Ji.ifiMM I - THE AMJ3AiMDOjR,S SIDE ( WmSE His Attitude on the Mexican Situation Favored by the Senate President and Secretary Still Determined Against Huerta OUS PLANS SUGGESTED Uncle Sam's Representative From Mexico Holds That Intervention is Undesirable Reviews History of Revolution. Washington, July 30. Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson's conference to day with members of the Senate com mittee on Foreign Relations resulted in stronger support for his plan to rec ognize the Huerta government in Mex ico, than he has received at any time since reaching Washington. After three hours' questioning of the ambassador, many members, of the Senate committee tonight express ed the opinion that serious considera tion should be given to his recommen dations of a guarded and restricted recognition of Huerta, designed to bolster up the present government un til elections can be held October 2lth. The determination of the govern ment's main, policy does "not reat with the Senate, however, and there was nothing in the situation tonight to in dicate that President - Wilson or Sec retary Bryan had wavered in their de termination not "to recognize the Huer ta government at present - V The matter, presented to the Sen ate committee by the . ambassador al ready had been laid before the Presi dent and Secretary of State and-their attitude agajnst recognition had" been based upon; information- from other confidential sources, mWJAt&P&Ml?

As a result, of the generally favorable impression cre ated, and the close scrutiny and ten tative approval, given his report by many members Of the committee,' it is believed the , administration will be urged to furnish the Senate commit tee at once with its private informa tion gathered by William Bayard Hale, Reginald Del Valle and by Con sular agents at various points. . The PolhU of Variance- Two principal points of difference have been developed -between Ambas sador Wilson ana the administration. These relate to the present control of Huena over Mexican affairs and .to conditions that would result from the downfall of the Huerta government. Ambassador Wilson told the Sen ate committee that the Huerta gov ernment dominated affairs throughout the Republic, and had driven the con stitutionalists out of many of their strongholds, including the States, pf Coahuila and Nuevo Leon. President Wilson, it is understood, has information which he and Secre tary Bryan consider thoroughly relia ble, which shows the constitutional ist strength to be greatly in excess, of the estimates of Ambassador Wilson, and indicates that the Huerta govern ment dominates the situation only, in a small part of the Republic The Need of Recognition. The need for Immediate recognition of the Huerta government, as laid he tore the committee by the ambassa dor, was based on the belief that Pres ident Huerta cannot long retain con trol of governmental machinery un der present conditions. It Is claimed the government each month is run ning behind financially and that American recognition is necessary to enable Huerta to obtain credit for im mediate governmental necessities. . fcnould the Huerta government fall, in the opinion of Ambassador Wilson, conditions in the Republic will be ,;0rse than at present and American 'nes and property will be in greatest Ganger. The fact that many members t the Senate committee took the Settle View at thn lnon .f tnAav'a -""yieuce proDabjy will result in president Wilson's submitting to the senate the information in his posses sion, upon which he bases the belief inat recognition of Huerta is not ne lifa 10 the Protection of American me and property.
