NIAGARA FALLS, Ontario. June 15-
The American delegates. mediators and
Mexican delegates resumed their inforraa,
conferences today on the personnel and
form OF the new provisional government
OF Mexico. More names We're discussed,
but the American delegates have not yet
obtained from the constitutionalists a
complete list of those persons who would
be acceptable to them.
In the absence of definite information
about the constitutionalist attitude on
personnel. the discussion was devoted to
some extent to the phrasing Of the second
plank Of the peace plan. 1t is considered
most likely that provisional president
and four cabinet officers viii be pro-
vided for instead of commission or
council. as the latter is not in conformity
with the Mexican constitution.
All sides agree that on the selection

delegates are hopeful that in the end

Silent on "Bad Faith" Charge.
The publication in some newspapers
of charges of bad faith against the
American government for it's espousal
at this juncture Of constitutionalist

formal comment from the American
delegates. It is known, however. that

Denies Any Charges Made.
Emilio Rabasa, head of the Mexican
delegation, later authorized the state
ment that no charges of bad faith
against the United States had been made
Ny the Mexican delegates at any time
He insisted that the Mexican delegates
had not wired for permission to with
draw and that the negotiations had not
reached such stage. He added that
until the American plan was submitted
in writing last week. the Mexican dele
gates had no intimation of the desire of
the United States that a conStitutionaist
be chosen.
1t was suggested that the mediators for
diplomatic reasons might have withheld
an explanation of the American point of
view in the hope of persuading the
United States to make concessions as the
negotiations developed.
Augustin Rodriguez. another of the
Mexican delegates. was emphatio in his
statement that the Mexican delegates
were not getting ready to withdraw. He
said they would exhaust every effort and
make every concession within reason in
order to arrive at a peaceful solution
