The action of the commissioners is
based on an opinion written. by Cleve-
land H. Baker, the late attorney gen

 sage to Huerta.
1T AII6HT PROVE DANGEROUS.
The impression Prevails, However. That Mexican President Did Re- ceive Some Word From Wash
 ington as to His Attitude.
 Cabinet Meeting Is Held.

Washington. Nov. 5.-Secretary Bryan ultimatum had been sent to Mexico. This was in answer to a report that President Wilson had made a formal demand on Dictator Huerta that he re- sign office. The secretary said:
 No ultimatum has been sent to Mexico, and it is unfortunate that the press should give credence to such report. The harm done by speculation or even inaccuracies with regard to domestic questions Is limited because the people are acquainted with the sub ject and can make allowances. but as misstatements with regard to interna- tional matters may lead to serious consequences. I feel justified in mak- ing the above denial"
 The secretary would not say whether any other kind of notice was submit ted.
 The impression prevails here that while the dispatches from Mexico City probably attribute an exaggerated form to the attitude of the United States. President Wilson has undoubt- edly informed Huerta that while his retirement from the presidency Is wanted by this government, the access sion of General Blanquet will be just as objectionable as would be the reten- ton of the place by Huerta.
 Seek Europe's Support.
 It is believed also that the United States. through informal exchanges. Is endeavoring to enlist the support of the European governments In order to convince Huerta that 1t Is useless to seek to control longer the government at Mexico City.
 Tn any event 1t is certain that few days will see the Mexican situation brought to a head. Huerta must soon decide whether he will yield to or defy the United States. Tn the latter event there will be no course open to Presi. impose his will upon Mexico. Mexico City. Nov. 5.-Provisional President Huerta appears not yet to have delivered any reply to the com muncation from the United States gov ernment delivered to him telling him he must resign the presidency of Mex leo without loss of time and that he must not leave as his successor any member of his official family or of his official adherents whom he might be expected to control.
