NOT WANTED UNLESS HE BEARS RECOGNITION, HUERTA
 TELLS PRESIDENT.
WILSON MAKES STATEMENT,
Warship New Hampshire, Bearing Executives Representative to Mexico, Reached Vera
 Cruz Last Night.

Washington, Aug. 9.-John Lind, un- officially President Wilson's repre- sentative, and officially adviser to the American embassy at Mexico City, will go from Vera Cruz to the capital of the southern republic. Press re- ports of threats made by Huerta sym- pathizers will not keep him on board the battleship New Hampshire at Vera Cruz
 The president and Secretary Bryan have received from the American en- bassy in Mexico City the text of the communication handed Charge d'Af- faires O'Shaughnessy, saying Lind would nto be welcome unless the Huerta government was recognized.
 By direction of President Wilson, Secretary Bryan issued the following official statement in answer to the statement of the Mexican foreign of fee that Lind was regarded as per soma non grata in Mexico City:
 "The statement of the Mexican for eign office was based on misrepre- oChtdtioh lOl WAiCh lulS is not responsible In sending Gov. Lind as adviser to the embassy the president is entirely within his rights, and this department will not assume that his going will be regarded as un- friendly when the character of his mission is understood"
 Despite an attitude of optimism, there was some apprehension in of ficial circles over the reception which will be accorded Lind. Official cir cles have insisted, and still insist, that the appearance of opposition on the part of the Huerta government is a bluff in final attempt to force rec ognition. If it is, all will be well.
 Officials at the White House and at the state department insist that if the situation was so serious as press dis patches describe, Charge d'Affaires OShaughnessy would have informed the state department.
 President Is Festive.
 The president is becoming restive tuC dPpdi Cilly OI SdliiHCd oI- tempt to force his hand It is known he has told Senators Bacon, Kern and other party leaders in the senate that he believes there is no doubt mem bers of the minority of that body are trying to make a peaceful solution of the Mexican problem impossible. | Every jingo speech made, he ex- 1 plained, is accepted in official cir cles as indicating growing senti- ment in this country for intervention. He has taken the position that the only way Huerta could be kept in power would be for this government to send an armed force into Mexico, which would have the effect of mak- ing him war president, rallying to his support the factions now fighting among themselves, and embarking this country in a tive-year conflict. Intervention Never Considered.
 The president still insists that in- tervention never has been considered by him even as a last resort But there was growing feeling here that the president would not be able to carry out his program. Those who know Huerta best here will not be surprised if he curtly orders Lind to remain on board the New Hampshire and return to Galveston. It is also within the bounds of possibility that he will hand 'Shaughnessy his pass ports and request him to leave unless he agrees to recognize the existing government.
 An unofficial dispatch received here quotes Huerta as saying that the limit of patience has been reached so far as the United States is concerned, and that he has decided to resist with arms any further attempt on the part of the United States to interfere in Mexican affairs.
