Special Cable to The Tribune


MEXICO CITY, Aug. 19.-Rumors are
in circulation here that Iglcsias Calder
on, representative of Mexico in Wash
ington, is to be recalled to make per-
sonal report to provisional President
de la Huerta, and that he will not re-
turn to Washington. It is considered,
both in Mexican and foreign circles,
that Calderon has failed in his mission
to the United States, not because of
the terms of recognition reported here,
but because he has failed to obtain any
official indication of intentions or ac-
ticn from the White House.
Nothing of great import is expected
in possible report by Calderon, en-
cept his personal Impressions of public
opinion in the United States, since it is
understood that his conferences at the
State Department have not yet passed
the stage OF interchange of expressions
Of good will
Manuel Perez Romero, Minister TO
japan under Carronzn and recently ap-
pointed Minister to Belgium, is men
toned as a possible successor to Cal
deron in Washington.
The question Of the recognition Of
the dc la Huerta government by the
United States was most prominent
among all subjects Of general discus
sion here to-day. Many minor officials
and members of Congress were COM
menting freely in an antagonistic vein.
ana some of the morning newspaners
Gqdltorally criticized the American
President.
Fear Mexican Reaction
Foreign observers here are apprehen-
sive lest reports from WASHINGTON
true or untrue, are likely to result in
sharp reaction from the friendly at
titude Of Mexico toward the United
states which has existed since the fall
OF Carranza There is special danger
OF this since the enemies of Provisional
President de la Huerta do not fail to
grasp the possibilities of the situation
ana are likely to make the most of it
between now and the presidential in
auguratlon of General Oregon. This
IS considered regrettable since inter
national trade is constantly increasing
as mutua! confidence grows Ameri-
cans, particularly, feel that this is the
pest tllhe TO establish their connections
mere before European producers are
aple to enter into strong competition
Exports from Mexico to the ITn;ted
states are increasing and several new
mes OF business have been opened up.

shipment of which, forty three tons
reached the United States last week.
Hidalgo Has Not Heard of Terms
Doctor Cuthberto Hidalgo. actinc
