OFFICIALS SILENT
BUT ARE OPTIMISTIC
It Is Believed That the Group Sur
rounding Huerta Is Ready for
Compromise.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Secretary
of State William J. Bryan early today
exchanged messages with Charge
o 'Shaugnessy in Mexico City about the
reported concession which members Of
Huerta s official family have intimated
he would make to the United States.
Efforts to recall John Lind, special en-
voy, from Vera Cruz to Mexico City to
discuss the American memorandum
demanding that the next new Mexican
Congress shall not be convened was
taken here to indicate that the group
surrounding Huerta would recommend
compromise. The officials are silent
about the inner negotiations, but their
appearances gave the impression that
they are optimistic.
