row that his agents will meet the Huerta
delegates and representatives of the
United States to plan for a provisional
government as outlined by the protocol
recently signed.

asking for time to consult his generals

lupe before agreeing to enter the pro-
posed peace conference was said here

Luis Cabrera. one of Carranzas agents
here, and Alfredo Breceda, private sec

after conference today that they are OPP

mediation sessions in Niagara Falls. They
say they expect definite word from Car

today with Mr.. Cabrera, sent a telegram
to the chief asking for definite word about
the mediation conference as soon as pos
sible Awaiting reply. Fernando lyle
sias Calderon, who came from Mexico as
Gen. Carranza's friend with a view to
serving as one of his agents at the con-
ference, said he would remain in Wash

Gen. Carranza informed the mediators
of the plan of Guadalupe under which
he was chosen first chief of the consti-
tutionalists, 1t would be necessary for
him to confer with his associates in the
movement before entering upon such i'm
portant negotiations.

government to succeed Gen. Huerta, he
said, necessarily might require some
change in the terms of the Guadalupe
plan. and this could not be done without
ers in the revolutionary movement.

Assurances are said to have been given
the mediators by Gen. Carranza that he
would hasten the proposed consultation
with his chief. in order that some definite
understanding could be reached quickly

forces had evacuated Aguas Calientes,
where, it had been feared, they would
make desperate resistance The next
goals in the southern campaign, 1t was
said. would be San Luis Potosi and

A perplexing element was injected into
the situation here today by the apparent
disagreement among Carranzas Wash

between the two constitutionalist lead
ers
Continued reports Of the widening of
the breach between Villa and Carranza
have served to disturb officials here.

Reports from the border quoted the
first chief as having declared that

it's own ranks" The reports recalled
