LOOKS
 FOR EARLY CRISIS

WASHINGTON, Oct Washing ton has interpreted ominOusly the re- fusal of President Wilson to discuss any phase of the Mexican situation with newspaper correspondents. The conclusion has been reached that crisis is approaching.
 In administration circles it is admit ted that it is not the currency problem alone which has made it avisable that Congressmen should stay in Washing ton
 Great Britain's failure to repudiate the action of her ambassador who pre- sented his credentials to Gen. Huerta immediately after the latter proclaim ed himself as dictator of the country has caused the government to feel that it can no longer depend upon re- ceiving any help from England in set ting the problem which the Mexican situation presents. but that it must be worked out by the American govern ment
 Whatever may happen. this is cer- tain. the administration will under no circumstance take a backward step. It will be satisfied with nothing short of constitutional government for Mexico-a government chosen by and representative of the Mexican people. It can be said with certainty that no other kind will be recognized.
