Nogales, Sonora, Nov. 19.-Negotia-
tions between President Wilson's per-
sonal representative, William Bayard
Hale and General Carranza were brok-
en- off suddenly today. The constitu-
tionalist leader prepared to leave for
tie interior with his staff and provi-
siona! cabinet.
Mr.. Hale declined to say whether
he would leave, nor would he confirm
the termination of his dealings with
General Carranza through Francisco
Escudero, minister of exterior rela-
tions in the Carranza cabinet.
1t was clear, however, that there
had been break in the dealings over
the question put by the Washington
government last Sunday and to which,
it was asserted, the constitutionalists
had failed to answer directly.
Ignacio Bonillas, minister of fomen-
to, and communications in Carranza's
provisional cabinet, called today on
Mr.. Hale, at the American consulate.
Immediately afterward Mr.. Hale left
for his hotel, on the American side. 1t
was believed that Bonillas formally
had ended the transactions in which
he has been acting as confidential
translator.
The first open disagreement occur
red last night when Escudero an.
nounced that he had requested Hale
to present formal credentials so that
negotiations might become official.
This, it was made clear today, was
virtually demand for full recognition
of the revolutionary party before
treating on the subjects under discus
sion.
The nature of the question which
caused the disagreement was not
made clear 1t was known, however,
that it had arisen simultaneously with
reports of manv military successes Of
the revolutionists. This had tended
to reinforce the spirit of Carranza's
advisers to a point where admittedly
they did not consider the right to inn
port arms freely as important as pre-
viously. 1t also was pointed out that
the progress of the insurgents in
Sinaloa, where the state capital was
taken last week by General Obregon
would result soon in the taking of
Mazatlan, an important seaport on
the west coast. Also the fall of Quay
mas through the internal demOraliza-
ton of the federal garrison was ex
pected at any time.
Minister Escudero announced at
noon that he would not accompany
Carranza SOUTH He said that he had
nothing to announce further than
what he said last night in regard to
the termination of informal negotia-
tions."
The departure of General Carranza,
military and civil head of the revolu-
tionary party, it was believed, would
make impossible continuation of the
negotiations although Escudero said
his position empowered him to receive
overtures from Washington.
Hale evidently was waiting instruc-
tions from Washington as to whether
he should leave the border or remain
to conclude the dealing with Escu-
dero.
General CarranZa, with his staff,
will leave for the south at p. M, it
was announced today.
1t was stated that Carranza's mani
festo regarding the internal and ex-
ternal affairs of Mexico" would not be
issued before his departure.
Carranza, when he left his provi-
sional capital at Hermosillo, more
than two weeks ago, was not accom-
panied to Nogales by any troops. He
will be accompanied south by his
general staff and probably by the
four members of his provisional cabi-
net. President Wilson was notified
by telegraph early today of the unex-
pected developments here. The mat
ter, it was believed, would rest until
late today on account of the slow
transmission Of messages by code be-
tween Washington and Hale, the pres
ident's personal spokesman here.
Another Warship to Tuxpam.
Vera Cruz, Mex, Nov. 19.-The bat |
tleship New Hampshire sailed from
here today to join the Louisiana at |
Tuxpam, where the situation is report |
ed threatening. The rebels are pre-
pared to attack the town again.
Preparing Reply to Y. S.
Mexico City, Mex, Nov. 19.-Gen-
eral Huerta planned today to submit !
to the members of his cabinet the /
massage which he proposes to deliver
to his newly convened congress tomor-
row. The cabinet meeting was called i
for this afternoon at which time it
was expected that General Huerta
would ask its members to go over
the message with him.
The document is short and it is said, /
reviews tersely the most important
acts of the Huerta administration,
dealing frankly with the dissolution of |
congress and calling attention to the
strained relations with the United
States.
It is expected that congress will re-
