President Tactless and Poorly Advised, Says Huddleston, Who Sees Deliberate Affront to Mexico.
Representative Moore Be- lieves Situation Crave Thinks US. Is Drifting Into War With Sister Republic.

Washington, Jan. Il P> = The statement that President Coolidge's Nicaragua Mexican message to con- Eress was a deliberate affront to Mexico was made in the house to- day by Representative Huddleston, democrat, Alabama.
 The house committee also will take up a batch of resolutions ask ing information from the state de- partment on the Nlcaraguan-Mexi- can situation.
 Sees War Clouds
 Representative Moore, democrat, Virginia, proposed that the commit tee ask permission to sit with the senate foreign relations committee during its questioning of Secretary Kellogg tomorrow, but the sugges- tion was thrown out on a point or order. Moore said he considered the situation grave, and that joint hearings would impress the country that congress considered it grave. After losing on this proposal he Jtldue JlS IlOlIOl IOl lG hiilS Np '4'O presidents message tom orrow.

At the same time the senate foreign relations committee would be hearing Secretary Kellogg explain the diplomatic background of the |whole Nicaraguan tangle.
