Helms Visit TO Hungary
Given Political Aspect
Budapest Statement Confirms
View That Bavaria Seeks
Alliance Against Reds
By William c. Dreher
Special cable to The Tribune

BERLIN, Nov. 25.-Much interest has
been awakened in Berlin political cir
cles by the visit of DR. Helm, the
Rayarian Catholic leader, to Budapest.
AS Helm is a leader in the movement
TO maintain the so-called home guards
of Bavaria against the Entente s de
mand for their disbandment, and as
various efforts already have been made
TO extend the Orgesch organization into
Austria, it was at once surmised here
that Helms Hungarian mission was
connected with such plan.
This suspicion is apparently justified
by an interview by a Budapest corre-
spondent with Rudnek, the Hungarian
Minister of Commerce, with whom Helm
negotiated. Rudinck said Helms mis-
sion WAS both economic and political.
AS an organizer of the Green Inter
rationale, Helm is the leader of the
movement to create uniform front
Of International peasantry against the
Rudinck. Helm wanted to learn how
far we had organized in Hungary and he
made a report regarding our progress
to the international organization.
Rudinek asserted further that France
was trying to exclude Germany from
participating in the formation of the
Green lnternationale. However, he
d. the Nungarians were siding with
Germany because France was still
wtehoat an organization Of pcasantry
whereas Gcrmany's agricultural popu-
alton was a well-tricd fighting organi-
zation.
Rudinek declared that the Green In
tcrnationale was unthinkable without
German participation, or even without
Germany as the leader. Nor could any
fight against Belshevism be conducted
successfully without German co0pera-
tion, lo said

Much Depends on the Attend

Snecinl cable to The Tribune

Copyright, 1890 New York Tribune Inc.
MEXICO CITY, Nov. Diplomatic
circles in Mexico City are greatly trou-
bled over the probable attitude Of the
United States toward the Obregon in
auguration. much depending on wheth-
er the State Department instructs
Charge d'Afaires Summerlin to attend
the function or absent himself. The
situation is much aggravated by the
presence of large number of public
officials from several southwestern
states, to whom many attentions will
be paid.
While the presence of these does not
constitute q de facto recognition OF the
Obregon regime, diplomats are inclined
to interpret their presence here as be
ing with the tacit consent of the State
Department, since otherwise passports
would have been withheld and an init
nation to them that their presence
would be source of embarrassme to
the United States would have resulted
in their remaining away.
Summerin has received no instruc-
tions from the State Department, thus
leaving in a quandary those diplomats
who are desirous of following the lead
Of the United States. Among those
who probably Will adopt the course of
the United States are Germany. Bel
gium, Britain and possibly Spain.
Representatives of nearly all the South
American republics are attending, sew
eral being invested with additional
diplomatic rank for the OCCASION
Mexican officials are looking forward
with great interest for a definition of
the United States attitude, and while
recognizing that recent utterances of
R. V. Pesquoira, confidential repre-
sentative at Washington, regarding the
United States are likely to hamper the
untanging Of relations they are hoping
that Washington viii dif'ercntate be-
tween the Huerta and Obregon regimes
and will extend recognition.
Political enemies of Obregon have
been carrying on an extensive cam
paign in the last week to prevent rec
ogntion. Reports that this faction is
cooperating with former Carranza Gle
ments preparatory to starting a
counter-revolution are not confirmed,
although rumors are current that the
government has discovered numerous
documents duplicating conservatives
Carran2istas and numerous army Off
GERS. The propaganda has been insidi-
Gus, endeavoNng to create the i'm
preston that Obregon is insincere and
that his recent statements Of policy
were purely for the purpose OF I'M
pressing Washington while he does not
intend to carry them out, but will
change his policy if he is recognized.
Huerta officials are active in fighting
this propaganda and have taken steps
to quietly counteract it,

Italy, and was received at the station
by the officials of the department, rep
resentatives of the Mayor and city

deeply moved by the warmth of his

too severe toward g nation which two

This was all the former Premier
would say with regard to the situation
in Greece.
"Dont ask me any political ques-
tions, so as not to embarrass me- he
said. GAS soon as | am free to speak

From The Tribure'5 Washington BureuN
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Roberto ".
Pesqucira. confidential agent of the
Mexican government, left Washington
to-day for Mexico City to be present
when President elect Alvaro Obregon
takes the oath of office at midnight
December l and to participate in the
inaugural ceremonies which will fol-
low.
Mr.. PesQueira takes with him the
assurance from Secretary Colby that
the question of recognition by the
United States government will be defn-
itcly settled and diplomatic relations
will be resumed between the govern
ments when the Mexican laws are
clarified in such way as to safeguard
American interests in that republic
The Mexican diplomat and the Amer
lean Secretary of State reached a com
plete understanding last Tuesday of
what this government desired of the
Mexican government, it became known
to-day. He dined that evening at the
Secretary's home. This was the first
meeting of the two officials since late
in October, when Secretary Colby made
public the Pesqucira letter urging
recognition, which was accompanied bv
effect that "a speedy and happy out
come Of the negotiations with Mexico
might be looked for.
Envoy Selected by Obregon
Also en- route to Mexico City is
| cc =
intelligence division of the War De
partment, who, at the personal request
Of President elect Obregon, has been
selected as the governments special
representative at the inaugural cere-
monies. Colonel Miller, who formerly
commanded an infantry regiment at
Camp Douglas, Ariz., is an intimate
friend Of the new Mexican President
and speaks Spanish f1uently. He &C
companied ObreGon when the latter
made a tour of this country some
years ago.
The appointment of Colonel Miller
was made ten days ago, when at the
request of the State Department he
was ordered to Washington, to confer
with military intelligence officers and
officials of the State Department on the
position he will occupy while in Mcxi-
co City. Colonel Mllers mission.
while authorized at the invitation of
General Obregon, is expected to be
Of much service to this government
because of his peculiar fitness as an
observer and to demonstrate to the
new Mexican President the friendly
esteem in which he is regarded here.
The disclosure that Mr.. PesQueira
dined at the Colby home and con-
ferred with the Secretary of State on
the subject of RESUMPTION of diplo-
matte relations with the Mexican gov
crnment, was surprise. Officials Of
the State Department have consistent
ly declared that negotiations looking
toward recognition Of Mexico had not
been resumed since the exchange Of
correspondence between Pesqueira and
Secretary Colby in October.

Pesqueira had made no new move and

America was asked to reply TO the
Councils note as soon as possible, but
If she finds it necessary to delay in

there are certain European powers
which would not be entirely displeased.
The latest reports from Turkey show
that Armenia at present is not so hard
