Senator Stone said:

within few days to be able TO get into

room of Senator Stone during the last
forty eight hours. All of them have

that the Senate has its hands tied.
This undoubtedly would be true. II Il
was not for the fact that tho pressure
by Great Britain Is being 30 seriously
considered.
Senator'S havo argued that since
Great Britain has recognized Huerta
and the United States has not. It would
be possible for the English to create
an embarrassing condition which the
state Department cannot meet.
Want Views of Administrations.
1t WAS made clear that the resolu-
ton. recognizing Villa "a n belligerent

until the administration had signified
Its Willingness to such step. Fur
thermore. II was made clear to-day
that the Senator's are prepared to In
sist that the administration consider
this step II further opportunities from
Great Britain are received
An interesting sidelight on tho recog-
milton OF Villa was brought out by the
statement Of Chairman Stone that tho
Foreign Rotations Committee members
were willing to consider ''unU1icially"
any Constitutionalist statements which
might be submitted relating to the
Benton killing.
we cannot nj thiS tlme, said Sena-
TOT stone. Consider tho statements of
any OF the Constltutionalists as argu-
ments from recognized government.
But that does not prevent the presenta-
ton to the Senators, individually, of
any arguments which the Constitution
aiists might see ii to present"
Gould those arguments DO turned
over by one Senator TO anothcr?" sena-
tor Stone was asked.
Undoubtedly" he replied. that Is
what would he done"
This statement indicates that the
United States Senate might be able to
furnish tho state Department with
some data outside OF that which tho
department. will receive from it's own
consuls.
Senator Shively. it is said. will hold
conference with President Wilson on
the Mexican situation at tho earlles,
possible hour. He will then indicate
the intentions OF the administration to
