PRESENCE IN WASHINGTON
NOT NECESSARY.
REPORTED Lind WILL RETURN
Waiting Attitude OF United States Is
Sure to Force important Develop
ments, According to an official Con
versant With Mexican Affairs.
REPORTED Lind WILL RETURN
(Bg Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 2.-Secretary Bry-
an in communication with President
Wilson at the summer capitol over the
Mexican situation told him there is
no cause for his presence in Washing
ton. The situation seems unchanged.
It is unofficially stated that Lind will
return to the United States soon, un-
less some action of Huerta changes
his plans.
The consul at Monterey requested
searching investigation of the re-
ported execution of six Americans by
Mexican troops.
cecretary Bryan remained at the
state department Monday for news
from Mexico until few minutes be-
fore his train left for the Maryland
shore, where he lectured last night.
AS he fastened to the train he de-
clared nothing had been received ex-
cept messages relating to the move
! ments of American citizens in the
southern republic.
Earlier in the day the secretary had
conferred with Senator Bacon, chair
man of the foreign relations commit
tee and both stated that no furthel
suggestions had been made by specia
envoy Lind to the Huerta government
and that no overtures from the Mexi
can side had been made.
Secretary Bryan had been in con
munication before his departure witt
President Wilson at Cornish, n. II
but said he did not know whether tn
President would return to Washingto
today. 1t was the general impres
sion that President Wilson would nc
hasten back unless there were ind
cations of some immediate develop

negotiations between this governmer
and the Huerta regime.

can affairs stated last night that tn
