He stated yesterday that through his

government regarding the suitability
of Mr.. Pindell had been expedited and
that there is no longer any obstacle to
his speedy confirmation.
President Wilson yesterday referred
all inquiries concerning the Pindell

to his attention recently. At the state
department IL was learned that Mr.

president by the secretary of state,
although it may not yet have come
to the presidents personal attention.
The delay in the appointment of
Mr.. Pindell, according to high author
ity at the state department, has been
caused solely by the fact that the

his capital for some weeks and has
not been able to attend to the mat
ter. Senator Lewis stated that there
had been a certain amount of unnec-
essary delay in the transmission of

ment This latest development in the
situation is surrounded by much reti-
oence here. II is pointed out that IL
is probable he is acting in the belief
that important developments may be
expected. One official view is that
"O'Shaughnessy either had received
intimation that Huerta is about TO
answer the presentation made early in

Gus OF advising with Lind as TO addi-

the meeting and Secretary Bryan car
ried a large envelope of state depart
