See the details and references section of help("wilcox.test"). A small
section from the details might be relevant :

     By default (if 'exact' is not specified), an exact p-value is
     computed if the samples contain less than 50 finite values and
     there are no ties.  Otherwise, a normal approximation is used.

Also type in stats:::wilcox.test.default or getAnywhere
("wilcox.test.default") to see the actual codes.

Regards, Adai
