THEY TALKED MEXICO
PRESIDENT WILSON, SECRETARY
BRYAN AND SENATE COMMIT.
TEE IN CONFERENCE.
! HOLD A LONG HEART TO HEART TALK
Mr.. Lind Now In Mexico city-ls In
Sympathy With Administration,
But Not Factor There-WilI
Not Recognize Huerta.

Washington.-Two hours confer
ence between President Wilson, Sec
rotary Bryan and the senate foreign
relations committee Saturday brought
about no change in the attitude of the
administration toward Mexico.
The president took the senators in
to his confidence far enough to out
line the following:
That John Lind, his special envoy
to Mexico City, does not bear any solu-
ton of the present situation, but goes
to continue this governments efforts
to induce President Huerta to redeem
his promises for free and constitution
al elections.
That under no circumstances does
the administration propose to recog-
nize the Huerta government.
That Mr.. Lind has gone to Mexico
City to be the "eyes and ears" Of the
Washington administration on the
ground, and to explain the attitude of
this government when he has fully
familiarized himself with the situa-
ton.
That by withdrawing Ambassador
Wilson and sending Mr.. Lind the pres
ident planned to have man on the
ground who was in sympathy with the
administration here and was In no
sense a factor in the situation in Mex
leo City.
President Speaks Frankly.
These suggestions of the president
came out In general discussion. It was
made clear that the purpose Of the
conference was to establish more
frank and intimate relations between
the senate and the administration in
the development of the Mexican poll
ICY, and in the furtherance of this idea
the president talked freely and an.
swered many pointed questions.
While the president disclosed no
definite plan for the qualification Of
Mexico the implication remained that
upon Lind's reports would depend to a
large extent the future policy Of this
country.
There was practically no talk OF
lifting the embargo on the importation
of arms into Mexico which some mem.
bers of the committee believe would
put speedy end to the difficulties.
