DECIDES TO TAKE 4 REST OVER
 LABOR DAY
ENCOURAGING REPORTS
Message from American Embassy at
 Mexico City of Hopeful Tenor-cen-
 sratuIations on His Message.

Washington, Aug. 29.-President Will son left Washington late today for the summer capital at Cornish, N. H., still hopeful of favorable continuation of the negotiations undertaken by this country to bring about peace in Mex. leo.
 Although no affirmative action on either side had been reported up to the time of the presidents departure, encouraging despatches were received from Nelson O'Shaughnessy in charge
 Of the American embassy at Mexico
 City, bearing on the general situation.
 These reached the president few
 hours before train .time and led him
 to determine upon a short rest over
 Labor day.
 LuII Will Be Beneficial.
 Nothing in the advices from Mex-
 leo City gave the administration off,
 cials cause for particular anxiety, and 1t was the general conviction that a
 Hull in the diplomatic exchanges would
 be beneficial to all concerned. The president, it is known, feels that good may come from an opportunity for the position of this government as an-
 nounced in his message of Wednesday, to sink in"
 Excitement subsiding over the ex- change of proposals and replies would It was believed, lead to further nego- tfations between the officials of Mex fco City and John Lind, the personal
 representative of this government. Encouraging Comrnunications. Mir, Lind. it was asserted tonight. had been instructed from Washi ngton to continue to act at his own discre- tien as to whether he should await developments at Vera Cruz or to re
 turn to Mexico City, Up to a late hour no dispatches had been received at the state department from Mir Lind, Early in the day MT. Bryan con ferred with the president over the re- ply of Senor Gamboa, Mexican score 1 tary of foreign affairs, to Mir. Lind's
 second note, They also considered a
 message sent by MT. Lind to Washing ton yesterday afternoon. That these latest communications gave reason for hopeful expectations was freely admit l ted.
 Lind May Send Third Note.
 MT. Lind, it was reported, probably would make the next move in the ne- gotiations which the president enn phatScallX asserted in his message had not been closed and could be resumed on the initiative of either nation The fact that the Mexico City officials in 1 their second note of reply had receded from the demand for an exchange of accredited ambassadors, 1t was point cd out, left an opening for future
 moves. The view was expressed that 1 the 4Gan1Iboa reply to the second Amer fcan note might actuate Mr. Lind to address 8 third note to the offfcials of ! the Huerta government. Acting at his ! own discretion, it was suggested that l the American representative might 1 forward g. message to Mexico City l from Vera Cruz before determining upon going to the Mexican capital in 1 person for renewal of direct nego- 1 tiations.
 General Approval of Message. Before deciding to go to Cornish, President Wilson discussed the sftua-
 tion at length with cabinet officers and arrangements were made whereby he could be notified at once of any devel- 1 opments. Should anything happen to require his presence in Washington before Tuesday, he planned to return 1 at a moments notice. MT. Tumulty, secretary to the president, remained in Washington tonight to be in direct touch with developments, planning to go to his New Jersey home tomorrow,
 however, upon the return of Secretary l Bryan
