 INTERVENTION
Fall Resolution Held Up after President Expresses Doubt
 as to It's Wisdom.
RESPONSIBILITY ON
 WILSON SAYS LODGE
Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee Will Not Be Asked to Act On Fall Resolution Until
 Wilson Gives Word.

Washington, Dec. 8.-The reso lution asking President Wilson t. break off diplomatic relation with the Carranza government i was abandoned today by repub lican leaders in the senate afte i the president had informed Sena tor Fall of New Mexico, it's au thor, that he would "be gravel. concerned to see any such resolu ton pass the congress"
 In announcing, after confer ence with Senator Fall and Bran dcgee of Connecticut, that tht foreign relations committee would take no action on the resolution Senator Lodge said:
 l "We wanted to help, but now the entire Mexican situation goes to the president. The responsi bility is on his shoulders. Let ii rest there."
 Passage of the resolution, the president wrote Senator Fall would "constitute reversal o1 our constitutional practice, whicf might lead to very grave confus- ion in regard to the guidance of our foreign. affairs"
 Declaring that the initiative in directing relations with foreign governments was assigned by the constitution ''to the executive and to the executive only" MT. Will son said he was confident that the "only safe course" was to adhere to the prescribed method of the constitution.
 "We might go very far afie'd If we departed from it," he said.
 Senator Fall, in a statement tc- n;Ght, Icok issue with the prcsi- Gent that the senate could rot ad- vise on r1aticrs affecting relations with foreig ign governments until requested to do so by the rres: dent, and said there were rrecc- dents ln support him. He also said he wcE'd acan request the con- mittce to postpone action on his resolution Cor upon any phase Of rhe Mexican matter" until the president had tim5 to give the sub jeat his consideration.
 Before the president dispatched his letter, the senate foreign rela- tions committee held an hours ses- si ,n for discussion of the Maxltar situation, including the Carranza oil ,iecrees, which have been the subject of diplomatic corresrcn- derce between the United States and Mexico. but at the sugges 'icn of Senator Fall, action on his resc- lution was deferred until the pres ident had expressed his views
 To Answer Note.
 Senator Fall tonight made pub lie the memorandum which he sent the president, dealing with the re- suits of the investigation of the senate committee, of which the New Mexico senator is chairman. Part of this information was giv- en MT. Wilson last Friday by Sen ator Fall, when he and Senator Hitchcock, democrat, Nebraska, called at the white house to dis cuss the Fall resolution.
 MT. Wilson's statement in his letter, that what the New Mexico senator had told him of the inves- tigation, "prepared" him to find in the memorandum matter of "the greatest importance" was in- terpreted by some senators as meaning that the president had not yet had time to study MT. Falls report.
 Senators noted also that the presidents letter gave no indica- tion as to whether change of the administrations attitude toward Mexico was under consideration.
 During the day, the state de. partment was advised by the American embassy at Mexico City that Carranza's reply to the Am erican note renewing the request for the release of Consular Agent Jenkins was to be handed to the American charge today. The re- ply had not been received at the state department tonight.
 Meantime, the investigation in- to the liberation of Jenkins on bail last week was continuing.
 Officials read without comment, a statement given out by J. Salter Hansen at Mexico City that he had acted on his own initiative and responsibility in furnishing 1000 pesos bail for Jenkins release.
 Senator Fall announced today that his committee would con tinue it's investigation of the Mexican situation. He expects to leave for the border before the New Year to pursue the inquiry there.
 Declaring it was Surprising that at this time it should be stat ed that the suggestion of the sen ate that such recognition should pc withdrawn (as proposed in his resolution), should constitute a
