WILSON PINS HOPES
0? MEDIATION PLAN
Convinced That Some Way Can
Be Found to Clear Up the
Mexican Situation.
HAS CONGRESS BEHIND HIM
Many Legislators Fear Factions
in Mexico Won't Accept
Mediation, but All Will
Support President.

IVsshlngtan, July 24.?The President
in.i!?' i? ? _**?'? to sev. ml friem.s to-day
fomt ? - great hope in bis some?
?a hat Indefinito plans for mediation in
Mexico, and that he believes that out of
- of the good offices ?of the United
gutes will ' institutional election,
b> lb? resulta of which all factions In
>1. M?" w 111 ch* -r fully abide.
Beyond his conviction that some prac
t ble plan of mediation can be worked
out, ? t has reaehf'l no definite
a, not even regarding the BUgges
t ? that the privilege now a? corded the
Huerta faction of importing without
hindrance munitions of war be curtailed
It is the expectatkm of the Preatdent
that when be is able to take tip th.- situ
stien with Ambaaaadoi Wilson---probably
r.\t Monday, although ?possibly Sunday?
it will be possll Ie to work out th.- details
of the contemplated s* heme of mediation,
but for the pnsent his Ideas on Ihe sub?
J- : are pur. ly nebulous Some of his
advisers st the Capitol, however, believe
that the first step should consist of send?
ing a commission to Mexico to Investigate
the situation and to consult with both the
Huer I sod to the

The Secretary of blata w-iii be back to*

?Pr?sident to-day that his ship would not,

Arms Not Prohibited.
It is definitely Stated on the highest
authority that President Wilson has not ?
decided to prohibit the importation of |
arms and munitions of war by th?- Muerta !
rnmenl ?Tram ths United States. This
Blatter, like others, has m.-rcly received '
.onslderatlon. ?having been Informally die* 1
| by th. President with Senator
Bacon, chairman of the Senat? Commltt-e
on Foreign Relations, and others.
als of t!:> - Bt familiar with
situation view With alarm the
publication of certain sensational stories
A feu days ago a report went out that
'.ministration was ronfldent that th*
Huerta government would fall within a
fortnight or so. Teeter la) s story was
sent out that President Wilson had de?
cided t" put ii Stop to the exportation of
-kan arms to the Huerta government,
naturally Indicate to th
Huerta continu?*! that the a.?ministra?
tion here has come out In active 0| |
This is consiilered unfortunate
snd as likely to ?rente an unfavorable
iltuation In the City of Mexico.
rig the Senators who have ?not been
tak.n Into the confidence of the Presid.it
or his advisers there to be MOM
doubt as to the success of the proposa 1
Of M.dlatlon Efforts of ihe Demo?
cratic leaders s? em to hav.? g-m?- no fur?
ther than to sound legislators <?n the gen?
eral idea of pacific mediation. On this
there is little difference of opinion. It is
. .-?era! desire of ?ra tic-ally all Sen?
ators to solve the Mexican problem i ? *
If It ran be done, but It is not ob
bow this can be accomplished,
The suggestion was mad.- to-day that
the President would take stops to ascer?
tain whether or not the heads of the
Huerta government and the Constitution?
alist faction would look with favor UO
the proposa', of the United States to e.\
terd Its friendly offices, possibly througn
diplomatic or consular representatives I
la Mexico, cr by sending a Special
agent or commission Informally to con?
fer with the Mexican leaders. No attempt
t? work out the diplomatic details of vhi_
undertaking will be made until the Presi?
dent has conferred with Ambassador W'l
_?__
Look for Objections.
Mary Senators expressed the conviction
that the plan would go no further; that
both Huerta and Carranza would frown
upon any Interference by the United
?lates which might deprive them rf ad?
vantages they now enjoy. It is argued
by Democratic members of tbe Foreign
Retall?os ?'ommittee, however, that Die |
rejection by either of an agreement to !
accept mediation would place him at a
disadvantage and that if the offer of the j
tea were rejected it would have
Justified Itself if more stringent in.as?
ures became nal SBBUlJ.
*f the plan does not meet with the ex
I>ect?.d ? bat?eles It is sugge_te?l that the
?President may appoint a rn?-dlator, pos

their dlfjertrices and holding a general
