search for man to take the place OF
Huerta as provisional president OF
Mexico today occupied the mediators
following the signing OF the first OF a
series OF protocols. The first peace
document provides for the transfer OF
power from Huerta substantially as
"A government Ia TO be constituted
in Mexico OF a character to be later
provided, which shall be recognized in
Mexico City on (date to be fixed) and
which from that day forward shall ex-
ercise public functions until there shall
be inaugurated a constitutional presi-
dent"
The language OF the protocol pur-
posely uses the phrase which shall be
recognized in Mexico City" without
specifying by whom, so that in another
protocol recognition will be proposed BY
the United States as well as the medi-
ating countries, Argentine. Brazil ana
Chile.
The first protocol is the only one
which will deal with the method OF

opments at Niagara Falls.

sellor, and during the last few days he
has conferred with Secretary Bryan
and has been in communication with
President Wilson over the development
of the plan whereby 1t is proposed to
transfer the Mexican government from
Huerta to provisional regime.
Mr.. Towne declared today the signing
Of the protocol was a hopeful sign of a
satisfactory settlement being reached,
but he looked upon today as the most
critical one since the mediation confer
ence began.
Mr.. Towne was in touch early today
with Huerta's commissioners at Mag
ara Falls, and also in communication
with Mexico City by telegraph.
Constitutionalist agents were silent
on the protocol but G. A. Douglass,
one OF Carranza's legal representatives
