Suspect Huerta Submission. w.
Washington, May 19.-Despite the
many unofficial reports that Huerta is
willing to resign, on certain conditions
this government has received nothing

this government, the A.-B:!C. media

II is definitely known also that the
administration believes Huerta will
not resign, at least under circum.
stances which will be accepted by the
United States. This government is
proceeding on the basis that the Uni,

on the verge Of giving active aid to. the

will be moral and diplomatic support.

This haste on the part of the United

which are now cruising on the eastern
coast.
In all likelihood II there is any delay
In the constitutionalists' program this
government will be brought face to
face with the necessity Of deciding
what It will do in the event the fed

blockade that port against the entry

The administration has this in mind

U. s. Not Told Of Huerta's Plan.
AS to the rumored resignation OF
Huerta, information was obtained from
three cabinet officers that no PROPOSE
ton originating with Huerta or in his
behalf looking to his resignation or
any terms had been received by this
government.
The officials who talked on the sub
feet said that the representatives Of
| Huerta at Niagara Falls would be re
garded henceforth as the representa-
tives Of the faction" at present head
ed by Huerta, and that after his elimi
nation they. will be recognized Off
| cially as such" 7.'
The delegates sent by Huerta are
not accredited to the United States
government They are accredited u
the mediators. For this reason. 1t has
not been necessary for the United
States government to recognize then
officially. and thus the administration
has been able to avoid the embarrass
ment OF attempting TO recognize then
without, by intimation, recognizing
Huerta.
This fits In with the full purpose o.
the presidents mediation plan. The
| administration has reason to believe
that as soon as Huerta personally 1:
