WASHINGTON, Aug. ITO end all
irresponsible stories OF impending
armed Intervention IN Mexico. Presi-
dent Wilson today proposed to take
the public into his confidence. After
the president held conference with
Secretary of State Bryan it was
made known in administrati, circles
that Intervention is not hardly even
the remostest possiDiilty. The s'tua-
tion is clearing. according to every
account received at the white house
and the time has arrived In the opin-
ion OF the president when he can at
! least indicate the first successive
steps he will take In aiding In the
restoration Of peace. The entire plan
under consideration provides for COM
prehensive mediation, further first
hand investigation Of the causes which
have been behind the various Mexican
outbreaks and possibly as nnal re-
sort, removal OF prohibition against
( IS
lists In the north.
How far the president was prepared
4 to go along this line was not indicat-
ed because it was explained that
between now and the issuance OF his
!, statement, something might arise to
4 cause modification Of certain fea-
) Ftures ofssthe plan When the pgesi-
t dent talked today be said that he ex-
, poets to communicate to the house
and senate committee on his plan.
The plan to hear the side of the con-
, stitutionalists, especially the grant
ling of an audience to Colonel Eudardo
| Hay was arrived at only when Senator
I. Bacon had asked the presidents ad-
: vice. The president and Secretary
Bryan in an early morning conference
. formally approved the plan which is
3 to be outlined probably late today.
t They also discussed the status of
! Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson who
r was even then In an outer room at
d the executive offices. The outcome
of this latter part Of the conference
) was to be indicated by the secretary
: of state later. The ambassador did
). not see the president but had an ap-
!. .Ipointment with Bryan. 1t was ex-
: pected that a formal announcement
: OF the acceptance of the ambassadors
:, resignation would be made IL not to-
> day then In the near euture.
