Envoy Mute On Mediation.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 2, 1913:
Wilson Says He Will Not Contradict the President's Views.
    Henry Lane Wilson, the American Ambassador to Mexico, who came here from Washington yesterday, declined to comment on the dispatches from Gen. Lucio Blanco, Governor of the State of Tamaulipas, and I. L. Pesqueira, Acting Governor of Sonora, published in yesterday's Times, in which those executives asserted that mediation on the part of the United States in Mexican affairs at present would be offensive.
    "I do not want to say anything that is contradictory to the views of the President," explained Ambassador Wilson in the Waldorf-Astoria.
    Mr. Wilson said he had no plan except to remain in New York awaiting orders. A dispatch from Washington to an afternoon paper indicated that it was his intention to return to Mexico at once. That, the Ambassador explained, was an error arising from a telegram he sent to Chairman Flood of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which said that a "party" was on the eve of departure from New York. By "party," Mr. Wilson said he meant certain men whose testimony, he thought, might be of value to the committee.
