Mr.. Lehman were asked to serve as
mediators Saturday, and yesterday aft
ernoon they called upon the President
at the White House and accepted. II
is understood that they will leave for
Niagara Falls the latter part of this
week
The United States and the de facto
government of Mexico, will be the only
parties to the mediation conference be-
sides the mediators themselves, the con-
stitutionalists having refused to consider
the mediations of their differences with
the de factor government. The purpose of
the conference, therefore. is limited 20
the settlement of the differences between
tn United States and the Huerta govern
ment over the insults to the American
flag. which resulted in the seizure of
Vera CRUZ. No effort will be made to
compose the internal strife in the South
ern republic.
This week President Wilson and Sec-
Rotary of State Bryan. expect to have
several conferences with the American
mediators. in order to acquaint them fully
with the details of this governments
Mexican policy. and with the position
which the National administration de-
sires to assume in the forthcoming con-
ference.
President Wilson is known to be highly
gratified at his success in securing the
services of Justice Lamar and Solicitor
Lehman. it is understood that Justice
Lamar shesitated to accept for fear that
the mediation conference might be ex-
tended long into the summer and thus
seriously with his official duties
on the supreme bench. He assented to
the urging of the President on the ground
that 1t was a public service of the highest
sort that was asked of him.
