to return from Mexico City to Sonora
and allow financial and other tnterna-

was even rumored that Senior de la
Huerta might proceed to Genoa to act
as the unofficial observer Of the Mexi-

ference. Not much cIedence was
placed in this rumor, however.
Diplomats Are Silent.
Following the recognition furry Of
several days ago. the newspapers have
become more calm in their assertions
that recognition by the United States
was imminent. The foreign office has
carefully refrained from all comment
on the international situation, and the
American charge d'affaires, Mr.. Sum-
merlin, is maintaining his usual si-
lence. 1t is known. however, that
Mr. Summerlin for the past few days
has not been actively engaged on
recognition matters. as press dis
patches have indicated. and that. al
though he has visited Secretary of
Foreign Affairs Pani several times. it
was with the purpose of discussing
routine matters.
Inquiry at the American embassy
did not result in confirmation of the
reports that instructions relative to
recognition Of Mexico by the United
States had been received by Mr.. Sum-
merlin.

HUERTA FIGURES IN RIDDLE
Question Asked as to Whether He
Will Seek Recognition.

By the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY. March IA riddle
propounded in the local newspapers
which as yet has called forth no en-
tightening answer, either official or
otherwise, is whether Adolfo de la
Huerta. secretary of the treasury. is
going to the United States. and. il he
is, whether he will treat solely with
financial matters or will be empow-
cred to act for the Obregon govern
ment in matters connected with rec
ognition of Mexico by the United
States.
May Confer With ObresOn.
Senor de la Huerta at present is in
the state of Sonora. where he is at
tempting to arrange gubernatoriat
affairs, but contradictory newspaper
reports are being printed as to the
secretary's plans when these affairs
are concluded. 1t is said in some quar-
ters that Senior de la Huerta will re-
turn to Mexico City for a conference
with President Obregon. and that aft
erward he will proceed Immediately
to New York, there to meet American
financiers.
In these same quarters 1t is asserted
that Senor de la Huerta will be given

PRESIDENT POINTS !
TO HITCH IN MEXICO
Says Only Present Obstacle
Is One Of Proceedings to
Restore Relations.
Rv tho A.aoc,.tsd p,..,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 24.-The only
hitch in reviving friendly relations
between the United States and Mexico
is one of proceedings. declared Presi-
dent Harding in a letter to John Bar
rett. former director general of the
Fan-American Union, made public by
Mr.. Barrett with permission of the
White House.
The Presidents letter, dated March
II. was in reply to one addressed him
by Mr.. Barrett in which the latter
laid before Mr.. Harding a summary
Of answers received from 141 repre-
republics to the question, asked Of
zoo. as to what they believed the
United States might do on it's own
Initiative to promote pan-American
friendship.
Composite suRsestion.
Mr. Barrett advised the President
that. among other things, the follow
Ing recommendation, stated in COM
posite summarized terms. had been
made by the Latin Americans:
EARLY recognition Of Mexico by the
United States on a basis consistent
with the natural and unexaggerated
dignity. sovereignty and rights of
both nations, with concessions, If
necessary. on the part of both, in
spfred by that same spirit of con-
ciliation and cooperation which char,
acterized the URited States and other
governments at the recent arms con-
ference"
MIR. Hnrding's Reply.
In his reply. Mr.. Harding said:
"Mr. Christian has handed to me
your letter of March 20, and I am
frank to say that have read it with
very great interest. I am not at all
surprised at the expression of senti-
ment in the Latin American republics
which your letter conveys. AS
matter Of fact we feel that way here
in the capital of our own republic.
There is really no difference Of opinion
as to what is necessary to restore
former friendly relations between our
own republic and that of Mexico. The
only hitch anywhere is one OF pro-
ceedipgs. Undoubtedly both coun-
tries are of the same mind. excepting
that we cannot arrive at a program
which cures the whole situation in
one complete program which is to be
executed at one time"
