Resume War

Washington, D. c., July President
Wilson and members of his cabinet were
encouraged to-day by statements that
an early adjustment of the differences

ed, and some revolutionary agents IN
! Washington saw added cause for hope
! that Carranza would send delegation
to confer with the Huerta representa-

That Carranza is preparing to resume
his military campaign is indicated in
unofficial dispatches. President Wilson
refused TO discuss the mediation situa-
tion to-day.
Uncertainty About Mexican Election
While an early report from Mexico
City said it was believed General Huerta
had been the favorite in the voting yes
terday for the presidency, the general
belief here was that Huerta had not been
candidate, and that it was the inten.
tion to choose Pedro Lascurain as pres
ident. Lascurain was minister Of for.

Vice President Suare were slain and the
successor to the president,
Reports We're received here in private
dispatches from Mexico City that
Huerta in a final effort to restore peace,
to turn the government over
to Lascnrain, who in turn. would name
some constitutionaist as minister OF for.
eign affairs.
Then Lascurain, according TO these re-
ports, would resign, leaving the consti
minister OF foreign affairs TO
succeed to the presidency
Huerta would be assigned some post
by T.ascurain before the latter's resig
nation.
That this plan would work out was
deemed unlikely in some sources here
although some agents of the constitu.
-ionalists thought that some such scheme
would be tried
