DECLARE ACTION OF UNITED STATES IS TANTAMOUNT TO
 ABETTING ELECTION FRAUDS
CONFERENCES MAY CONTINUE
Breaking of Villa and Carranza Has Given Medators Hope That the ConsttutionaIists May Recede From Former Position.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 1.-The Huerta delegation lo the mediation conference issued statement to- night charging that the insistence by the United States on constitution aiist for the provisional presidency as opposed to a neutral" was "tanta- mount to abetting Snd even exacting fraud and violence at the elections.
 The publication of this statement was unexpected by the American delegates When they learned of it their attitude was that the Huerta delegates were acting entirely within their rights when they criticised the American plan for the establishment of a provisional government in d communication addressed to the Americans themselves but they were greatly surprised by the Mexican delegates action in giving it out.
 1he Mexican statement outlines the substance of a memorandum dated June F, which the Huerta dele gatets gave to the American dele gates and to which the latter since have replied.
 Justice Lamar and Mr. Lehman read the statement issued by the Mexican delegation and determined to make public their reply. This will be given out tomorrow.
 The preface of the statement ex- plained that publication tonight was made because knowledge of the criti- cism already had reached representa- tiyes of the press. Continuing, the statement follows:
 There is no reason for further coneealment of the differences that have arisen between the American and Mexican delegations to which the press has already referred, over uhe provisional government for Mex ico which is at present under consid- eration. The Mexican delegation, adopting a principle advanced by the mediating plenipotentiaries, agreed to the designation as provisional president of neutral. The Amer- can delegation submitted it's plan, lased on the condition that the pro- ,isional president shall be a constl- tutlonalist. condition which the Mexican delegation flatly rejected, of it's own accord and without even consulting it's vernment. To put in writing the reasons for the rejec- ton, so that they might better lse studied by the American delegates, the Mexican delegation addressed to them the memorandum mentioned. the chief considerations of which are the following
 In a country unused to electoral functions, such as Mexico, and par tcularly in the circumstah ees and conditions it would be in, once 'he revolution had ceased, provisional government composed of revolution thority throughout the country would turn the elections as it wished; the public vote would be ialsilied and the result would necessarily be the cleo ton of another revolutionary. Con- sequently when the Washington gov ernment insists today on the desig- nation of a constitutionalist as provi- sional president it favors also from today the imposition of revolution- ary president at the elections. Such an attitude is bad for both countries and for the chief ur the revolution (who will doubtless also be it's can didate); that for two countries it will create a national sentiment of hostility with the Mexican people, when a sympathetic reapproachment between them and the United States should be striven for bad for Car. ranza and for his party because pub lie opinion in Mexico, whose suscept- ibility in the matter is well known to them, would ever accuse them Of having brought about the interyen- ton of a foreign nation to enable them to achieve power and of wield- ing an authority submissive to for ei~n government.
 Tn the United States and in Euro pean countries the influence of the government in power on elections is slight if any. In I-atin-American countries 1t is usually decisive, and being product of revolution which believes in its right to power by con-
