.HUERTA RS PRESIDENT
NOT TO Be RECOGNIZED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-No an
nouncement Of the policy or further
steps to be taken by President Wilson
in the Mexican situation will be male
until former Governor Lind of Mime
sofa. personal representative Of the
presient, arrives in Mexico City and
familiarizes himself with conditions
there.
This was made clear at the While
House yesterday. Mr.. Lind carries in
structions to talk informally With
prominent MeXicans. Administration
officials indicated that no steps toward
mediation policy would be attempted
until after Mr.. Lind had sounded out
sentiment in Mexico and determined
whether the assistance Of the United
States in adjusting the dispute would
be received.
Mr.. Lind will inform inquirers. on
the authority Of President Wilson, tn At
only the government constitutionally
set up will be recognized by the United
States. This will involve the resigna-
ton Of Provisional President Huerta in
favor Of the provisional president Sc
lected by the Mexican factions, the ne y
president to be first appointed minister
of foreign relations in conformity with
the law Of succession in Mexico.
1t was pointed out in administration
circles that while Mr.. Lnds position
now is that of adviser to the American
embassy, he will act in reality as an un-
official ambassador, to be named am
bassadOr when stable government is
organized and recognition is extenda
ny me United States.
lust what part Mr.. Lind would
take in peace negotiations is not made
tlear here, but there is every reason
10 believe that he will merely repre-
sent the views Of the American GOV
ernment to those who consult him. ana
Will not directly interfere With the
progress Of events. unless The Wash
ington government finally decides to
mediate the dispute.
