cARRANZA STILL
 H0L DING AL00F
 ROM ARMISTlCE


 Washington, May 1-To what extent mediation between the United States and Huerta would be affected by a refusal of the Carranza seIeme.at to suspend military operations against Huerta pending mediation, was the chief question confronting the South American mediators when they re- sumed their sessions at the Argentine legation today. 8
 The midnight conference between the mediators and Secretary Bryan lasting for more than two hours had established definitely that the United States and Huerta would suspend mill tary operations, the only reservation made by the United States being that it would be free to repeI any attacks. but Carranza still held aIoof from any suspension of hosti1ities between him and the Mexican federal forces.
 All efforts, therefore, were directed to have the truce include the warning elements in northern Mexico as we'll as those of the United States and Huefta.
 The nediators are still hopeful that the entire subject, including the i'm ternaI Mexican issue may be drought within their de1iberations but if not it is assumed they still will proceed to the adjustment of the conflict growing out of the Tampico flag incident on which President Wilson's action was Justified by Congress, the landing of American forces at Vera Cruz and other issues.
 The enyoys morning session began toward II o'clock with the expectation of afternoon and night sessions.
