A B c GROUP DIVIDED.
Conferences With Huerts Delegates
Temporarily Abandoned.


BY a star Correspondent OF The sUS.
NIAGARA FALLS, ont. June 2s-Ihe
mediation conference took on new
aspect to-day. Full conferences and even
IN formal CONVEX sations between the dele
gates and the mediators have been com
pIeteiy abandoned. Judging from out
side Indications the chief disagreement
seems to be among the three nediators
for they alone are continuing discussions
among themselves.
After comforting ct great length to-day
with his two colleagues Minister Naon Of
Argentina went over TO tie American
side and had "A long talk with Justice
Lamar and Frederick W. Lehman at the
proxpeo, House where the American dele
gates are stopping. They continued their
talk during All auto ride In d.. Naor
car.
Neither confirmation nor denial can be
obtained regarding the reported arrival
here OF Constitutionalist delegates 10 the
conference. The announcement that the
nedlators would Withdraw while the
Huerta and Carranza representatives dis
cuss the situation was denied on al! sides.
The three mediators were greatly incensed
by the publication OF these reports, when
they said greatly injured The cause for
which they were Workint. All uehlru
ever having considered that plan.
Persons who are prominently connected
with the Mexican delegation were amused
ly the statement made in press dispatches
this morning that the mediators had al
last succeeded In inducing the Huerta
delegates to consent to confer with rep
resentatives OF the COnstitutional!sts
They say that az no time have the Huerta
representatives objected, and that all
the opposition TO the participation Of thu
rebels in the med alton conference has
come from the med ators.
