COnvinCes the Senate Committee He

Recognition of Pres. Huerta of
Mexico, for Safety 0fAmeriCans.
President Wilson and Sec. Bryan, Democrats, Will
Probably Have to Act by His Judgement.

Huerta over Mexican affairs and to
the conditions that would result from
the downfall of the Huerta govern
ment Ambassador Wilson told Tie
Senate committee that the Huerta
government, dominated affairs through
out the republic and had driven the
Constitutionalists out of many of
their strongholds, including the states
of Coahuila and Nuevoleon.
The President, it is understood, has
information considered thoroughly re-
liable by himself and Sec. Bryan which
shows the constitutionalists' strength
to be greatly in excess of the esti-
mates of Ambassador Wilson and in
dicates that the Huerta government
dominates the situation only in I
small part of the republic.
The need for immediate recognition of
the Huerta government as laid befol e
the committee by the ambassador was
based on the belief that President Huerta
cannot control the governmental ma
chinery long under present conditions.
1t is claimed the government is running
behind monthly financially and that
American recognition is necessary to ena-

diate governmental necessities.

three hours questioning of the ambas-

opinion that serious consideration
should be given TO his recommenda-
tons for "a guarded and restricted rec
ognition of Huerta, designed to boz
ster up the present government until

The determination of the govern
