tIement of President by
Warning Sides.

New Orleans, La, June 23.-Car.
rama will not accept the invitation of
the United States to send representa-
tives to meet Informally with the
agents of Huerta IN any endeavor to
select a provisional president, accord
ing to a statement here today Of AL
fred Breceda, private secretary to Car
rama, and a member of the latest
commission Carranza Is sending to
Washington, and Of which Fernando
Calderon, leader of the liberal party
in Mexico, and r. F. Villaviceencfo,
an official at Saltillo, are other mem
bers.
"Carranza is firm in the attitude he
will not treat with Huerta except on
the battlefield" Breceda told the Asso-
ciated Press representative. I'VE are
On very important mission to Wash
ing Of which we cannot talk, but 1t Is
not to meet with representatives Of
Huerta formally or informally"
Niagara Falls, Ont, Jan. 23.-The
mediators and American and Huerta
delegates were occupied today max
ing arrangements for an informal con-
ference between representatives of
Carranza and Huerta, on whom will
rest the burden of selecting an in
dividual for provisional president OF
Mexico. Details were lacking, and 1t
depended on the travelling arrange
ments of the constitutionalist- repre-
who are enroute here.
The fact that the warning factions
are to be brought together to discuss
the personnel for provisional president
has encouraged the mediation colony
generally to hope for a settlement.
There are many, however, who are no
more sanguine than before that the
vexed question of personality of gov
ernment can be settled successfully by
1t is an assured fact,
nevertheless, that the United States
will insist on a settlement, lest graver
ensue.
