 VERA CRUZ, Aug. 9.-FOrmcr Gov ernor John Lind of Minnesota, the per sonaI representative of the president of the United States and counsellor of the American embassy in Mexico City, landed on Mexican soil late today and went direct to a hotel in Vera Cruz. When he will leave for the capital is not determined but it will not be to- night.
 People in Vera Cruz gave no intima- ton of a desire to indulge in a dem onstratiOn of disapproVal at Lind's coming. His landing was witnessed by only small group, made up of patient, curious persons who watched from the piers the battleship New Hampshire, which made the trip from Galveston, since the vessel anchored shortly after noon.
 Slight apprehension was felt by the foreigners here that popular manifesto tion might be held tonight and it was feared that the thousands of laborers with their pockets filled with their weeks wages might prove good ma teral for the agitatOrs. but the local authorities announced that any att tempt at disorder would be suppressed.
 A conference between John Lind and Dr Wm. Bayard Hale, two personal representatives in the Mexican repub- lie of President Wilson, took place this afternoon aboard the battIeship LOuisi- ana, the flagship of the second division of the United States Atlantic fleet after the former governor of Minnesota had been received by Rear Admiral Frank F. Fletcher and William W. Canada, the United States consul at Vera Cruz.
 Lind arrived off Vera Cruz at 1 o'clock this afternoon on the battleship New Hampshire from Galveston and immediately transferred to the flagship Louisiana.
 pr. Hale came to Vera Cruz from Mexico City this morning. The confer ence on the Warship resulted in giving each representative official an under standing with regard to the latest de- Velopments in the Mexican situation, but the details of their conversation were not revealed.
 With the expectation that Lind would go ashore soon after the arrival of the New Hampshire, a small crowd gath cred at the pier, but there was no sign of open hostility. Acting upon the in structions of the federal authorities in Me&lCO tlJN, the local OIIlcldiS ndO issued orders to prevent a demOnstra- tion, but apart from adverse opinions privately expressed, the public ap- peared almost apathetic.
 There was not even a casual meeting between Lind and the authorities of Vera Cruz Captain James H. Oliver, commanding the New Hampshire was not obliged to call on General Gustavo Maas, commander of the federal gar rison, as his boat had been out of Mex ican waters only a few weeks and un- til he does call on General Maas. the military commander will not visit the warship.
 Unless instructions to the contrary are received from the capital, Lind will proceed to Mexico City without hind rance, though when he will start is not announced. Hale will accompany him to Mexico City.
 Hale has been in Mexico two months as the personal representative of Presi- dent Wilson, but never admitted his Washington connection which may ex-
