Huerta Defiant Lind Quits City in Mexico Crisis
In Mexico City on November 12 Gen Victoriano Huerta defied US demands to delay the new Congress and make his stance known to the diplomatic corps by midnight. John Lind, Wilson‘s envoy, waited for a reply by 6 pm and left for Vera Cruz at 8 pm. Lind’s departure follows failed efforts to secure Huerta’s compliance, with O Shaughnessy delivering the ultimatum and Bryan preparing an official statement as tensions spike. Passports and evacuations loom as rumors swirl, and Lind’s movement to the consulate signals shifting U.S. pressure amid the Veracruz deadline.

Turf Exchange Is Raided Seizing Private Wire Network
New York inspectors and detectives raided a Sixth Avenue building uncovering a complete telephone exchange used for private wires linking rooms to major race tracks. Hasty escapes left hints and coats as bookmakers pressed to record bets. The operation, a two month investigation, exposed long running recircuits bypassing the telephone company. Police said the setup had existed for at least ten years and the raid would disrupt many bookmakers and bettors relying on racing results.
