Another version was that mutual friends arranged for Mr. Morgan to “talk things over.” The two men have been acquainted for ! some time; ) Morgan knew the president at Princeton, and the per- sonal element in the call was & large one. There was, however, an agreement that Mr. Wilson should make any an- nouncement concerning the conference. ‘He told inquirers that the talk had been a cordial one, largely reminiscent, and that Mr. Morgan expressed no opinion on whether businest was good or bad. The president added that the attitude of business men seemed to be growing in favor of the adminis- tration trust programme. ~ Whether the conference had contributed to that conviction was not disclosed. ‘White House officials declared the dent had-no thought of altering is legislative programme.

It was recalled that aside from James Speyer, the banker, the president had discussed public policies with nobody _of the financial world. Mr. Speyer came to give the president some information on Latin-American finances. Andrew Carnegie and James Hill have been received at the White House, but their visits have been purely personal and of very short duration. Mr, Morgan ran the gauntlet of a rapid fire of questions as he emerged from the White House through a small sea of correspondents. “My visit with the president was very cordial. You will have to ask him what we talked about,” was his response to all questions as he drove away. Later a persistent questioner pressed Mr. Morgan a little closer. '’ “Mr. Morgan,” said he, “has the president sent for vou and the other business men of the country, or are| the business men coming here to talk to him?"” “Don’t you think we ought to?” re- joined Mr. Morgan with a suspicion of emphasis whith might be interpreted according to the point of view of the interviewer.

Washington, July. 2—Uneasiness in official circles over disturbed condi- tions in the Tampico and Panuco oil regions, where oil operators have been slow in paying contributions to the constitutionalist cause, was consider- ably allayed today by a report from Admiral Mayo. Secretary Daniels gave out this statement based upon the report, “Advice is at hand that Admiral Mayo visited Panuco yesterday¥in com. ‘pany with the American consul, and had an interview with the military commander and a number of Ameri- the military commander for the pro- tection of foreigners. Admiral Mayo feels that his visit has had a good ef- fect anq there will be no further cause for complaint. Oil company officials have been sufficiently reassured by the presentations made to Admiral Mayo to direct the return of their employes to -the ofl flelds. The em- ploves will go back to work today.” Admiral Mayo made no mention off & réported order for the surrender by Americans in the Tampico district of all arms and ammunition to the civil authorities. .
