NO INFORMATION HAS COME FROM HIM IN REGARD TO TAX
 ING PART IN MEDIATION.
AFRAID OF COMPLICATIONS
Proposition to Have a Commission Form of Government Take Charge e Affairs in Mexico City Not Favored by Carranza.

Washington, May 23.--Another ex- change Of telegrams tonight between General Carranza and Emilio Zuba- ran, minister of the interior in the constitutionalist cabinet, left the question of representation of the Carranzistas at the Niagara confer ence undetermined.
 Jose Vasconcelos, prominently mentioned in diplomatic circles as likely selection should General Car ranza decide to have a representative at the Niagara meeting-if for noth- ing more than to give information arrived here and conferred with Mr. Zubaran, who in turn conferred with Secretary Bryan. The exchanges with the constitutionalist first chief followed.
 Mir. Nasconcelos reiterated he had no intimation that the constitutions alists might participate in the media tion or uhat he was to be selected. He declared he had stopped over in Washington while on his way to San Antonio, from where he expects 10 join General Carranza in Mexico. However MT Zubaran's conference with the secretary of state following prolonged conference today be- tween MT. Bryan, John Lind and Charles A. Douglas, attorney for the ceHstftutionalist agency, after which Mir. Bryan went to the white house, gave rise in some circles to a feeling of optimism that the processes of me diation might be facilitated by some sort of participation by the Carran- zistas. Among all the constitutional ists here, however, there was every disposition Go let word of General Carranza's intentions come from the cheI of the revolution himself. Some of those close to the cause continued to express their doubt of Carranza willingness to take any position which might be interpreted in Mexico as participation in a mediation con corning the internal affairs of that republic.
 It became definitely known tonight that the plan for a commission form 0t government in Mexico City during the transition period has not found favor with the constitutionalists.
 Before Charge OShaughnessy left the Mexican capital he forwarded to Washington, at the direction of the ,F who might be termed "elder states men," as possible council of notables to form provisional gov enment and maintain order in Mex leo City should the expected fall of Huerta occur before another govern ment were ready to spplant him.
 This list was headed by Luis Men dez. and was composed of MeXicans who were said to have had no con nection with the factions and in trigues and the revolutions of the last three years. To most of the names suggested the constitutional ists have objected, on the ground thata the men are members of the Catholic party, and on the larger ground that the constitutionalists have made other plans for assuming Che reins of power.
 Their plan provides that should sudden elimination of Huerta leave fine government in Mexico City with out head, or should q popular up rising or army revolt overturn affairs there. a constitutionahst junta al- ready proyisionally organized would take control of the machinery of gov ernment and turn it over to the chief of the constitutionalist movement. The twice recently reported disatiee- tion of General Velasco, Huerta's de- feated commander at Torreon, re peated indications of undercurrents of dissatisfaction with the Huerta regime in the capital, and the disin' tegration of the Huerta cabinet are attracting attention to ha phase of the situation. Consitutionaliss here say they. have men in the Mexican capital equal to such an emergency.
 Some of those most familiar with the complicated processes Of Mexican politics and the consideration the ecnstitutionalists feel they are obliged to nay the internal situation believe however. General Carranla might realize personally the deslra
 bility of having an agent at the
