THE BEMIDJ VOLUME 11. NUMBER 145 WILSON AGAIN WARNS HUERTA President Says Would “View With Displeasure” Harm To Deputies —No Change in Attitude FAIR ELECTION IMPOSSIBLE No Constitutional Election Under Existing Circumstances Says Senator Bacon Wasghington, Oct. 14.—After a con ference between Secretary Bryan and President Wilson it was announced at the White House that telegrams had been dispatched to both John Lind at Vera Cruz and Charge O’Shaughnes- 8y at Mexico City to make representa: tions to the Huerta government that the United States would look with displeasure upon any injury to the Mexican deputies now under arrest. It has been left entirely to Mr. Lind’s discretion whether he should return to Mexico City to impress those views on the Mexican authort ties, but Charge O’Shaughnessy has been directed to address himself to the minister of foreign relations and make it plain that the United States attaches “the gravest importance” to arrest of deputies and is keenly inter- ested in what will be their fate. President Wilson told callers that with the present state of affairs he did not see how a constitutional elec- tion could be held in Mexico. No Settlement in Sight. The government :here - practically has abandoned all hope of seeing an election or treating any mrther with Huerta as an individual. There Is a disposition in administra- tion circles to await the course of events with the hope that the factiona! lines so tightly will be drawn as to bring about a national adjustment without outside interference. “My opinion is that there can be no constitutional election in Mexico un- der existing circumstances,” said Sen- ator Bacon, chairman of the foreign relations committee, after a confer- ence with President Wilson at the White House - - The senator said he had not dis- cussed that phase with the president but that It was obvious“that with the arrest of the deputies and the disso- lution of congress no one would dare to take issue with Huerta and- that there could be no free expression of the will of the peonle.
