CONDITIONS IN MEXICO

Step in Mexican Policy.

Cornish, N. H, July 27-Reports of
increasing chaotic conditions in Mex
leo were studied here today by Pres
ident Wilson and he gave earnest con-
sideration to formulating the next step

when he announced that there must
be an Improvement in affairs in the
southern republic.
It was said tonight that the pres.-
dent was not ready to make any state
ment here indicating what he plans to
do next in Mexico. He has already re-
ceived the ideas of his closest advisers
on the question
Some washington officials are
known to favor encouraging General
Villa and the other northern leaders
to select a provisional president who
can be supported by the United States;
others believe that the president
should place an embargo on the ex-
portaton of arms into Mexico and
others are advocating the extreme step
Of armed Intervention by the United
States.
One OF the reasons for his trip to
Cornish at this time was that he want
ed to study the Mexican situation
carefully. He was in communication
with Secretary Lansing today but
nothing was given out here regarding
the subject matter Of their exchange
Of views.
With the exception Of q brief auto
mobile ride this afternoon, the pres
