Continued from First Page.)

President Wilson, who Is equally re-
sponsible with the Secretary OF State
Tor the present policy, spent the morn
ing playing golf.
When seen for short while after the
morning conference, the ambassador
told the newspaper men that he had no
comments to make on his interview
With the Secretary. Mr.. Bryan had
LETT the state Department. TO appear
before the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations In reference TO his proposal
regarding a protectorate for the Mica
1ag4lan republic.
Mr.. Wilson remained behind In she
Secretary's office, and with a file be-
fore him OF official documents relating
TO Mexico, dictated TO stenographers mis-
formal statement to the Secretary.
"Ny remarks in New York yesterday
were not correctly reported; things
were attributed To me in the newspapers
that ! never sain was the declara ton

Wilson, when asked to ampitfy on his
reported characterization Of the Admin
istration's Mexican mediation scheme az

To assist him in this matter"
Wilson denied emphatically that he
had labeled General Carranca a bandit.
'Emphatically. 1 said he was not a

way these revolutions are kept going.
If they said to a Mexican, Come, fight

There is only one bona. fide revolu-
tio1 with high ideals as its mainsnring
IN Mexico. That is the revoipticn in
eInor yPasqhiera. They are fighting for
states rights, and they are doing no
lopting.
Didn't Call Mediation "Rot"
'I never told anyone that the media
ton plan was rot" continued the am
bessadcr. 81 heard such a story was
10 be printed and denied it, but 1 do
say now that a board of mediation
sent down among those reyolutionists-
revolrtIonists as all Latins are-would
have about as much success as board
Of mediation would have IN settling the
riots.
Il am opposed to the idea of nedia-
ton with the aid of any other power

aRernment would not receive media

Ambassador Wilson denied that he
had ever said he favored recognition by
this country of the Huerta government.
He said, however, that the Huerta gov
eminent was strong and virile," and
that with recognition by the United
states H could weather the dissension
and establish peace.
