UESTIONMARES PRESIDENT GRIN ~ Wilson Asked to Comment on Mexican Election. BALLOTING MEANS LITTLE Constitutionalist Representatives at Washington Declare Sunday's Af- fair at the Polls Does Not Affect the General Situation in That Country. Washington, July 7.—When Presi- dent Wilson was asked to comment on Sunday’s election in Mexico he laughed and said: “I hardly think any comment from me is necessary.” ‘When asked if he knew anything of General Huerta's plans for leaving Mexico he smiled again and said: “I am afraid I am not in his confi- dence.” The president refused to discuss mediation. . Jose Vasconcelos of the Constitu- tionalist junta here has left for Sal- tillo tc report to General Carranza on mediation, the attitude of the United States and plans for the resumption of business in Northern Mexico. Rafuel Zubaran said no final answer had come from his chief relative to participation in the proposed confer- ence over peace plans with the Huer- ta delegates. The opinion in Consti- tutionalist circles prevalent here is that no answer will come until the conference at Torreon between adher- ents of Villa and Carranza is con- cluded. As to the election, in which General Huerta appears to have been re-elect- ed, Constitutionalist leaders would not comment further than to say that it made no difference in the ger uation. They intimated, however, that Huerta might still be planning to appoint a secretary of foreign affairs to succeed him and then retire.
