government will not recognize tho
legality Of that body. But until
assemblies and canvasses the result
OF the polling. Huerta has an excuse
FOR reffa1n1ng from acting on any and
all demands that he quit.
While doing this, Lind win report
on the recent increase OF the Next
can army on financial conditions ID
the capital district. That he will en-
deavor to get into communication with
representatives of the revolutionists
is dened. 1t Is expected that the nrSt
OF Lnd's reports will reach the state
department late today or tomorrow.
Despite the positive character Of m
OF the Huerta avOwals that under no
circumstances will he resign, there r.
an impression in administration CIR
cles here that he is weakening. The
implied threat of recognition Of the
Carranxa forces means much to Huer.
t. He realizes, diplomats familiar
with the situation here say, that R the
revolutionists can get all Of the arms
and ammunition they want, they viii

not of the best. And the continuous
fighting has disrupted organization.
1t fs because Of these facts that the
president and Secretary Bryan con.
tinue hopeful. And they have been
willing to defer stern measures from
day to day, so long as American lives
were not endangered, because delay
could not harm. and might help.
Lind may be able to get into touch
with Huerta on his present trip. II
he does, an agreement may be reached
which will change the situation. But
no faith will be placed by this gov.
ernment In any promise made. Per.
formances, only, will count.
