Carranza probably will not attend

The constftutionalistas evidently are
not worried by Carranza's failure to

about the raising of the embargo on

couraged them to believe that they
will win any way and will have little

But the compelling reason is said to
be the unwillingness of Carranza to
make definite promises governing his
future action. This latter is most
important II the constitutionalists are
to get arms from this side of the

Whether there is to be break will
depend on the final conference be
