URGES UNITED STATES
TO RECOGNIZE HUERTA
RESIGNATION OF AMBASSADOR
WILSON NAY RESULT.

Views of President and diplomat Dill
fer Widely-Huerta May be Ask
ed by MeXicanS to Abdicate.
Washington, July 28.-Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson, summoned from
Mexico City to inform the Washington
administration of conditions in the
rebellion-torn Republic, talked for
an hour with President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan today, submitting
chiefly a recommendation that the
United States use its influence TO sta
bilize the Huerta regime
No policy was evolved-at least
none was announced-but it became
known that the presidents ideas and
those of Ambassador Wilson's as to
the course to be pursued are so rad
ically different that administration
officials inter lreted the days develop
ments as forecasting the acceptance
of Ambassador Wilson's resignation.
President Wilson and the ambas-
sador regard the feature of the Mex
ican situation, it was learned, from
opposite viewpoints. The president
is concerned over the morality Of any
policy adopted by the United States
and its effect on other LatinAmeri-
can countries, and is disinclined to
strengthen 2 go, ernment that came
into power through the questionable
events incident to Madero's assassina-
ton.
Ambassadors Viewpoint
Ambassador Wilson, on the other
hand, is disposed to look at the Sit
uation, not from past events, but with
the practical idea of the future. He
believes it is the business of govern
ments to look to the future and his
suggestions have been in the direc-
ton of extending recognition to the
Huerta government if it did certain
things to conserve American inter
ests.
The inadvisability from diplomat
ic standpoint of maintaining in Mex
leo City a representative who would
not be sympathetic with the purpose
of the Wilson administration in Wash
ington is said to have practically
convinced the president that the en-
passy in Mexico City had better be
conducted for the present by Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, its first secretary, re-
puted here as efficient and experience
ed. The appointment OF a new am
bassador would be contingent upon
the establishment Of satisfactory
government at Mexico City. Mean
While, the president advisd Ambassa-
dor Wilson to take rest for few
days, as he has been laboring under
a nervous strain.
May Get Huerta to Resign.
While the chief officers of the
American government were debating
the facts of the situation today it be-
came known that a movement was on
foot which might eventually spare
them tie necessity of offering media
.ion OF ether kind of interference in
Mexican affairs, upon which the ma
tional pride of Mexico is sensitive.
The plan contemplates repeti-
ton of the process by which Diaz alb
dicated in favor of a provisional pres
ident acceptable to both factions in
the revclt against him. Prominent
Mexicans CT influence are interested
in the idea, and have informed Secre-
tary Bryan that if the American gov
ernment would refrain from any pol
icy of mediation, at least for the pres
ent, they felt confident of bringing
about an understanding between the
warning forces looking toward a
peaceful solution of political difficult
ties
Provisional President Huerta, it is
suggested, in the peace plan might
be persuaded by his friends that, with
the desperate financial condition OF
Mexico, his resignation would be an
act of patriotism and self-denial, He
would be asked to name a minister
of foreign relations, a post now va
cant, so that through the constitu-
tional process of succession the min
hster would succeed him as provis-
hal president
