That Mr.. Wilson Use Own
Initiative as to Pershing.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4-lnterest IN
the Mexican situation remained ceh-
tered tonight on what action by Pres
ident Wilson might follow his APPROX
a. OF the recommendation Of the
American members that conferences
Of the Mexican-American Joint Com
mission be brought to an end.
DR.. J. r. Mott. one or the Amerl-
can commissioners, carried 10 the Mex
icanN members in New York today a
formal reply to tho last communici-
ton from General Carranza in which
he again had refused 10 ratify the pro-
tocol providing for. the withdrawal or
American troops from Mexico. II LUIS

There has been no announcement
OF the Presidents decision as TO the
American commissioners suggestion
that he act on his own initiative IN the
matter of withdrawing the troops. ana
that Diplomatic channels be provided
for dealing with questions at issue De-
tween the two governments: II ap-
pears certain, however, that Henry T.
Fletcher will be sent TO his post IN
Mexico as ambassador.
Haste Is Opposed
Some administration officials op-
nose haste in ordering Pershlng.s men
out of Mexico on the ground that II
might give CarranZa the impression
that il was because Of his inslstance.
when in reality the chief motive would
be 10 release National Guards on lhe
border and take the regulars out or a
poor strategic position:
Secretary Baker conferred with the
President late today and later an
nounced that there was no change III
the situation.
Mr., Fletcher was without orders to-
night to proceed TO Mexico but IL was
believed that his dispatch would not
long be delayed. 1t was explained ny
administration officials that the actlon
of the delegates to the Mexican con-
stitutional Congress now in session
