AWAIT WORD FROM cARRANzA,
Acceptance of Proposal for Infor-
NAL Conference Believed Assured.


Carranza's acceptance of the PROPOSE
ton for an informal conference with the
Huerta delegates to settle the internal
difficulties of Mexico will be received be-
fore Saturday. This definite understand
ing Of the position of the first chief
was received by his agents here yester-
day.
1t already is settled that Louis Cabrera
and Fernando Iglesias Calderon will rep
resent Carranza at these conferences.
and that Jose Vasconcelos will act as
secretary TO the delegates.
The suggestion for this conference came
from the United States, it was learned
yesterday, although II originated with
the mediators. This was the reason for
the visit here of the Argentine diplomat,
Romulo Naon, last week. The mediators
could not afford to have the suggestion
come directly from them, and after Naon
submitted the plan to Secretary Bryan,
he communicated the entire plans of the
mediators to Luis Cabrera at a secret
conference. Later In the evening Presi-
dent Wilson discussed the question with
Naon and Bryan.
Reply Is Unnecessary.
Calderon is expected to leave New Or
leans today, and should arrive here about
the same time as Carranza's acceptance
of the plan is made public. 1t definitely
was stated yesterday by representatives
of the leader of the constitutionalists that
the presence in New Orleans of Alfredo
Freceda, one of Carranza's confidential
agents, who has acted as his private sec
retary at times, has no connection, even
with the plan for the informal
conferences.
The suggestion to Carranza was OF
such a nature that b formal accept
anee will be unnecessary. when the
first chief signifies to his agents here
that he is willing to agree to the plan.

Buffalo will doubtless Be the place
selected for these conferences. Con-
tinued reports from New Orleans, pur-
porting to quote Breceda, TO the effect
that CarranZa absolutely will not con-

country is a mystery even to members
Of the. constitutionalist junta here.
No Recognition of Hurrta.
It was also pointed out to him that in
agreeing TO the proposition. and sending
delegates TO Buffalo or wherever the con-
ferences will be held, the constitution
alists would not in the least recede from
their refusal to submit the internal af-
fairs of Mexico to the mediation of other
powers Neither would it be recognition
Of the right of Huerta to rule. In view
OF these considerations. CarranBa Is un-
derstood to have accepted.
