 Events of the day, the President in- dicated, such as 8 final acceptance from Huerta, might alter his plans and he added that even the course Of action by the navy was dependent up- on cirCumStances from hour to hour. When the President was asked in die rect question if the purpose of his ac- uon was to secure the elimination of Huerta he replied that the Tampico incident did not involve that question.

 The President revealed that foreign diplomats at Mexico City had been using their good ofiices with Huerta in an effort to induce him to accede but that no Pepresentations had been made to this government in any way by other nations.
