Making Statement
ATTITUDE OF U. S.
DISCUSSED In PRIVATE
By the United Press


WASHINGTON, Oct. 27-Not a
single additional fact was received
here late this afternoon that would
throw light on the Mexican situation
Secretary of State Bryan held a con-
ference with Secretary Tumulty in the
executive offices, at which the attitude
of the United States was touched on.
Neither official. however. would dis
cuss the conference in any way.
There is no use of saying anything
at this time," said the Secretary of
State. $50 far as yesterdays elections
were concerned, and the attitude of
this government toward them, there
can be nothing official said at this
time. We have not yet received sny
official dispatches regarding the num-
ber of votes cast, nor whether any
one candidate received the majority"
The secretary positively refused TO
discuss "The outline Of policy which
ii is understood has been prepared
and awaits the approval Of President
Wilson to be made public. He is
known TO be much exercised over the
fact that such a note had been pre-
pared being permitted TO leak out. And
IL is believed that he will oppose its
being made public for some time to
come unless the exigencies of the next
few days should force the administra-
TONS hand. Meanwhile the Presi-
dent will be kept in touch at all times
with every development by the secre-
