Washington, Nov. 3Reports from
John Lind, President Wilson's person
al representative n Mexico, concern
Ing his recent conferences in Vera
Cruz, with the Russian, German and
Norwegian ministers to Mexico, con
veyed the impression to President
Wilson today that there was no dis
position on the part Of those diplo-
mats to cooperate with the United
States in lending their support to the
plans of the Washington government
for solving the situation.
No announcement was made here
today as to any further policy. Ad-
ministration officials did take occa-
sion, however, to say that published
stories forecasting armed interven-
tion were not justified at this time,
that there was nothing in the situa-
tion, SO far the Washington admins
tration was concerned, to warrant
such an assumption.
carranza Sends Emissary
The arrival of Roberto ". Pesquie-
ra, an emissary from General Carran-
"a. the constitutionalist chief, raised
The question Of whether the Washing
ton government would receive repre-
sentations from the constitutionalists
President Wilson made it clear to
those with whom he conferred that
officially the government could not
receive any formal representations,
but that in some way or other the in
formation which the constitutionalists
desire to lay before the American
government would be received.
In that connection it became known
that the constitutionalists, at recent
conferences Of chiefs, decided not to
ask for recognition of belligerency,
but to request that there be no in
reference from the United States in
their efforts to solve the situation by
arms. The constitutionalists want
the embargo on arms removed so
that all factions may be supplied on
an equal footing. The president has
been petitioned to remove the en-
barge The understanding here is
that three diplomats at Vera Cruz
sought the conference with Mr. Lind.
It was made plain today that the
presidents envoy will not soon return
to the United States, as has been re-
ported
Secretary Bryan had not received
today from H. "a. Tupper, Of the Inter
national peace forum, representations
in behalf Of the constitutionalists,
which he has agreed to consider un-
officially. At the state department to-
day it was said that DR., Tupper had
no official status and that Secretary
Bryan, in receiving any communica-
tion. does SO in an unofficial capa
city.
The battleship Nebraska, enroute to
Mexican waters with three other yes
sells Of the Third division Of the Allan
tic fleet, was ordered today to Tam
pico to join the New Hsnlnshire. AS
none Of the other ships has been or
dered home, that will leave two bat
tIeships at Tampico and five at Vera
Cruz.
