NIAGARA FALLS. Ont. May z2.-
Confronted with the announcement
from Washington that the Constitu-
tionalists were planning to send a
representative here, the mediators as
well as the American and Mexican
delegates. awaited with much interest
today some definite word as to his
mission.
Until the exact purposes Of a Con-
stitutionalist representative here are
ofneially communicated to the
mediators they win be unable to de-
termine whether or not he can be ad-
mitted into the negotiations.
A midnight conference Of the three
mediators and the Huerta delegates
discussed various possibilities in this
connection, but no conclusion was
understood TO have been reached in
view of the absence of definite in
formation.
No Formal Conferences Today.
In the meantime the American and
Huerta commissioners were in conn
munication with Washington and
Mexico City about the preliminary
phases of the questions to be dis
cussed in the mediation itself. No
formal conferences were planned for
today, much of the time being set
aside for sightseeing and social en-
tertainment. Informal talks between
the mediators and the commissions
ers. however, are not subject to reg
ular schedule. SO that the day was
expected TO develop further conver-
sations.
The possible enry of Constitution.
alists into the gathering here was Of
absorbing interest to the mediation
colony
On just what basis the Constitu-
tionalist emissary would reopen me-
| gotiations with the three South Amer
ican diplomats occasioned much m
terest among the principals to. the
parleys. The only word that had
come to the Constitutionalist inten-
tions was contained in press dis
patches It was confidently expected
that before any emisssries would
come here some communication would
be made to the mediators. though It
was also suggested that the visit Of
the new delegate might be purely in
formal, reserving explanation of his
mission for a personal call.
Those here conversant with the at
titude previously assumed by the Con-
stitutionalists with reference to the
mediation were of the opinion that
their delegate would come without
previous communication and advise
the mediators that he had been au-
I thorized to give them any informa-
ton desired about the Constitutional-
ist purposes and program.
Emissary wen-Known.
Many Constitutionalists of PROM
inence have long realized the value TO
them of having a man on the ground
where the destinies Of the southern
republic are being discussed in a
forum commanding worldwide at
tention. This fact is known to the
mediators who, however, are most
curious to learn whether General Car
rama has authorized the sending OF
a representative here and under what
circumstances.

man who would represent the Con-
tstitutionaIists, is well known to many
