MAY CALL ELECTION
Views Of Washington Officials Made
Known to Hu6Tta.
Feeling in Washington Optimistic
-Constitutionalists May Ac-
cept Plan Offered by Ling.

Washington, ID. C.-The Huerta gov
eminent, through conferences between
John Lind, President Wilson's per-
sonal representative, and Foreign Min
lister Gamboa, now knows the view
point of the United States and its de-
sire for only peaceful and friendly
solution of Mexico's troubles. The
formal communication Mr.. Lind bears,
however, will be transmitted to the
Mexican government by diplomatic
representatives of foreign powers in
Washington.
What the result of publishing these
views will be, officials here do not
venture to predict. They have nc
assurances that the Huerta govern
ment will accept them, but they be-
lieve the spirit thus far shown by the
Huerta officials jussifies a hopeful
feeling for the success of Mr.. Lind's
mission.
Observers of the situation generally
look for pronouncement of some kline
from Huerta Immediately following ths
presentation of President Wilson.
message through Mr.. Lind. 1t is ex
pected in diplomatic circles that Pres
ident Huerta will announce call TO
an early election, even setting thu
date.
Constitutionalists hitherto have as
serted they would not engage in an.
election in which the Huerta govern
ment is in control over the election
machinery. The possibility of al
agreement, however, for a non-parti
san commission of Mexicans &c con
duct the election is being discusse
and should the situation actually pro

Lind to secure the participation by tn
constitutionalist leaders in such

There is no intention, at present, o
lifting the embargo on arms; in fac
the President is said to have taken

LIND CoNFERs WITH GAMBoA
Mexican Minister of Foreign Rela.
tions Receives American.

Washington, d. c. News from
Mexico City that John Lind, personal
representative of President Wilson,
and FREDERICK Gamboa, Mexican min
lister of foreign relations, had estab-
lished unofficial relations by person
al meeting, brought encouragement to
administration officials here. 1t was
felt by them that the first step in the
program of the American government
to throw it's influence in the direction
of quiet and peaceful settlement of
the revolutionary troubles had succeed
ed
The incident, however, it was
learned from official sources, will not
change the procedure previously out
lined to Mr.. Lind before he left Wash
ington- He will submit all his repre-
sensations to Charge d'Affaires
O'Shaughnessy, who will transmit
them in accordance with diplomatic
proprieties to the Mexican minister of
foreign relations
Mr.. Lind and Mr.. Gamboa's meet
ing, however, was looked on by Off
cials here as the beginning of frank,
though unofficial relations, through
which the Mexican government might
be informally and more fully acquaint-
ed with the ideas of the Washington
administration 1t has been left en-
tirely to Mr.. Lind's discretion on
whom to call. Although there is
nothing in Mr.. Lind's instructions
which would prevent him from calling
on Provisional President Huerta, it is
not regarded that he would do so I'M
less the latter had indicated his desire
to receive the unofficial envoy.
