Washington, August 1.-The ad-
ministration was puzzled today by
reports from Mexico City alleging
that an effort was being made to pre-
vent John Lind, special representa-
tive of the President, reaching there
unless he recognized the Huerta
government"
President Wilson, through Secre-
tary Bryan, has made it very clear
that he does not expect any interfer-
ence with Lind. In telegram sent
to the American embassy at Mexico
City, the secretary Of state wired:
You may say to the minister of
foreign affairs that Governor Lind
comes to Mexico on a mission Of
peace and that the President feels
sure his presence there will contrib
ute toward a settlement of the diff
flculty. The Mexican government
should await the Presidents COM
munication and not give weight to
Misrepresentation"
A long confidential report from
the embassy at Mexico City is under
stood to have advised the admins
tration that while there has been op-
position expressed to Linds coming
In circles close to President Huerta,
the great mass of the business men
in the Republic welcome the move.

from Galveston saying that special
Envoy Lind had departed for Vera

protests against the present media
tion of the United States. We wish
