Washington. - Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson, summoned from Mexico
City to inform the Washington admin
istration of conditions in the rebellion
torn republic, talked for an hour with
President Wilson and Secretary Bry-
an Monday, submitting chiefly a rec
ommendation that the United States
use Its influence to establish the
Huerta regime.

was announced, but it became known
that the Presidents ideas and those

forecasting the acceptance of Ambas-
sador Wilson's resignation.
President Wilson and the ambassa-
dor looked at the future Mexican stu.
alton from opposite viewpoints. The
President is concerned over the NOR
ality of any policy adopted by the
United States and its effect on other
Latin-American countries and is dis
inclined to strengthen the govern

alton, not from past events, but with

The appointment of a new ambas-
sador would be contingent upon the
establishment of satisfactory gov.

the President advised Ambassador
Wilson to take rest for few days.

American government were debating
the facts of the situation it became
known that movement was on foot
which eventually might spare the
United States the necessity of offer
