Emissary Keeps Silent.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 12, 1913:
Refuses to Talk of His Mission Except with Officials.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    MEXICO CITY, Aug. 11.— Since his arrival here last night ex-Gov. Lind has continued to remain discreetly silent concerning his mission.
    At the Hotel Lascurain to-night, after several hours' conference with the Chargé d'Affaires, Mr.' O'Shaughnessy, at the American Embassy, Mr. Lind refused to discuss his plans or talk about the Mexican situation at all, just as he has done ever since he was asked to come here by President Wilson.
    The Mexicans and the members of the foreign colony of the city alike apparently display no interest in the presence of President Wilson's representative.
    Mr. Lind, so far as is known, has not communicated with President Huerta or any other officer of the Mexican Government.
    The arrival of Mr. Lind from Vera Cruz last night was not marked by the slightest excitement, and the small crowd which gathered at the railroad station was attracted only by the presence there of some 200 mounted and foot police, who had been assembled at the order of President Huerta to prevent any possible outbreak.
    There were many newspaper correspondents and photographers on hand, and Mr. and Mrs. Lind smilingly posed for several pictures. To the correspondents Mr. Lind said that he had nothing to talk about.
    As soon as the flashlights had been taken, Mr. and Mrs. Lind entered an automobile with Mr. O'Shaughnessy and went at once to the Hotel Lascurain, where a suite had been engaged for them.
