Mexico would realize 1t as "a mission

Mr.. Lind goes merely as advisor to the
American embassy in Mexico City and
carries credentials neither to the feder-

will deal with the Huerta government
only thru the charge d'af1aires Of the
American embassy. 30 that there will
be no necessity for his being received
by President Huerta.
While the broad intimation from the
Mexican capital that Lind would be
persona non grata attracted wide at
tention today. officials were confident
that no contingency would occur which
would afford an opportunity for any
overt remonstrances against Mr.. Eind's
presence. The envoy is expected tc
transmit the opinions Of the Ameri-
can government In such q fashion as to
reflect only the friendliness Of this gov
ernment toward the Mexican people
and no political interest in the factional
warfare He will make clear that what
the American government desires tc
see established is q constitutional gov
ernment, legally set up, and 1t has nc
concern with the personnel Of the cam
didates.
Hasey Action Might React.
It was recognized here. however
that Il was within the range Of pos
sibility for the Huerta Government
openly to show its disapproval Of Mr.
Lind's mission. and while no drastic
measures to enforce the opinion Of the
Washington government was planned
It was suggested that the United
States might In such an event fee

or recoEnition Of the belligerents.
