WILSON TO REST
At SUMMER HOME
President Hopeful OF Season
of Recreation in New
Hampshire.
CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS
OF MEDIATION PROGRAM
Believes Pacifcation of Mexico Will
Be Accomplished-Family to
Leave in June.

President Wilson is sanguine of a
satisfactory termination OF the media
ton proceedings concerning this countr"
and Mexico. and the beginning of paci-
fication Of the troublous conditions in
Mexico, that he is already looking for
ward to spending a good portion Of the
summer with his family a. Har,akenden
near Cornish. y. H.. his summer home.
The President some time ago made
preparations to stay In Washington this
summer indications then being that II
Congress should adjourn the Mexican
troubles would keep him here practically
all the time The tent for summer
executive offices was installed and DR.
Grayson was planning to make the Pres
ident as comfortable as possible
The President and his executive force
are, however. now looking forward to
brief periods of vacation and are conf
dent that both the congressional and
Mexican situations will become favor
able enough to al least permit occasional
absences.
Presidents Health Good
The President is represented as enjoy
ing good health and to be keeping in fine
physical condition through golf games,
walks and automobile rides into the open
The use of his outdoor tent started a
large crop of stories that his health is
bad, but these are known to be without
substantial foundation.
Tentative plans have already been
made for Mrs. Wilson and the Presi-
dents family to 30 to Cornish early in
June. Mrs. Wilson's health is improv-
ing. but it is said to be desirable that
she begin her vacation early.
Invited to Flag Day Celebration.
The New Hampshire congressional
delegation. headed by Senators Galinger
and Hollis called on the President today
with delegation of prominent Elks
from that state and invited the President
to attend the Flag day celebration of
the E.lks at Manchester. Monday, June
II, at which time the corner stone of a
new building for the Elks will be laid
The President told his visitors that if his
family is installed at Cornish by that
time and he should make a week -end
trip there he would be pleased to attend
the Manchester ceremonies The delega-
ton received the impression that the
President will be able to attend.
Considers Another Bid.
Senators Kern and Shively and the
other Indiana congressman called on the
President to extend an invitation to at
tend the centennial ceremonies at New
Harmony. Ind, between June and IL,
the date to be fixed to suit his conven-
ience The President said he would take
the invitation under consideration. but
doubts his ability to be present
The White House today announced that
the President was unable to accept an
invitation to review a parade of the

American Representatives and
State Department Of
ficiaIs CIoseted.
AWAIT DEFINITE WORD
FROM HUERTA'S ENJOYS
Representatives From Mexico City
Expect to Reach This Coun-
try Tomorrow.

While interest in the Mexican situation
centered here today on the results of the
capture of Tampco by the constitutions
aliSt forces. diplomatic and State Depart
ment officials were husily engaged in com
pieting preliminary plans for the media
ton conference at Niagara Falls next
week. looking to the general pacitication
of the republic below the border.
American representatives to the media
ton conference We're closeted today with
State Department officials, and the South
American medators We're awaiting def
mite word from Ifuerta's representatives,
who were expected to reach Havana to-
day.
Mr.. SuareZ the Chilean minister. called
on Secretary Bryan at the State Depart
ment TO-DAY. but would not state the OBJ
ject of his visit He said he would leave
Washington for Niagara Falls Saturday
morning The Brazilian ambassador.
Mr.. da Cana. will leave tonight for New
York. where he will Join Mrs. da Cana
before proceeding 10 Niagara Falls. and
Mr. Naon. the Argentine minister. will
leave tomorrow night. according to pres
ent plans.
While the military operations. as the
spectacular side of the international
the mediators and the American mis-
sion proceeded with plans for their
departure for Niagara Falls. All
fear that the Huerta delegation would
not arrive in time for the begin
ming of the conference was dispelled by
the announcement that they We're to pro-
coed direct from Havana TO Key West.
They should reach Florida not later than
tomorrow That would give them ample
time to reach the Canadian border town
for the beginning of the negotiations.
1t became evident that the extent to
which the delegates would accept cour-
tesies OF the American government while
travelling through the United States
would devolve in part upon the discre-
ton of the South American ENJOYS
The Huerta agents had firmly declined
to accept anything but most perfunctory
attention while passing through Gen.
Funston's lines at Vera Cruz, and ii
had been assumed they would pursue
that policy after landing at Key West
from Havana
