REPRESENTATION BY
REBELS DISCUSSED
REALLY UP TO u. S. WHETHER
cARRANzA GETS VOICE IN
MEDIATION.
MANY CONFERENCES ARE HELD
ConstitutionaIist Representative Re,
turns From Europe and Secret Dis
cussions are Had in Washington
Much Speculation.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June Upon
the Washington government depends
whether the mediators will receive
representatives Of the Mexican Con-
s~titutionalists. The South American
ENJOYS, 1t has become known, have
virtually resolved to go ahead with
their plans for a ~two-party agreement
between the United States and the
Huerta government and for the time
being ignore the question of Constitu-
tionalist representation.
The only thing that might disturb
such a course would be a direct init
nation from the United States that it
will withhold approval of the plans
outlined for a new provisional gov
eminent unless disposition is promptly
4 made of the subject OF the Constitu-
. t~iOnalist participation. The Mexican
delegates have had no conversations
with the mediators on this point.
Each side here is waiting on the
other to make the first move. The
Huerta delegates expect to receive
General Huerta's approval of the es-
sentials of the peace plan, together
with his opinion of some of the names
suggested for the new government, to-
day. The American delegates have
already received much information
along this line from Washington, but
no intimation as to how far they
should press the subject of Constitu-
tional representation.
May Define Attitudes.
There is to be a conference, at
which the attitude of both the media
tors may be more clearly defined.
Should the American delegates con-
Sent to go ahead with their earlier
work on the peace plan, the mediators
will continue their efforts toward an
agreement. Eventually, it is their
purpose to answer General Carranza's
latest communication, but a change in
their attitude toward the Constitution
alists may result from an insistence
on the part of the American delegates
that no agreement can be signed un.
Ill the third element in the contro-
versy is given opportunity to express
SITS views.
RebelS Hold conference.
Washington.-While Mexican me-
diation at Niagara Falls awaits word
from the Washington and Huerta gov.
ernments as to proposed terms Of set
clement of the present international
differences and composition of the in.
ternal Mexican situation, prominent
agents of the Constituencies move
ment in Mexico conferred here with
Luis Cabrera as the center of inter.
est.
1t again was declared that this gov
eminent is still firmly of the mind
that no protocol which would outline
terms of settlement of the general po-
litical affairs of Mexico, should be
signed until agents of General Car
rama had been given an opportunity
to participate in the deliberations.
The belief in official circles here,
however, is that the publication of the
CarranZa note to the South American
mediators and the answer of the me-
diators thereto may be delayed for
some days, pending further efforts on
the part of this government to bring
influence to bear which would assure
some sort of representation at Niagara
Falls of the Constituencies move
ment.
Presidential Possibilities.
While officially uniformed about
what is going on behind the doors of
the conference hall at the Falls or tho
name of those Mexicans who are be-
ing considered for the proposed pro-
visional government, the three Con-
'stitutionalists leaders were plainly in.
terested in Felix Diaz, presidential
candidate, whose representatives
twice have appeared at Niagara Falls,
and Vasquez Gomez, a prominent Mex
lean, who was an adherent of Madero,
but who has not allied himself with
the present Constituencies move
ment under Carranza. Gomez left
Mexico after the accession of Huerta
to power and has since lived in the
United States, though maintaining
constant touch with his friends in the
Mexican capital.
When Luis Cabrera, whom General
Carranza hurriedly summoned from
Europe, reached Washington, he was
met by Rafael Zubaran, minister of
the interior in the Carranza cabinet,
and Jose V~asconcelos, a second ennis
sary of the northern Mexican leader.
The three were together throughout
the day and also were In touch with
their legal advisers, through whom
they maintain communication with
the Washington government.
