MEXICAN CRISIS MERELY DELAYED

General Feeling Exists That Split With U. S. is Near at HandDevelopments Awaited. 1 Both in Mexico City and throughout the United States does the opinion quite generally prevail that the time is coming when the United States can not longer put up with the conditions 1n Mexieo. The Wilson administration has proceeded slowly, too slowly to give protection to American 'interests in Mexico, but with the belief that these interests had better sjnffer than to start a war than may mean the loss of many lives and the cause of vast expense, but Huerta, the dictator, shows unmistakable evidence of trying to dominate the election set for the 26th of this month and the United States will doubtless ignore the election and again refuse recognition to Mexico and it is quite sure that some of the foreign countries that unwisely recognized the Huerta regime will withhold reeog--nition of the new head ofr the government on the grounds tha£ the elections are unfairly dominated by Huerta. Developments are being awaited but the patience of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan are being sorely tried. Secretary Bryan left Washington for Waterloo, lowa, Wednesday night, saying before his departure that he did not expect the United States to take any further steps for a few days at least. Many dispatches from Mexican cities indicate that a clash is expected at any time and shows greater unrest than has existed for many months.
