Lehman in the presence of the Am bassador of Brazil and the. ministers of Argentina and Chile in the Soarium of the Clifton house, which will here after be known as the conference room.
 Meetings will be held twice a day, in the morning and in the afternoon.
 No one, of course, can tell at this time. how long the conference will last, but well informed persons in the direct entourage of the medlators agree that the arguments to be threshed out may require one month.
 All the delegates who are to take part in the conference will be here tomorrow morning.
 New York, May 19.-'We only hope," was all that Senor Rabasa of the Mexican conferees would say when reporters asked him questions today in regard to the Niagara Falls conference.
 He denied that he had Huerta's resignation or that he had power to suggest such action on the part of the provisional president of Mexico and he was indignant at the suGges- tion that concessions would be made for a money consideration.
 The delegates and members of their party left for Niagara Falls tonight.
 Washington, May 19.-A warning note jarred the Mexican peace pros poets today. This was the news tha former Governor Chao of Chihuahua has revolted against Villa and has cast his lot with General Herrera who isa bitterly opposed to the consti tutionalist leader.
 The president and his cabinet hel( lengthy session today, and consid cred this matter in a general review of the Mexican situation.
 Former Governor Chao was remOv ed by Villa not long ago as a military measure, and it is understood he has gathered a formidable following. 4 split in the ranks of the constitution alists at this time would greatly in. crease the difficulties of the state de. partment and the mediators at Mag. ara Falls.
 Off For Peace Farley.
 The efforts of this government tc obtain a final settlement of its con troversy with Huerta and the pacifica- tion of Mexico has now been passed on to the Niagara Falrs barley. The American representatives, Associate Justice Lamar and Former Solicitor. General Lehman, left Washington to- day for that city. They were accom- panied by H. Percival Dodge, secre. tary of the American commission and Jose Macias, interpreter, as wei as staff of secretaries and stenog raphers.
 The state department is not expect ing any immediate results from thu peace conference. No one here know' in what order the mediators will tak' up the main questions of the abdica tion of Huerta, the agreement on provisional president or governmen by commission, the holding of cleo tions, the enrolment of census o voters, the creation of a new nationa debt and how it is to be guaranteed and the supervision of the election.
 Huerta Will Not Quit, Says Kerr. l It is the opinion of the administra tion, however, that Huerta will nc resign. Washington places no cred ence in the reports that he will qul on certain conditions. The latest [ bring news of Huerta's stubborpnes on this point is Robert J. Kerr, gov ernor for a day of Vera Cruz, wh has just returned from that port al ter a lengthy stay in Mexico. Jus before leaving for Chicago today h said that anyone who knows Huert knows he win never resign.
 It is also the conviction of the at ministration that it will not acceI any Conditional retirement" even
