MEXICO CITY, June l5.
Although The spapers here TO-
day were emphasizing the diplo-
matte crisis which has developed
between Mexico and the United
States, the Mexican people gem
orally appeared to be indifferent
to the political tension.
Business continued as usual in
the foreign colonies and capital
lists were inclined to believe that
the outcome Of the sharp note
the American Government sent
to Mexico, and which drew an
equally sharp reply from Presi-
dent Gales, would be . definite

eminent.
Mexicans Blame Sheffield.
The representative Of Henry Ford
announced that the diplomatic inter
change would not halt the building
of Ford motor factory here.
Reaction in Mexican governmental
circles was against Ambassador
Sheffield rather than the American
Government. Mexican politicians
blamed Sheffield for the stern note
which Secretary of State Kellogg
dispatched.
Government officials held that
kellogg should have delivered his
note, to Mexican Ambassador Manuel
C. Teller, In Washington, for trans
mission to President Gales, IL he
was dissatisfied with conditions in
Mexico, and not to have released It
for publication.
Doubt Sheffield's Return.
Conservative officials believe the
breach can be healed without a sur
render of dignity on either side.
The impression is becoming con-
viction in Governmental circles that
Ambassador Sheffield will not re-
turn to Mexico.
It was pointed out that SheffieId's
health is not good and that he can-
not stand the high altitude OF Mex
leo City.
The reference in Presidant Gales
note to the affairs of other nations
was thought to refer to Sheffield'S
interest in the recent British tram

Evans, a British subject.
