washington, Nov. 13.-President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan feel con-
fident Huerta soon will be eliminated
as the provisional Mexican president.
This IS because of the united support
from European powers for the United
States Mexican policy as shown by
numerous quiet diplomatic activities.
The financial blockade by the United
States has frightened the European
purse strings. The reports that Huerta
has gone into seciusfon and that
diplomats and friends are exertiner a
powerful pressure on him made Wash
ingfon believe that definite results may
be expected. News that England has
agreed to leave the solution of the
Mexican problem to the United States
and that England would not give
Husrta financial support, created a fa-
vorabio impression here
The president decided he would not
issue the report he had prepared tell
ing what had been attempted through
Charge OsShaughnessy and John Lind,
as reports today made this unneces-
sary Tor the present. He said that
while he could not discuss the case,
the new elements made it look more
favorable
The presidassa saEe ft clear that the
primary conditions for a settlement
vaa the ousting OF Huerta. and his
government 1t is expected the exten@
sion OF tho Jnited States artoraa sun
port to the constitutfonalists will as
TO extremes the United States will lift
the embargo on arTns and this will aid
the constftutfouaIistS.
The United States expects to aid
Mexican5 all that is possible in ef-
focting peaceful solution of the diff
cult problem.
NO RESPONSE FROM HUERTA.
The demand which the American
government made yesterday ON the
provisional authorities at Mexico City
had not up to that time brought any
response from Huerta, or those repre-
senting him.
The American charge, Mr.. O'Shaugh-
messy, had not been Instructed to call
for his passports, nor have any steps
been taken thus far toward the with
tlra.wal OF his diplomatic functions.
Any further steps in that regard are
still to be determined.
The latest American demands call
upon Huerta for action which will
prevent the meeting of the congress
noted upon at the election held on Oc-
tober 26 and no retoiTder has been
made to that demand.
Unofficial negotiations which Will
liam Bayard Hale is carrying forward
with General Carranza at Nogales,
Mex, have to do principally with the
question of raising the embargo on
arms, although it is expected to de-
velop much other information concern
ing the conStitutionalists.
Reports that a Pacific blockade may
be applied to the ports of Mexico are
conjectural and no serious considera-
ton is at present being given to that
move, although it is among other pos
sIbilities of redress.
While South and Central American
countries are being consulted and ad-
yised concerning the Mexican problem
there is no concerted move toward
securing united Pan-A American action
President Wilson prepared a state
ment setting forth the attitude of the
United States. but it was not made
pubiis as originally planned, but with
held ''for the present
STEP NEARER SETTLEMENT.
