Foreign ONCE to the State Department
With the support Of both Great Brit
ain and Germany the United States
would be backed morally by the two
European Powers having the largest in
terests in the Mexican republic.
II can be said definitely now that
representatives Of the European Gov
ernments are advising Huerta to get out
and save himself while the opportunity
ia open. European Governments are
convinced that II is only a matter of
time and method before Huerta must
concluded as speedily as possible and
that steps be taken toward the r-stora-
ton OF peace and prosperity.
Huerts Has Made No ConcesaIons.
Notwithstanding the pressure of the
foreign Governments. however. Huerta
has az yet given no indication that he
has been moved by these representa-
tions. but. on the contrary. has con-
tended that he has nothing to gain but
everything to lose by Withdrawing.
So far as could be learned tonight
President Wilson's optimism Is not based
on any intimation or sign from the
Mexican dictator that he will Weld The
latest understa nding OF Huerta's posi-
ton is that he has not altered his
determination in the slightest to retain
his present office untn the choice Of
his successor by the Mexican electorate.
