NEW YORK. June 1O.-Franci.co rr,-

ished here today, points out the diffi-
culties confronting the constitutionalists
In entering mediation.
Gen. Carranza has never absolutely
refused to enter mediation" the statement
declares. THE invitation. to him was
withdrawn by the mediators when he
asked what the mediators We're going to
talk about It was his right to find out
what he was going to mediate but the
mediators did not seem to think So
when they insist on an armistice they
ask Carranza to commit political suicide
ana wreck the success Of the constitu-
tionalists. 1t was different with asking
Huerta to consent to an armistice with
the United States. We are willing to
have an armistice with the United States,
too 1t Is true that Huerta has consented
to an armistice with the rebels. but that
Is the same thing as IL man was whip
ping me and I consented to have him
stop.
Would Kill Revolution.
1T would be better for the constitu-
tionalists II the people Of the United
States knew how hard q proposition ID
placed before us. Let me explain what
an armistice would do for US: 1t would
completely kill the revolution. The revo-
lutionary army is recruited from men who
must be kept in action In order to be
kept in the army. This the Huerta dele
gates knew when they prepared an armis-
tice.
IF the mediators want to settle the
question they should invite all parties and
not impose restrictions. Surely they know
that nothing can be settled in Mexico
without consulting the constitutionalists.
We are willing to talk matters over. but
we want to know. first, what We are
going to discuss, and second. that there
will be no promise asked from US to stop
our revolutionary advance and wreck our
cause"

issue before the country at this time
and endangering the chances of the
democratic party in the congressional

Senator Tillman announced he would
vote for repeal only because he felt his
state party convention had freed him
from the tolls joker in the Baltimore
platform.
'It staggers my common sense. and
why he projected the fight on his party

Presidents demand for repeal. TT is
of great Importance to the democratic
election. but 1 believe the President
should have kept quiet until that elec-

politics to have done So"
Wisdom in Silence, He Says.
Until this issue was pressed to the
front the course Of democracy has been
onward and upward" Senator Tillman
declared. The opposition was hopeless
and helpless. There was wisdom in si-
lence and it would have been golden.
There are so many things of more inn

to do that 1 must say in my opinion it

tee of the House adjourned today until

tive Hobson and Mr.. Dinwidd1e, wno'
II is assured. will strenuously oppose
a vote in the House on the Hobson
resolution at this time. .-..
Anti-Euuor forces believe the House will
defeat the Hobson resolution II 1t Snouio

the House must vote for it, as 1t proposes
an amendment to the Constitution; II II
should be defeated now 1t would pury

Summoned by Committee.
Representative Hobson and Mr.. Din
widdie were summoned by Chairman
Henry of the rules committee after the
committee had taken recess shortly be-
fore noon today Mr.. Hobson was not
fully informed as to the reasons for his
appearance before the committee until he
and Mr. Dinwiddie had talk with Rep
resentative Henry.
Those members of the House who
wish to defeat the Hobson resolution
are in control of the strategic situa
tion at present. according to the judg
ment and expressed opinion of several
of the older leaders of the democratic
side of the chamber. The political sit
uation will be greatly cleared for men,
bers if the Hobson resolution is brought
out and defeated. although it has been
said by many of them that they will
go to their political fall. no matter
how they vote on the resolution.
The situation is a spectacular one For

this LEGISLATION upon Congress. have del

tions of carload size and have poured
argument after argument into the ears of
waiting committee members, whose eco
nomic function. as far as politics was
concerned. seemed to be to keep the anti
