Recognition of Mexico,
Aim of Creei's Trip
Returning to U. s., After Con
ference With Huerta, to Urge
Immediate Action

WASHINGTON, Oct. 49, - George
Creel, former chairman Of the Commit
tee on Public Information, is return
ing to Washington from Mexico City
to work for the immediate recognition
of the present government Of Mexico
according to advces from the Mexican
capital to-day, quoting an interview
with Creel, published in Ell Heraldo
the official government organ.
Creei had a conference of six hours
with Provisional President de la Huerta
Immediately on his arrival in Mexico
City, in company with Roberto V. Pes
guerra, financial agent of the Mexican
government in New York. Crecl and
Pesqueira left this morning for the
United States, and Creel was quoted as
saying that on his arrival in Washing
ton he would see President Wilson.
In the course of the statement as
published in Ell Heraldo Creei attacked
the State Department for interference
in the controversy between the OF!
companies and Mexico. He declared
the controversy was one strictly be-
tween the companies and the Mexican
government, with which the United
States government should not have
concerned itself. At the State De-
partment to- day, when the Creel state
ment was made known, it was said
that unless the department had inter
fered the Allies would have been un-
able to obtain the oil necessary in the
conduct of the war.
Creel obtained passport from the
State Department the first of this
month. and at the department it was
said at the time that in making appli-
cation for the passport he had given as
the reasons for his trip to Mexico "busi-
ness and pleasure" Just before his
departure he saw President Wilson, but
it was denied that he was going to Mex
leo on any official mission.
Friends here of Mr.. Creel said that
he had gone to Mexico to obtain ma
terial for series of articles which he

ing the first two days of the confer

Threatened With Disorder
During the speeches Of Dittmann and
Stocker the conference frequently
threatened to end in disorder. The
gray head of George Lebedour always
was q storm center to the radicals.
Twice he invaded the Left Wing and
threatened its leader, Adolf Hoffman,.
Members of the left continually were
held down by their leader, and the
uproar generally proceeded from the
galleries end the conservatives.
2inovieh's residence is unknown, ex-
cept to the Communists, who have re
fused to disclose it.
AT the conclusion of the Russians
address the radicals of the, party and
the audience in the packed galleries
stood with barred heads singing "Thc
Interpationale," while the Conserva-
tives walked slowly out OF the hall
a great ovation was accorded Elmo
cietf, with many "hochs" and cries of
Long live the Internationale! and the
waving of hats.

whether the Independents will adhere

pabe military disobedience, Premier
Witos asserted. The Premier said he
approved the proposal that self-dc-
termination be granted to the tempo
rary government at Wilma.
General Zellgouski has sent the old
Lithuanian government at Kovno an
ultimatum demanding that all the
Lithuanian troops be withdrawn twen-
tv kilometers to the west of the Wilma
Grodno railway. The utimatum con-
tanned twenty-four-hour time limit.
Meanwhile General Zellgouski's troops
are taking positions in various parts
of the newly claimed territory.
The establishment of the provisional
government of Central Lithuania, tho
name adopted by the new regime at
Wilma, is absorbing virtually all atten-
tion of the various Polish government
officials and has replaced the Riga
peace negotiations as the leading fea-
ture Of the newspapers.
The occupancy of wilma also has
particularly the British and French.
They have been in constant communi-
cation with their governments with ref
erence to the questions arising from
the attempt to create new state, with
Wilma as its center.
British and French Discuss Wilma.
Both the British and French minis
tries called on General Pilsudski and
discussed at length the subject of
Wilma. General Pilsudski afterward
conferred with Premier Witos, Prince
Sapeha, the Foreign Minister, and
others.
1t is reported some of the members
of the League Of Nations commission
of control who have been at Suwalki
have gone to Wilma to confer with Cen
cral Zellgousk, and the members of the
temporary commission of the new
state.
Several of the leagues representa-
tives, having remained on the Polish
side of the line, already have discussed
the problem with representative of
the Polish Foreign Office, who left
Tuesday for Suwalki.
