Whether mediation proceedings are to

tutionalists may be- admitted, or
whether negotiations may be further
held up by continued discussion on
the subject OF rebel representation.
was expected to be determined here
today.
Since Friday all progress has bssn
blocked. Under present conditions,
the A. b. c. mediators believe negotia-
tions should be continued with only
American and Huerta representatives
participating. President Wilson and
Secretary Bryan do not believe an
agreement carrying all assuranoe6 OF
peace can be reached without the
concurrence OF General CarranzA. Tho
extent to which this issue may be
carried depends on the administrA-
ton in Washington. The Mexican en-
voys have not yet conferred with the
mediators AZ to she point raised by
the American commissioners. They
are playing q waiting game, leaving
the matter entirely In the hands Of
the mediators. II, however. in the
conversation At IL O'Clock today, the
United States insists upon some way
being found to admit tho Carranzais-
tas, then 1t II expected tho medfatDrs
will communicate this information to
the Mexicans and theft views will be
heard.
1t is pointed out here that the Unit
ed States might find itself in an en-
barrassing position should the media
tors ignore General Carranza. With
the signing Of protocol. the RESPONSE
bility of the mediators ends. Should
General Carranza capture Mexico City
however, and set up a provisional gov
ernment OF his own, the work OF the
peace conference might be completely
undone. This government would be
morally bound to suppora provision
al government agreed upon In the me-
diation proceedings and assurances
that the rebels will also be bound by
the protocol. are desired before nego-
tiations are concluded.
Justice Lamar and Frederick W.
Lehman were in communication with
Washington yesterday and 1t is as
sumed, received instructions as to the
stand that had been taken today re-
garding representation. The Mexicsh
delegates are understood to be with
holding any adv1ces which they have
as to the attitude Of General Huerta
on points so far approved, pending de-
cision on the constftutionalist issue.
The Mexicans are anxious to hasten
proceedings and the mediators have
strongly indicated that the motive Of
the United States is embarrassing
them.
Some reports today were to the ef-
feet that the mediators were disposed
to ignore the letter from the constitu-
tionalists delivered by Juan Urquidi
Friday. American commissioners are
expected to insist however, that Gen
eral Carranza be given a reply. On
the conversation today may hinge the
entire question Of rebel representation.
