W. Lehman Of tho American delegation
/ TO the Clifton House carly this morning.
The American delegate had long tail,
with Ambassador da Cana OF Brazil and
earnestly urged tho ranking diplomat
among the mediators TO reconsider the
decision to publish the notes Mr.. Leh-
mann communicated to the South Ameri-
can envoy the contents OF a long mes
sage received from Washington and out
lined the reasons why, In the opinion
OF the Washington Government, more time
should be given to Carranxa.
Publication Delayed.
His strongest argument in favor of de-
lay was. however. that he had been In
formed from Washington that Gen. Car
rsnza's reply 10 the medlators' note was
on Its way to Niagara Falls The advisa-
bility OF postponinG the publication OF the
documents was understood by Senior ds
Cana. and he informed tho secretaries
engaged In preparing the notes for pub
llcation TO delay action In the matter
Mr.. Lehman arranged with the Bra
Eilian Amba ssador for n conference this
afternoon between the mediators and the
American delegates. This conference
lasted more than two hours, during which
no other matter than the attitude OF Car
ranza was discussed. At the end OF the
meeting neither Justice Lamar nor Mr.
Lehman would consent to discuss the
subject upon which they had conferred
Both appeared less confident than yes
terday, and II was clear that the discus
sion had not been altogether satisfactory.
The Carransa note will arrive here to-
morrow. according to the latest reports.
Only then will II be possible to forecast
tho fate OF the mediation conference
Rumors were again current to-day that
the proceedings would come to n sudden

will be far from Niagara Falls before the
beginning OF next week. There IL. how
ever. nothing to Justify this pessimistio
prediction. Those who are best In a posi-
ton TO know do not believe that the con-
ference will end without an agreement
having been reached. and all are OF the
opinion that no agreement can be arrived
at within n few days
Wait on Carransa.
II 10 known that pending the arrival OF
a DEFINITE reply from Carranza the Amer
lean delegates will subscribe TO no agree
ment. Should the Mexican rebel leader
maintain his defiant attitude to such an
extent as to induce the Wilson Admins
tratlon to abandon him the conference
could he closed within twenty-four hours.
All other vital issues In the Mexican prob
lem have been settled and have received
the unofficial approval OF President VIII

are even considering n plan to desert Car
rama and villa.
I, was reported here tonight that n
group OF prominent persons IN Mexico
city have decided to urge the candidacy OF
Emilio Rabasa. head Of the Mexican dele
CATION. for provisional President. Senior
Rabasa told THE SUN correspondent that
under no circumstances would he accept
the Presidency.

and that OF my colleagues IL successful.
Beyond that have no ambition.

which Is being bestowed upon me"
Press dispatches to the effect that the
mediators ard delegates are again en-
gagged IN n search for a suitable man to
'nte ren. Huer'7's place as provisional
President OF Mexico are without the
slightest foundation. Only the Carranza
Issue has been discussed In the informal
conversations held since last week.
