Mr.. Wilson says to-day that he nad

ing il with any other government he

with the course Of Ambassador wilson
This was evident soon after the arri-
val of Mr.. Wilson in this country from
Mexico. Upon landing in New YORK.
Mr.. Wilson broke out with a number
of views on the Mexican situation
which were not only at variance with
this administration. but which were
considered here most indiscreet. Then
he came on to washington for what

ferences, upon which the President
would base his whole Mexican policy
His visit proved a fZzle. He saw
the Secretary Of State for a couple
Of hours and then wrote report.
Finally n visited the White House
and conferred with the President for
fifty minutes Later it was made
known in an emphatic manner that
the President had learned nothing from
Mr. Wilson which changed his views or
influenced his previous Judgment.
This was after Mr. Wilson had gone
before the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations and told story
which made a strongly favorable i'm
preston on the Senators and prompted
them 10 criticise the Senate against
the President and the administration
Of the Department OF State.
Mr.. Wilson came 10 Washington fun

pressed. that the recognition Of Huerta
