Perfectly Able to Deal
With Any Question

Says Senator Fall, a
Critic.
Cracks Jokes With Sen

Papers, Hears Views
on Mexico; Message
Coming.

Washington, Dec. 5-Iwo senators,
delegated by the foreign relations com
mittee to confer with President Wilson
on the Mexican crisis and report
whether, in their opinion, the president
by reason of his illness, was unable to
exercise his functions, left the White
House after conference of three
quarters of an hour with him, today.
agreeing that he was in touch with
recent developments and was mentally
keen enough to form judgments on the
questions confronting the nation.
In the first of the conference. while
Senator Fall, republican, New Mexico.
was outlining the evidence on which he
is urging break of diplomatic relations,
the president and his callers were in
formed that William o. Jenkins, the
American consular agent at Publa,
Mexico. jailed there. had been released.
The advices left some doubt as to the
circum instances, but the development was
accepted generally as relieving some
what relations between the two govern
ments.
Merely Weak and Nervous.
The discussion with the president
produced no definite conclusion asi t.
Mexican relations, but it is regarded
everywhere as bearing on a subject Of
endless speculation in congressional
circles-the extent TO which the long
illness of the chief executive has
rendered him physically incapable of the
duties of presidency.
Propped up in bed, the president talk
ed of many features of the Mexican
tange. With right hand and arm free
above the bed cover. the senator's said
he shook hands with them and took up
and read papers which were on the table
beside him. He was described as weak
and nervous, but it was said he tested
about exaggerated reports Of his illness
and promised within q few days to give
congress his advice on what it should
do about Mexico.
Too Critical for Haste, His View.
He appeared to be a sick man. said
Senator Fall, but mentally alert and
perfectly able to cope with any question
with which he might have to deal
The other delegate of the committee.

said the president seemed greatly
improved since he saw him two weeks
ago.
My opinion is that he has been n
very sick man. but is improving said
Senator Hitchcock. ''He has a pretty
good idea Of the Mexican situation and,
although he did not give a final decision
on the subject. he indicated that too
many serious considerations were in
yolved 70 warrant any hasty action"
Jenkins News Breaks In.
When the callers arrived at the White
House. they were met by DIR. Grayson
and Mrs. Wilson, who conducted them
to the sick room. Mrs. Wilson remain
ed in the room throughout the con-
ference.
Announcement of Jenkins release, it
was said by those present, gave the con-
ference its only dramatic turn. The news
was telephoned to the White House after
