President Wilson is expected to make the next I move in the MexJcan situation. j Complete reports of the results of the Investigation made by Senator Fall of New Mexico and a sub-committee of the ; foreign relations committee, relative to Mexican affairs, were to be laid before the president today for his study. It is expected that upon the basis of thia report the president will send word to ' the foreign relations committee when it i ieets on Monday relative to the Fall iC3olutioti which provides for a break in c'iplomatic relations. with Mexico. The atate department today is en-l-'aged tn further Investigation of the .Tonkins case. With the department officially advised of tho release of Jenkins ond cable reports declaring that he waa released upon bail, the officials of the department were attempting to straighten the matter out. In the opinion of facials, Jenkins must have b-en released by order of the Mexican government, for the official report from the American embassy at Mexico CJty failed to make mention of payment of bail. The Jenkins affair Is the crux of the Mexican situation and .while there are other matters which have to be settled, it Is generally believed here that if the Jenkins affair is satisfactorily closed then other questions can be settled with-; out resorting to any such drastic action ; as intervention. "I Opinion in congress as to the future i action is divided and there is doubt. whether any more to break diplomatic relations with Mexico could be passed without such a request from the president.
