BY JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,

QulL6u fTbSS SLdH correspondent.
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-For the
tirst time since the Mexican mediation
negotiations actually were begun, it
was admitted at the White House to-
day that there exists a possibility of
their failure. Hope has not been
abandoned, but the fact that the Huer-
tista delegates had issued their side
of the negotiation correspondence was
construed as extremely unfavorable.
In addition it was admitted that the
split between Carranza and villa has
furnished the Huerta delegates at Nj
agara with an argument against sub
mitting to the selection of a Consti-
tutionalist provisional government.
The only rift in the clouds lies in the
fact that spokesmen for the admins
tration admitted that Villa was sure
to prove more tractable to the plans
OF the United States than Carranza
has been.
A report brought to the White
House by Representative Kent Of Cal
ilfornia that Carranza had fled from
Saltillo and was en- route to Laredo
Texas, to take asylum from Villa,
found no confirmation from any other
source and was generally discredited.
