DIPLOMATIC CONFERENCES ARE HELD
LATIN AMERICAN EUROPEAN REPRESENTATIVES, AT WASH PROBABLE INTENTION OF THIS MEXICO.

Washington, Nov, 10.-Develop- ment of the Mexican situation here today tended to emphasize a purpose on the part of the Washington gov ernment to refuse to recognize any of the acts of the new Mexican con gross and brought to light the fact that serious consideration was being given by President Wilson to the question of permitting expectations of arms to all factions in the south ern republic.
 Secretary Bryan had long confer ence with Senor Algara, charge d'af. faires of the Mexican embassy, dur ing which it is understood he said the United States considered the election of congressmen equally as invalid as the voting for president and vice president.
 The secretary summoned the min. isters from five Central American countries and outlined to them in gen eral what had been done by the Unit ed States in it's diplomatic parleys with the Huerta government. Laser he announced that he also had been in communication with the diplomatic representative of the European ma. tions and had informed them in gen eral terms of the steps taken by the United States thus far.
 It was reported that some of these diplomats transmitted long dispatches to their home governments today de scribing the situation as approaching closer to complete break in rela- tions between the United States and Mexico thtn at any time since the Mexican problem became trouble some.
 The state department made public Huertas statement to the diplomatic corps in Mexico City at midnight last Saturday the burden of which was that the presidential election would be declared null and void, but that the newly elected members of con gress soon would be installed; that the national legislature would soon resume the legislative powers which General Huerta had seen fit to as- sume during the interim between the arrest of the deputies for sedition and the induction of the new members of congress.
 In view of the fact that the note recited in detail iiuef-ta's defense of his assumption of legislative author ity and his arrest of the deputies and gave also his program for the future 1t was taken by many diplomats aa an obvious reply to the American sug- gestion that he eliminate himself The Mexican embassy here, which received copy of the note, declared in an official statment that 'it may be assumed that the dispatches ce ceived represent the attitude of Presi dent Huerta and indicate the naturt of his reply to the inquiry of the gov eanment of the United States re garding his purposes in view of tn. recent presidential elections" White House officials called atten tion to what seemed to tham an n consistency in the Huerta note where in it assumed as valid the election o lcongressmen but declared null ana void the voting for president and yic' president who were chosen stmul taneously with the congressman. The purpose of the United State neither to recognize Huerta's right tC
