Washington, July Wilson, Secretary of State Bryan and Ambassador to Mexico Henry Lane Wilson conferred at the White House Monday for fifty minutes on the Mexican situation. The results of the conference are these: Henry Lane Wilson will not return to Mexico City as Ambassador from the United States.

The plan for solving the Mexican problem submitted to the President by Ambassador Wilson has not been read by the President, and will not be considered by him in determining the policy of the United States toward the Mexican Republic. Four Solutions of Problem The President has under consideration four solutions of the Mexican problem, one of which he expects to make effective. These have the general approval of Administration officials and members of Congress. They are: "To send a commission to Mexico, consult with all factions, advise them to adjust their differences and hold ment of; a certain percentage to fhfSn election, to be followed by the Treasurer of the county on the amount of taxes received by him. Under the Act of Assembly of 1834 he drawing the percentage, which in 1912 amounted to about $3,500, and also drew his $300 salary under the Act of 1845.

The Auditors, sitting in January of this year, allowed the amount returned in the repprt but the Commissioners took an! appeal on April 16, '1913. The treasurers of the county have been drawing their salaries on that basis for many years. The Acts of 1845 and 1862, relative to the fees of Treasurer, have been repealed and the salary and commission of the Treasurer will hereafter be fixed at a percentage to be authorized by the Commissioners and the Auditors under the Act of 1834. The salary, as the solicitor wished to place it, would have been $300. establishment of a stable government and the restoration of peace.

"To arrange for the mediation of all controversies, provided the consent of the various factions can be obtained, thereby insuring cessation of hostilities and the restoration of peace. "To remove the embargo on ship- merit of arms, permitting all factions to obtain them on an equal footing, with the expectation that decisive results will follow. "Intervention, but only as the last alternative, and with the belief that the occupation of Mexico must continue for a Policies Not Discussed At the conclusion of the conference the White House made it known that the President, Secretary of State and Ambassador to Mexico had discussed only the history of events in Mexico in the last two years--the revolution of Madero against Porfirio Diaz, the revolution of Orozco and Salaza against Madero, winding up with the assassination-of Madero and Suarez, and the present revolution against Huerta by the Maderists and other rebels in the northern tier of Mexican States. The President authorized the statement that there was no discussion of policies. The plan of solution presented by Ambassador Wilson was received by the President Saturday night, when the written report of the history of Mexico for the last two years, prepared by Ambassador Wilson, also was handed to him.

It provided for a recognition of Huerta and the enforcement of the neutrality laws, making it impossible for the rebels and Federal troops, but particularly the rebels, to obtain any arms and ammunition in the United States. The plan provided for the cooperation of the army and navy--the navy to blockade both coasts of Mexico and the army to guard the United States border. When Ambassador Wilson left the White House he said he had discussed with the President only facts relating to conditions in Mexico as he knew them. He said the report which he prepared for the President was discussed, and he supplemented it by additional verbal information He refused to discuss the proposal as to a policy which he had sent to the President i the Secretary of State. President Wilson has not been impressed with the report Ambassador Wilson made, and it does not correspond, except in a few instances, with the report the President has received from William Bayard JIale, the magazine writer whom the President sent to Mexico to make a special mvesti- Town Talk and Neighborhood Notes Tersely Told MANY ITEMS OF INTEREST Gleaned From Various Points Picked Up By Vigilant Reporters.
