Not a wheel was turned today toward
continuing negotiations between the
American and Mexican ENJOYS. The
Mexicans were closeted in their rooms.
In the Prospect house on the Ameri-

with Secretary OF State Bryan during
the afternoon. The justice appeared

Dr. Naon, but there was no meeting

Tonight, following the receipt of a
message from Bryan, the Americans
met the mediators. For two hours
Justice Lamar and Frederick w. Leh-

mediators, ad1ourning shortly before
midnight At the conclusion of the
conference. Justice Lamar said nothing

that there is a feeling in the Mexican

Judge Lehman stated tonight that
the conference with the mediators
would be continued Monday. but the
situation was regarded as serious to-
night by the Mexicans. 1t Is believed
in some quarters that the sending of
the constitutionalist messenger here is
a play for time on the part of General
Carranza and is looked upon favorably
by Washington for the same reason.
