Hurry Call Sent To Envoy Wilson.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 4, 1913:
President and Secretary Bryan Summon Him to Washington for Conference To-day.
RUMOR OF HIS RECALL
Ambassador, as He Starts for an Early Morning Train, Admits Having Heard Report.
NO STATEMENT ON MEXICO
Executive's Mediation Policy Is Balked by Huerta — General Embargo on Arms Possible.
    Henry Lane Wilson, the American Ambassador to Mexico, who since Thursday of last week has been stopping in the Waldorf-Astoria, left this city for Washington at 12:30 o'clock this morning. He had been waiting in New York for further orders from the White House or the State department, and they came at 10:30 o'clock last night in the form of a telegram directing the Ambassador to present himself this morning in Washington for a conference with President Wilson and State Secretary Bryan.
    As he left the hotel for the station Ambassador Wilson declined to give his own interpretation of the significance of the call to Washington. He would not say he thought it meant his removal. In the corridors of the Waldorf-Astoria a rumor went about that Mr. Wilson would hear of his official recall from Mexico when he reached Washington, and the same rumor had it that Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the Chargé d'Affaires at present managing the business of the United States Government in Mexico City, would continue in that capacity.
    Ambassador Wilson admitted as he departed that this rumor had not failed to reach him, but how much credence he gave it he would not say. He said that, as a matter of fact, he had not the faintest idea what news would greet him on his arrival in Washington.
    The Ambassador was asked to comment on the statement from the Mexican Minister of the Interior in Mexico City which was published in yesterday's Times. In that statement President Huerta was represented as declining to resign and as intolerant of any interference from any source. The Ambassador had read the statement, but his only comment on it was a smile.
    Mexican officials were, among Mr. Wilson's visitors in the hotel last evening. One was Consul Ricardo Huerta. Another was Vice Consul Jiminez.
