Probable Delegates.

The delegates, according to persons in the
condolences Of the constitutionalist junta,
viii be Fernando I. Caldero. Luis Cabrera
and Jose Vasconcelos. Cabrera has been
prominent figure in the constitutionalist
movement and intensely loyal to Car
rama Vasconcelos is young lawyer
sent here by Carranza to Investigate jul
dicial procedure in this country, with a
view to instituting reforms when he
comes into office, SO that there will be an
established form of justice and more ex-
peditious court procedure.
1t was understood here today that
lgissias Calderon. who probably will head
the Carranza delegates, is about to start
from Sa1tillo for Washington and Niagara
Falls with instructions. Calderon is
spoken of in constituuonalist circles as
man of such caliber as might be avail
able for the provisional presidency during
the transition period.
The consdtutionalists are taking the
position that they have no reason to as
sumo that they will not be received or
that the question of their participation is
q closed incident.
Swift changes in mediation proceedings
that reached climax with Carranza's
announcement that he would send repre-
sentatives to Niagara Falls encouraged
administration chiefs today when they
-esuued their study of the Mexican
problem.
Conference May Recess.
It was suggested today after the Huerta
nd American delegates have reached a
isis for a protocol there might be a
aess Of the conference to enable the
ashington government to attempt to
-sch an agreement with Carranza. The
,resence of his representatives, even if
hey were not formally admitted to the
proceedings, would facilitate such an
arrangement.
The sudden change in the trend of
negotiations between the federal and
American delegates over the transfer of
ithority in Mexico City was a source
7 tremendous relief to administration
1ciais. The Mexicans had sought to
Jide by their constitution in such a
transition. but the American mission OBJ
iected on the ground that to permit
.Uerta to name his own successor, even
u ne were chosen at the Niagara con-
ference would be tantamount to recogni-
ion of the federals The stumbling block
vas safely passed after the Mexicans
snnceded the point.
81 the State Department it was said
special Agent Carothers had been Or
sered to Saltillo soon as it was an
aounced that Gen. CarranZa would set up
as provisional government there He
will continue to act as special repre-
scntative Of the department in its deal
uss with the constitutionalists. Officials
aid the orders to Mr.. Carothers had nc
-onnection with the mediation conference
developments at Niagara Falls.
President Issues Order.
President Wilson today issued an ex.
,utive order to clear away any conflict

4ereby ordered that instructions to Gus
1ms officers concerning the expectation
4 arms and munitions of war to Mexico
~ sea shall be given by that department

oortations by land shall be issued by the
Treasury Department"
No exclamation of the order was made
but II was recalled that the recent clear
ance of the liner Antilla from New Yorl
sor Tampico with arms for the consti
tutionalists was described as "a mis-
construction of orders and it developed
that there was conflict of authority be
tween the two departments.
In many quarters the executive ordel
issued today was regarded as new evi
ience of the intention of the administra
lion to enforce the embargo
