Representative Of President Wilson
and Mexican Rebel Leader Discuss
Plans.

Nogales, Mex. Nov. 12.-Crossing
a narrow little street from the United
States into Mexico today. william
Eayard Hale. personal representative
Of President Wilson, met the constitu-
tionalist chief, Gen. Carranza. and his
cabinet and presented to them a de-
finite proposal from the American
government.
What the proposal was the Ameri-
can diplomatic agent declined to say
The Mexican revolutionary leaders al.
so were silent, but to those who
have been anxiously awaiting the de-
velopment Of the American policy
with regard to Mexico. it was fraught
with possibilities for the destinies of
the war torn republic and her rela-
tions with her northern neighbor.
Carranza and his entire cabinet
were present and with them Mr.. Hale
conferred. exchanged views and i'm
pressions and consulted for several
hours
The conference was held amid the
simplest surroundings. Mr.. Hale,
accompanied by American Consul
Frederick Simpich. entered the Gus
toms house and Immediately was
ushered into the tiny room.
1gnacio Bonillaz, an American uni
versity alumnus and Carranza's min
lister OF fomento. acting as interpreter
Tor the American representative and
Gen. Carranza, listened to President
Wilson's proposition from Mr.. Hale
and in Spanish presented 1t to the
rebel chieftain.
NO word as to what President Will
son had proposed to Gen. Carranza
through Mr.. Hale or what the rebel
leaders thought Of the proposal was
allowed to leak out
Mr.. Hale went directly from the
conference room to the American side
and entered into communication with
Washington.
While they maintained silence as
to the topics discussed at the con.
ference. the constitut!onalists could
not repress the pleasure they felt
over the action Of President Wilson
in sending personal representative
to them. They felt 1t was tantamount
to unofficial recognition OF the revolu-
tionists.
Coupled with this, there was among
those Mexicans not in the conference
n feeling that the proposition Of
President Wilson vitality concerned
Gen. Carranza's. wish to have the
American embargo on the importation
of arms into Mexico lifted.
Immediately on his arrival Mr.. Hale
got a taste Of frontier hospitality.
The few hotels Of Nogales were
crowded with refugees and President
Wilson's representative was forced to
accept the tender OF. a railroad con-
ductor's room.
