Its All Off Again In Mexico
Washington, Sept. 5—Uncer
loinly is again the dominent
feature in the Mexican situa
alion, and the solution seems
as far away as ever. Presi
dent Wilson and Sec. Bryan
profess to believe that Pres
ident Haeurta will not be a
candidate for re-election, but
their optimissic view is not
-hared by many. With Diiu
sent out of the country on a
farcical diplomatic mission,
and the opponents of the pres
ent administration either hid
ing like a lot of rabbits In fear
of (heir lives or out in (he field
in armed opposition to the
government, it looks as though
Huerta had deliberatly planed
to fix matters to succeed him
self.
Information r eceived . from
Special Envoy Lind today from
Vera Crux, from (lie Americna
embassy at the City of Mexico
and from (he Mexican Foreign
Office itself all points to any
thing but acpuiescence on the
part of the present adminiS'
(ration in Mexico to the plaZ
presented by Lind.
