LIND At MEXICO
TO Be PRESENT
At FINAL STAGES
Special Envoy Annoyed by
Huerta Governments Pre-
ter-DiplOmatic Course.
REPLY TO WILSON MAY
CHALLENGE NOTES EQUITY
May Also Contend That Huerta
Himself Has No Right
to Accede.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. THE final
stages of the negotiations between
Mexico and the United States are to
be participated in personally at snort
range by John Lind. He arrived this
morning from Vera Cruz
The series of delays in Provisional
President Huerta's formal answer to
the United States and the lack of
definite action which would indicate
his attitude in face of the demands
made has been annoying to President
Wilson's personal representative.
II was known that negotiations had
been conducted in an indirect man
ner, not following the ordinary diplo-
matte course, and Mr. Linds sudden
appearance in the Federal capital is
assumed to be due to his desire to
bring things quickly to a clearly
fined point
Provisional President Huerta's for
NAL negative reply to the United
States demands. which was discussed
in detail at last nights cabinet meet
ing, will set forth that the United
States has no right, legal or other
WISE. to demand General Huerta' s
given out today from one of the de-
partments of the Mexican govern
ment
The reply, it is said, will also point
out that Provisional President Huerta
has no legal right to accede to the
demands.
The informant says it was decided
to incorporate in the reply declara-
ton that General Huerta intends to
increase the Mexican army to 500. 900
men.
Mr.. Lind. the personal representa-
tive of President Wilson, arrived
this morning from Vera Cruz. The
United States embassy had not re-
ceived any advices of his coming.
Mr.. Lind proceeded to the American
embassy, where he will reside during
his stay. He was accompanied by
Captain William A. Burnside, the
American military attache, and En-
sign John L.. HILL of the battleship
Louisiana. who was detailed by Rear
Admiral Fletcher to act as Mr.. Lind's s
aide. There uToT I speculation

action was taken.
Mr.. Lind had not notified anybody
that he was coming to the federal
capital. The staff of the United
States embassy learned the news
from the morning papers. Only one
of the clerks of the embassy went to
the station to meet him.
In Contrast With His First Arrival.
The public and the Mexican Of
ficials likewise did not know of Mr.
Lind's movements, and he came into
the city in manner contrasting
greatly with his first arrival here.
AS Mr.. Lind stepped from the train
he consented to pose Tor several pho
tographers, but to all inquiries by
interviewerS he made noneommital
replies, thus maintaining the reputa-
tion for taciturnity which he earned
on his previous trip.
WASHINGTON, Nov John
Lind's unexpected return to Mexico
City from Vera Cruz is understood
here to have been without direct or

with the general instructions under
