Washington. - A two hours' confer ence between President Wilson, Secre tary Rryan and the senate foreign relations committee brought nbout no change in the attitude of the ndmlnls tratlon toward Mexico. The president took the senators Into his confidence far enough to outline the following: That John l.lnd, his special envoy to Mexico Cltv. does not benr any solu tion of the present situation, but goes to continue this government's effort to Induce Provisional President Huer ta to redeem his promises for frea and constitutional elections. That under no circumstances does the administration propose to racog nlie the Huertn government. That Mr. l.lnd has gone to Mexico City to he the "eyes and ears" of the Washington administration on the ground and to explain the attitude of this government when he had fully familiarized himself with the situation. That by withdrawing Ambassador Wilson and sending Mr. l.lnd. the pres ident planned to have a man on the ground who was In svmpathy with the administration here and wns In no sense a factor In the Munition In Mex ico City. The meeting wns entirely friendly The president did most of the talking and Secretary Hryan.and members of the committee added a word here and there While the president disclosed no definite plan for the pacification of Mexico, the Implication remained that on l.lnd reports would depend to K large extent the future policy of this country.
