VIM. Bayard Hale Declares
That Huerta Will
Capitulate
LIMBS MISSION IS
CERTAIN OF SUCCESS
Optimism Grows as Investi-
gator Reports on the
Situation

Washington, Sept. 5.Though the ad-
minstration now takes very optl-
mistic view OF the Mexican situation, it
does not warrant statements that
Huerta has yielded everything asked by
the United States.
1t was acknowledged by administra
ton officials yesterday that no personal
pledge had been received from Huerta
that he would not be candidate in the
coming elections.
| 1t was apparent, however, that Presi-
dent Wilson believes that Huerta is in
directly committed not to be eandi-
date in the second note by Foreign Min
lister Gamboa to this government. Sup
| Elementary verbal exchanges between
Charge 0Shaughnessy and Gamboa have
strengthened the presidents view of the
note, and so long as Huerta remains in
control of the government at Mexico
City President Wilson will attempt to
hold him to the statement made in that
note that he is constitutionally in
eligible to become a candidate.
What is feared in Washington is that
Huerta may resign in order to qualify
as candidate. 1t was apparent this
morning. though, that the administra
ton was willing to credit Huerta with
good faith in the matter and to take the
hopeful view that the entire Mexican
embroglio viii be cleared by the devel-
|opments of the next few days. Officials
here expect that these developments will
be along the line of making it very plain
that the United States will not recog-
nize Huerta, but that he will not be
candidate for reelection.
President Wilson was told by his per-
sonal investigator, DIR. William Bayard
Hale, yesterday that the success of the
adoption OF his policy is about to be
proved. Fresh from Mexico City, where
he was in constant touch with John
Lind. the presidents special envoy, DIR.
Hale gave the president first hand in
formation as to the Huerta regime that
he has so anxiously sought. 1t was UNI
derstood that Hale told the president
that despite the hamboyant tone of
Minister Gamboa's communications to
this government Huerta, having Saved
his face" is now casting about for a
graceful means of captivating to the
unwayering demands OF the Wilson adj
ministration that he shall not be a can
didate for the post of constitutional
president of the October elections.
Secretary Bryan was present at the
conference between the president and
DIR. Hale, and seemed satisfied that his
attitude of optimism was about to be
justified
Informal negotiations between the
Mexican foreign Office and Mr.. Lind have
been resumed through Charge 0'Shaugh-
messy.
After the conference between Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan We'd
nesday it became known that within the
last three days there have been inter
changes of ideas between Gov. Lind and
Senior Gamboa the Mexican minister of
foreign affairs 1t was learned also that
Gov. Lind has reported that he regards
his mission to Mexico as having been
1t has been apparent since the second |
exchange of notes that there would be
no great difficulty in coming TO agree |
ment on other terms if only the posi- |
bility of Huerta becoming a candidate |
were out of the way. Despite the blus-
ter and the ruffling attitude of his second !
note Senior Gamboa skillfully paved the
way for the elimination of this one great |
obstacle. He stressed the point that |
Gen. Huerta had never announced his |
that no policital organization |
had endorsed him and that the constitu-
ton expressly provided against his can
didacy.
