HALE CONFERS WITH
GENERAL CARRANZA

NOGALES, Sonora, Mexico, Nov. ~.
Crossing narrow little street from
the United States into Mexico today,
William Bayard Hale, personal repre-
sentative of President Wilson, met the
constitutionalist chief, General Vic
toriano Carranza and his cabinet, and
presented to them a definite proposal
from the American government.
What that proposal was the Ameri-
can diplomatic agent declined to say.
The Mexican revolutionary leaders also
were silent, but to those who have been
anxiously awaiting the development of
the American policy with regard to
Mexico, it was fraught with possibili-
ties for the destinles of the war-torn
republic and her relations with her
northern neighbor.
GAN that could be learned regarding
the proposal Of the American president
was that 1t was IN writing and that it
required certain things, including
pledges, from the constitutionalists, in
case the United States lifted the en-
barge on the expectation of arms.
Among the guarantees demanded were
said to be the restoration Of general
order in a reasonable time, safety of
Americans and other foreigners, and
the ultimate establishment Of bona fide
representative government.
Into a little room of the tiny
aduana, or custom house, in which
General CarranZa has established
his "ad interim capital, the Ameri-
can emissary was ushered to meet the
chiefs of the revolution against Huerta.
Carranza and his entire cabinet were
there. and with them Mr.. Hale con-
ferred, exchanged views and impress
sions and consulted from noon until the
shadows grew long and envelopcd the

Secretary Bryan was in conference
with many South American diplomats
today. but he said the only subject dis
cussed was arrangements for the Pan
American congress at Santiago, Chile,
next year 1t had been thought that
he would avail himself Of tho opportu-
nifty to inform some of the South
American diplomats Of the Mexican pol
icy, as he did when ho summoned five
Central Americans on Monday. 1t is
understood that Mr., Bryan, however, is
communicating individually with South
American representatives.
II was learned today that only a
broad general view OF the Intentions Of
the United States has been given for
eign diplomats here No information
has been given them of specific steps
planned for the future.
Viscount Chinda, the Japanese en-
bassador. discussed the situation at
some length with Mr.. Bryan. His call
was chiefly 10 inform the state depart
ment officially of the dispatch Of the
armored cruiser Izumo 70 Mexico.

was heard again today IN official cir.
cles. Representative Mann. Republican
leader, said so far as tho Republicans
were concerned, there was no sentiment
in favor of letting down the bars. He
said IL would be Just rs safe 10 allow
