I Washington, July 16.-President
Wilson today, after an early confer
ence with Secretary Bryan over the
latest aspects Of the Mexican situa-
ton presented by the inquiries of for
eign powers as to the attitude OF the
United states, ordered Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson at Mexico City to
proceed to Washington Immediately
for conference.
Ambassador Wilson will hurry north
Oh either the. battleship Michigan or
louisiana from Vera Cruz. if any delay
would be entailed by waiting for
commercial steamer. Officials here
believe that the almost total Interrupt
ton Of traffic between Mexico City
and the United States will force the
ambassador to make his trip by wa
ter. He is not expected here before
July % at the earliest.
it is believed in official and diploma
tic circles that an important announce
ment of tha attitude Of the United
ata stugsicn wiAh
be the result of the dn1DassaavlAs 3 ss'9i1
ferences with the president and secre-
tary Bryan. The presidents action
follows closely the unofficial announce
ment that some of the foreign powers
which already have recognized the
Huerta government were pressing for
indication of this governments atti-
tude toward the continued disorders in.
Mexico City.
Secretary Bryan positively declined
to add any information to his brief
announcement Of Ambassador Will
sons call to washington.
However, it is assumed that the
administration desired to learn from
the ambassador directly what influen-
ces actuated the foreign diplomats
represented in Mexico when they
ioitly agreed to address their govern
ments with what amounted to for
NAL complaint against the attitude oil
the United states in it's relations with
the Huerta regime. President Wilson
has kept an open mind on the subject
and is thought to feel bound to adhere
to the policy he announced early inI
his administration of lending moral
announcement only to such govern
ments in Latin America as were
founded on constitutional law and
practice. It is understood that he Isl
ready to give due weight to any repre-
sentations Ambassador Wilson may
care to make.
The president has had the benefit
Of private reports from several Of his
personal friends who have travelled I'M
Mexico recently, but those were unof-
fetal and not sufficient to form the ba-
sis Of a formal attitude if there we're
to be any change in policy.
Secretary Bryan was asked # the
coming Of Ambassador Wilson to-
Washington would change his project
ed lecture tour He replied;
@The newspapers might have assum-
ed that my lecture dates would not in
terfere with business, instead Of ash
cunning that they would. All my lee
ture were made subject to caneefla-
ton"
Senator Fall has informally notified
the foreign relations ecmmHtee that
be intends to ask the senate to dis
charge it from further consideration
Of his bill to repeal the neutrality stat
ute of 1912 under which the Huerta
government now is importing muni-
tions of war, while they are denied to
the constitutionalists He win ask the
senate to pass it.
