REJECT THE VIEW
Of HI. WILSON
President Does Not Agree With
Mexican Ambassador.
MAY ACCEPT RESIGNATION
The Diplomats Recommendation That
the Huerta Government Be Recog-
nized Not Kindly Received
at Washington.

Washington, July 29.-Ambassadol
Henry Lane Wilson, summoned from
Mexico City to inform the Washing
ton administration of conditions Of the
rebellion-torn republic, talked for an
hour with President Wilson and Sec
rotary Bryan, submitting chiefly a
recommendation that the United
States use it's influence to establish
the Huerta regime. No policy was
evolved-at least none was announced
but it became known that the presi-
dents ideas and those of Ambassador
Wilson as to the course to be pursued
are so radically different that the ad-
ministration officials interpreted the
days developments as forecasting the
acceptance of Ambassador Wilson'S
resignation.
President Wilson and the ambassa-
dor regard the future of the Mexican
situation it was learned, from o2ro-
site viewpoints. The President is
concerned over the morality OF any
policy adopted by the United States
and the effect on other Latin-Ameri-
can countries, and is disinclined to
strengthen a government that came
into power through the questionable
events incident to Madero's assassi-
nation.
Looks to Future.
Ambassador Wilson, on the other
hand, is disposed to look at the situa-
ton, not from past events, but with
the practical idea of the future. He
believes it the business of the govern
ment 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 interests.

standpoint of maintaining in Mexico

ambassador would be contingent upon
the establishment of a satisfactory
government at Mexico City. Mean
