President and Secretary of State Carefully Review Information
TWO AMERICANS ABOARD
U. s. Navy Experts to be Called Upon to Help Determine Whether Ill., Armed Ship.

Washington, Jan. 5-President Wilson conferred with Secretary Lansing for an hour today over the submarine crisis. No additional facts, beyond the definite knowledge that only two Americans were aboard the liner Persia, had been received by the state department over night from either Ambassador Penfield at Vienna, Ambassador Gerard at Berlin or American consul agents along the shores of the Mediterranean. Such information as had already been re- ceived, however, was carefully re- viewed by both the president and MT. Lansing.
 Mounted Gun Issue.
 There still was every indication that no action would be taken pending the receipt of fuller advices. Whether the status of the Persia was changed from an unarmed liner to that of a vessel which might technically be classified as armed by the fact that she mounted one gun, is a point which United States navy experts will be called upon to help determine. They will be asked for advice on how the liners one gun might have been used. Meagre idespatches have failed to indicate whether the gun was mounted for defense or offense.
 Official despatches received today established that only one American is among the missing ssengers-Rob- ert N. McNeely, newly appointed American consul at Alden. Charles H. Grant, the American passenger, was rescued.
