Lind Sails From Galveston.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 8, 1913:
Envoy on Board the New Hampshire — Due at Vera Cruz To-night.
Special to The New York Times.
    GALVESTON, Texas, Aug. 7.— John Lind, who is on his way to Mexico as the representative of President Wilson, reached Galveston at 4:40 o'clock this morning on a special Interurban train from Houston, having been delayed several hours on account of a wreck. He immediately took an automobile to the water front, and there boarded a waiting tender from the battleship New Hampshire, which took him aboard the warship.
    The New Hampshire sailed for Vera Cruz at 10 o'clock this morning, going under full head of steam and with orders to reach that port as soon as possible. She should arrive at Vera Cruz on Friday night.
    Mr. Lind was reticent when questioned by interviewers here.
    "I do not know how long I will remain in Mexico," he said.
    I do not expect the Ambassadorship to be offered to me, and if it is I shall decline to accept it. My mission to Mexico, I believe, has already been well defined and I shall communicate with no one except the President."
    When told of Huerta's statements appearing in the press dispatches this morning and of the attitude of other Mexican officials, Mr. Lind said that he could form no opinion on this matter until he was thoroughly acquainted with all the facts in the case.
