In Beaulieu cottage, Presi-

callers after having told newspaper
men late this afternoon that the
meeting was merely for get together
talk. But it was apparent from the
presid ants very air, that his talk
with Lind had brought him renewed
optimism in the administration Mexi-

policy of secrecy. he belittled the
conference as much as possible. But
he admitted that 1t was call ed at his
suggestion and that the matter of
recognizing the belligerent rights of
the constitutionalists and the advis-
ability of removing the embargo on
arms was discuss ed without decis on.
Despite diplomatic denials, it is be-
lieved certain that ind carries back
with him to Mexico message which
will be backed to home governments
of certain diplomats, through sugges-
