Will Get Line On Mexico.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 29, 1913:
President Expects to Avail Himself of Dr. Hale's Observations.
Special to The New York Times.
    WASHINGTON, May 28.— While officials at the White House and the State Department are exceedingly, reticent on the subject, there is reason to believe that President Wilson expects to avail himself of whatever knowledge of conditions in Mexico are obtained by Dr. William Bayard Hale, the writer, who is now in Mexico City.
    The President has said repeatedly that he had not sent and did not contemplate sending any special Commissioner or other official investigator to Mexico to get first-hand information to enable the President to determine what the situation actually was in that country, with a view to helping him make up his mind as to what his course should be in dealing with the Mexican situation.
    It was understood by those who talked with the President on the subject that he had no thought of displacing Henry Lane Wilson as Ambassador until after the Constitutional elections ordered by President Huerta had been held and a Constitutional President installed. These elections are to take place in October.
