CARRANZA DELAYS
First Chief of the Mexican Con.
stitutionalists Puts OFF a
Definite Answer
(By Associated Press.)

Washington. June 3d. With the
Niagara mediation conference on the
eve OF recess pending the proposed
meeting of representatives of General
Huerta and the Constitutionalists to
discuss the Mexican internal affairs,
General Vcnustiano Carranza. first
chief Of the Constitutionalists. tonight
telegraphed his Washington agents
that he had not heard from his asso-
ciate leaders, with regard to partici-
patton In such a conference.
CarranZa's representatives., who
earlier in the day had expected that
some definite reply might be received
by night. announced later that nothing
would be learned until tomorrow at
the earliest. The general belief here
was that 1t would lie some time before
any decision would be reached.
In the event the ConBtitutionalists
finally refuse to negotiate with HUI
crta's delegates over the internal af-
fairs of Mexico. 1t is said, a protocol
between the United States and Huerta
as to international problems will be
completed, but while some form Of
provisional government may be agreed
as the internal revolution continued.
Huerta May Run
Considerable apprehension was
created in official quarters over an
unofficial report that General Huerta
had sent two OF his children toward
Puerto. Mexico. This led to reports
that he was preparing to flee to save
,himEelf and family from falling into
the hands OF the Constitutionalists.
Whatever may be the present ex-
pectations of the Washington govern
ment as to the effects of the recess In
mediation, 1t WIS assured that this
government would continue to influ-
enco the Constitutionalists to confer
with Huerta delegates towards reach
ing an understanding as to some form
of provisional government. 1t was
learned tonight that urgent argu-
ments have been trasmitted to Car
rama. through his agents here set
ting forth the enormous responsibility
resting on the Constitutionalists as to
tho fate of their country.
Carranza agents here have been
been told to picture the possibility
which might follow Intervention in
Mexico by the United States. They
have been reminded, 1t Is said. of the
dreams of thousands Of Americans
for one solid nation from the Cana
dian border to the Panama canal, and
urged to appreciate how public opin-
ion might force the American flag
to wave for years at least over Mex
leo ehould it once be hoisted In the
capital.
In view Of the strong influences
that have been and are still being
exerted to bring about peace in Mex
Carranza will yet yield to the confer
ence. but even those who believe this.
dwell on the difficulty Of making the
Mexicans admit the United States
really Is q factor in the internal af-
fairs of their country.
It was learned tonight that. John
r. Silliman, the American consul to
SaltilIo. will return to Saltillo to rep
resent the United States.
Reports continue to reach Washing
ton OF the widening OF the breach
between Villa and Carranza. Should
this become more serious. the internal
situation. II Is admitted, would he fur
ther complicated.
Another of the Constitutionalists'
Representatives to reach Washington
today was Francisco Urquidi. wha
has been acting as consul for the
Carranzistas at New York. He has
been recalled to Mexico and tarried
there to confer with Carranza's WASH
ington agent before proceeding to
Monterey.
