MEDIATORS HOPEFUL

Villas Power Is Increasing

New Orleans, June 23.-Carran-
"a will not accept the invitation
Of the United States to sent rep
resentatives to meet informally
with agents of Huerta in any en-
deavor to select a provisional
president, according to a state
ment here today of Alfred Brecda,
private secretary to Carranza and
a member of the latest commission
Carrsnza is sending to Washing
ton, and of which Fernando CAL
deron, leader Of the Liberal party
in Mexico, and r. =. Viceneia, an
official of Saltilo, are other mem
bers.
"Carranza is firm in his attitude that
he will not treat with Huerta. except
on the battlefield" Breceda told the
Associated Press representative.
I'VE are on very important mis-
sion to Washington, of which we can
not talk, but it is not to meet with
representatives of Huerta, formally or
informally" he said.
Preparations For Conferences.
Niagara Falls, June 23.-The media
tors and American and Huerta dele
gates occupied today in making ar
rangements for the informal confer
enoes between representatives, Of Car
rama and Huerta on whom will rest
the burden of selecting an individual
for provisional president of Mexico.
Details are lacking and they depend
ed on the travelling arrangements of
the Constitutionalist representatives
who are en- route here.
The fact that the warning factions
are to be brought together to discuss
the personnel for the provisional gov
ernment has encouraged the media
tion colony generally to hope for a
settlement. There are many, how
ever. who are no more sanguine than
before that the veXed question Of the
personality of government can be set
tied successfully by diplomacy 1t is
an assured fact. nevertheless, that the
United tSates will insist on a settle
sue.
Victory For Villa Faction.
El Paso Texas, June 23.-The re-
movaI Of General Trevino as Carran-
za's chief of staff. and Of Ysidro Fa-
bella. acting minister of foreign rela-
tions in the Constitutionalist cabinet,
reported from Saltillo, is taken by the
revolutionists here as a victory for the
villa faction.
The prospective appointment OF Ed
uardo +. Hay as Trevino's successor is
hailed as agreeable to both factions.
Hay is now chief of staff of General
Iturbe i'm Sinaloa. He won his spurs
in the Madero' revolution. He was
hero of the first battle at Casas Gran
des. where he lost an eye. He is civil
engineer and a graduate OF the Uni
versity of Notre Dame, Indiana.
Fabela, young attorney of Mexico
City. took a conspicuous part in the
drafting of Carranza's notes to Wash
ington and Niagara Falls and il is
predicted that Luis Cabrera, now in
Washington, will succeed him. The
presence near Carranza Of Hay and
Cabrera would create different atti-
tude on the part of the rebel govern
meut both internally and internation-
ally, is the belief of local observers.
