ize that the Mexican commi ssioners also have private instructions from General Huerta dealing with the exercise Of plenary powers and that certain vital points will have to be referred to Gen eral Huerta for decision, but the feel ing prevails that the Mexican executive has placed the solution of the problem involving his own elimination if nee essary. in the hands of his agents here. The mediators had their first oppor- tunity early today to learn the char aeter of the powers held by the Mexican commissioners, but until disclosed by the conference 1t probably will not be known exactly under what conditions General Huerta will retire.
 Encouragement Expressed
 Both the Mexican and American rep resentatives expressed encouragement
 over what appeared to them smooth
 progress thus far No hitch has oc-
 cured they said. The mediators have
 been chiefly exchanging ideas and get
 ting the viewpoint of the delegates.
 They will continue in this manner un- til a point is reached where benefits might come from a full conference such as was inaugurated at the hrst formal session yesterday.
 The session with the Mexican dele gates early today was held at the re- quest of the mediators, but the con ference in the afternoon with the Americans came about as result oi a formal call by the latter on Minis ter Suarez. The American commission CTS incidentally told Minister Suarez
 that they had received word from Pres
 ident Wilson since the talk last night,
 and Amba ssador da Cana and Minis
 ter Moan were summoned by MT.
 SuareZ. The conference lasted nearly an
 hour. It was generally understood aft
 erwards that the procedure mapped out
 by the mediators has been approved at
 Washington. tonight the mediators and Americans and Mexican delegates were
 guests of Martin Burrell, Canadian
 minister of agriculture, who gave an
 official dinner to the visitors on be-
 half of the Canadian government.
