patton in Peace Conference.

Every indication in Washington
Tuesday pointed to some form of Con-
|stitutiona1ist.- participation in the
Niagara Falls mediation: conference,
|tending toward the settlement Of in
ternal difficulties affecting the gov
|ernment of Gen. Huerta as well as
the internal troubles intMexico. It
was expected that the definite posi-
ton Of Gen. Carranza would sbe=con-
municated to Niagara Falls before
many hours.
Some OF the Constitutionalists in
touch with their leader insisted Tues
day night that Carranza would not
consent to an armistice, but that he
would agree to peace proposals as
they relate to establishment Of provi-
|sional government pending a gem
eral election, provided representation
is given in the. provisional govern
ment to the Constitutionalists. Should
Carranza refuse a cessation of hos
tilities; it seemed improbable that his
representatives would be received In
the mediation conference.
While the mediators. and Mexican.
delegates were celebrating on peace
plans formulated by the Washington
government, President Wilson, Secre-.
tary Bryan and John Lind, who rep,
resents the state department in nego-
tiations with Carranza representa-
tives at Washington, conferred. Later:
Secretary Bryan declared that both
the president and himself were hope
full Of Constitutlonalist participation
in the ultimate effort for peace In
Mexico.
It was learned that some features
proposed by the administration which:
differed from the peace plan original
/ ly submitted by the mediators and
the plans of the Huerta commission
ers related to treatment OF the Con-.
stitutionalists. Administration lead
ers believe a compromise might ba.
reached which would be acceptable to
Carranza.
Should it be necessary for the;
mediation conference to Fecede pend
ing separate negotiations with Car,
rama, it is thought much could be.
accomplished toward composing the
internal Mexican situation and that
tripartite participation in the second
stage of mediation could follow with
