NO RECOGNITION OF
CARRANzA NEAR
Bryan Denies Subject is Being
Formerly Considered.
SITUATION STILL MuDDLED
Views OF First Chief Presented Un-
officially, But Not For Expression
OF Opinion Or With Any View
Toward Recognition.

Washing ton. -Recognition of any of
the factions in Mexico during the pres
emit uncertain state of affairs is not
contemplated by the United States
government, according to expressions
by high officials.
Secretary Bryan told inquirers that
the subject Of recognition had not
reached the point Of formal considera-
ton. Persons close to the White
House said President Wilson intended
to study the question very carefully
before committing the American gov
eminent to recognition of any of
the elements in the field, and that he
did not propose to take any action
until the military situation in Mexico
clarified itself.
Published reports that a statement
to be issued by General Carranza Gov
ering his intentions and program had
been drafted ON suggestion from the
Washington administration and was
now before Secretary Bryan and
President Wilson, were met with the
explanation that what purported to be
the views of the First Chief had been
presented unof6cially to the State De-
partment, but had not been submitted
for an expression of opinion or with
any view toward recognition"
I'VE haven't been asked" said Mr..
Bryan, ito take the matter up. and
we have nothing before US that we
would regard as sufficient to raise the
subject of recognition"
Richard H. Cole, of Los Angeles,
Cal, personal friend of General Car
rama, who recently has been active
in his behalf in Washington, called on
Secretary Bryan but declined to dis
close the object of his visit It is
known, however. that he has been as
sisting the Carranza agency here In
its efforts TO pave the way for the
opening Of diplomatic relations with
the Washington government.
The principle under which the
United States government would be
guided in dealing with the subject Of
recognition have been impressed from
time to time on Generals Villa. Car
rama, Gutierrez and others who have
been at the head of important ele-
ments in the Mexican situation. Until
there is evidence of an agreement
among all the principal leaders the
general belief in Washington is that
recognition win be withheld.
