Mexico City, Aug LEX Governor
John Lind, the personal envoy of Pres
ident Wilson, in Mexico City, today in.
stalled himself in temporary Office at
the United States embassy as uGolli-
cial adviser to the American charge
d'affares, Nelson O'Snaughnessy. Mr.
Ind passed several hours in cr,se
conference with the charge.
Mr. Lind was an early riser this
morning. The sun had not mcunteI
high above the mountains before he
was astir. He took stroll through
the park in front of his hotel and down
San Francisco avenue before the shut
ters were removed from the windows
A few hours later an embassy auto
mobile called at the hotel and cor
veyed Mr.. Lind to the embassy OF
the United States, where, to the &C
compartment of the hammering of
carpenters in adjoining rooms, they
were preparing the household goods of
Henry Lane Wilson, the former Am
erican ambassador here, for shipment
to the United States, the adviser en-
tered on his duties.
In the meanwhile, Mrs. Parke, the
wife of an attache, who is doing the
honors in the absence of Mrs. O'Shau-
henessy, called on Mrs. Lind and ar.
ranged for drive this afternoon
about the city.
DIR. William Bayard Hale, who no
longer hides his identity as the con-
tidential envoy of President Wilson.
called on the embassy today and held
a long conference with Ex-Governor
Lind and Mr.. O'Shaughnessy.
Federico Gamboa, the new Mexican
secretary for foreign relations, speak
ing today with regard to Mr. Lind's
mission. said:
II have great faith in the reasons
ableness of the judgment of the Unit
ed States, and l have the conviction
that the differences between the Uni.-
ed States and Mexico will soon be ad
justed.'
The arrival of John Lind, whose
W MChlCo was tlo
direct cause of public manifestation
yesterday in support of General
l4uertas attitude toward American
mediation has been devoid of any
thrills. When Mr.. Lind as the per-
sonal representative Of President Will.
sen, alighted from his train last night
after a tedious days journey from
Vera Cruz, there were only a few per-
sons about the station.
Mr.. Lind persistently maintained
that reticence which he has observed
since he was summoned from his
home in Minnesota to undertake his
present mission. Just what he is to
DO here, or just when he will begin
the negotiations for which he has
come, are as gerat mystery as be-
fore his arrival.
He was accompanied to the capital
by Mrs. Lind, William w. Canada, the /
United States consul at Vera Cruz, b
and by Dr. William Bayard Hale, act a
ing under instructions of the state de- a
partment The party was received by S
Nelson Shaughnessy, secretary of e
the United States embassy, who has o
been acting as charge d'affaires since 9
the resignation of Ambassador Will
son, and Charles E. Park, member S
Of the embassy staff. Police in large n
numbers guarded the approach to the s.
station, but as the party was driven p
tc hotel where reservations had been e
made, the public generally assumed u
an apathetic attitude. e
Reporters who endeavored to inter- II
view Mr. Lind met with little success.
Mr.. Lind and his wife did not come .
C Mexico prepared for anything but
} brief visit, travelling with little bag
gage. The departure for Mexico was IN
80 hurried that it occurred to neither re
Mr. nor Mrs. Lind that warmer cloth m
ng would be wanted in the uplands U
If Mexico. Last night Mr.. Lind, with y
out an overcoat and his wife without ~
wraps. shivered in the cold air here. "
