Stan Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 6.--That all
powers have been officially notified
that George Fred Williams, OF Mass
achusetts, American minister te
Greece has no right to speak for the
United States in discussing the affairs
OF Albania, was admitted by Presi-
dent Wilson today.
Although 1t Is known that Williams
has been requested to resign. the
president declined to discuss this fea-
ture OF the situation at the present
time. Later on complete statement
which will include the exact instruc-
tions sent to the Massachusetts, poll
tician, will be made public.
The president said today that while
he has no expectation that the bill de-
signed to pave the way for independ-
ence for the Philippines would be
passed at the present session. yet he
does hope that It may get through the
house. The bill provides for immed-
late autonomy In internal affairs for
the Filipinos through creation of an
island legislation. The president has
approved the bill as prepared by Rep
resentativo Jones OF Virginia, chair
man OF the committee on insular af-
fairs, but ne said today that this does
not mean that the bill will not later
be changed. So far the senate COM
mittee has not considered 1t. At
conference between the president and
Representative Jones today, the final
details Of the bill were approved. AS
completed, the bill was then officially
20. K.'d" by the president, subject
to such changes" as may later on be
suggested by the democratic majority
of the senate committee.
President Wilson said today that he
was not in any way impressed with
yesterdays election in Mexico. 1t was
in line with those that had preceded
1t, he said. which have never been
considered in any way binding by this
government. This government has
not been notified regarding it by the
Brazilian minister at Mexico City. who
is now looking after the affairs Of the
United States and no notification is ex-
pected, The president jocularly dis
missed discussion of the matter by as
surfng his callers that he was not in
General Huerta's confidence at this
time. He explained that so far as the
general Mexican situation is concern
ed he stands by his original plan and
will not discuss 1t in any way until the
work Of the mediators is completed
France has not yet made any Of
fetal protest to the United States
against espionage Of treasury depart
ment secret agents on French Jew
elers to locate American purchasers of
valuable gems and thus aid customs
authorities here in locating snug
glers. The president said today the
only knowledge he had that France is
with this plan came to him
in an unofficial manner and that
therefore he could not discuss 1t.

Ell PASO. Texas, July 6.-While re
ports from the Carranza-villa confer
ence at Torrson indicate that com
plete agreement OF the difficulties be
tween General Francisco villa and
General Venustiano Carranza Is being

day that serious complications might
result, involving the ownership of g.,
100000 pesos in Carranza currency
smuggled across the border to Juarez
Saturday by Villas agents. Should
another split result between the two
leaders, it might be more serious than
the one just being patched up.
The currency was shipped here from

charge OF Captain Santiago Winfield.

The letter said in part:
"As the acts Of Winfield and his ac-
completes and cOnfederates are Grim
fnal in their nature and are certainly
violations Of the law, I consider that
1t is your sworn duty to arrest them
Immediately. II Is hard for me to be-
lieye that General Villa or any other
honorable military commander would
sanction or acquiesce in such unlaw-
ful acts" It is learned here that
warrants have been issued at Wash

constitutionalist officers in connection
with smuggling the money.

An elaborate and satisfactory solution
Of the trouble is certain. Work of

by this spirit, because 1t Is the aim

Yesterday's Election.
MEXICO CITY. July 6.-Dictator
Huerta had the satisfaction today of
knowing he Is leading in the farcial
general elections yesterday for the
constitutional president. It will be
weeks before all returns are in but no
one feels otherwise than that Huerta
has been elected. It Is considered a
certainty that the July elections, like
those of October &c last will be held
invalid, because Of the small number
of votes and that Huerta will again be
designated by the Mexican congress
as provisional president"
The Mexican constitution provides
for an election throughout Mexico. In
as much as the federals control only q
small part of the republic the elections
are purely perfunctory and cannot be
legal. Moreover. in the sections con-
trolled by the Huertistas, only few of
the voters registered their willing
uass ct the polls according TO sd-:
x1ees heFUs vSs the Psiurfpal:
polling places In Mexico City only q
scant two score Of votes were cast.
since Huerta controls the
military and the government machin-
cry, he will get practically all the votes
everywhere in federal territory.
There were no regular tickets" in
the field, and according to returns
here ballots were cast for nearly al
dozen candidates.
Mediation Situation.
WASHINGTON, July 6.--Word that
Carranza has accepted the invitation
''unofficially" to discuss Mexico inter
nal affairs, was anMously awaited to-
day. 1.-THE understanding" between
Villa and Carranza reported to the
state department by George Carothers
was expected to be followed by
from Carranza for his
to confer with the
Huertista delegates. Minister Naon.
of the A. B. c. media
tors, said today that he would remain
in touch with the constitutionalist
junta, SO that as soon as Carranza's
permission for the conference was re-
ceived, there would be no delay in
getting the representatives of the fac

that when the conferences are held |

Miss Wehrls doesn't regard as very inn
portant the positions occupied by the

attempting to guide the destinies OF
the several sheets published in various
