fronted with the announcement from
Washington that the constitutional
lists were planning to send a repre-
sentative here the mediators as we'll
as the American and Mexican dele
gates awaited with much interest to-
day some word as to his mission.
Until the exact purposes of a con-
stitutionalist representative here are
officially communicated to the media
tors they will be unable to determine
whether or not he can be admitted
into the negotiations
A midnight conference of the
three mediators and the Huerta del
eRates discussed various possibilities
in this connection, but no conclusion
was understood to have been reached
in view of the absence Of definite in
formation.
In the meantime the American and
Huerta commissioners were in COM
munication with Washington and
Mexico City about the preliminary
phases Of the questions to be dis
formal conferences were planned for
today, much of the time being set
aside for sightseeing and social en-
tertainment. Informal talks be-
tween the mediators and the commits
sioners, however. are not subject to

expected to develop further conver-
sations.
Wait for Rebel Delegate.
The possible entry OF constitutionalfsts
into the gathering here was of absorb
ing interest to the mediation colony.
on lust what basis the constitutional
lists emissary would reopen negotia-
tions with the three South American
diplomats occasioned much interest
among the principals to the parleys.
The only word that had come as to
the constitutionalist intentions was
contained in press dispatches. It was
confidently expected that before any
emissaries would come here some COM
munication would be made to the medi-
ators. though 1t was also suggested that
the visit of the new delegate might be
purely informal, reserving explanation
Of his mission for a personal call.
Those here conversant with the atti-
tude previously assumed by the consti-
tutionalists with reference to the media
ton were of the opinion that their dele
gate would come without previous COM
munication and advise the mediators
that he had been authorized to give
them any information desired about the
constitutionalist purpose and program.
A Man on the Ground.
Many constitutiOnalists of prominence
have long realized the value to them OF
having O. man on the ground where the
destfnies of the southern republic are
being discussed in a forum command
ing world wide attention. This fact II
known to the mediators, who however
are most curious to learn whether Cen
eral Carranza has authorized the send
ing Of a representative here and under
what circumstances
