President Wilson made it clear to
his callers that the campaign, if such

Washington, June 15.-Secretary
Bryan conferred at length with Pres
ident Wilson over the progress of the
Mexican mediation today. and imme-
diately afterward dispatched a long
telegram to the American delegates
at the Niagara conference, which it
was understood concerned the characs
ter and personnel of the proposed
provisional government and the atti-
tude of the Mexican delegates, VINO OBJ
ject to a provisional executive with
constitutionalist leanings.
Mr.. Bryan would not discuss the
nature of his conference with the
president, and would only say that
mediation was progressing satisfac-
tcrily.' The opinion prevailed here
that the United States would not re-
cede in its desire to have named as
the head of the temporary government
which would succeed Huerta, a man
who would be acceptable to the revo-
lutionary faction.
The presence in Washington of Pc
dro del villar continues to arouse
speculation, and report was persist
ent that adherents of Felix Diaz. rep
resented by Delegate Villar, and the
Huertistas had patched up their diff
ferences and were acting together to
exert the strongest possible influence
before the mediators. Del Villar is
said to have conferred with represen-
tatives of Huerta. Constitutionalist
agents in Washington had received no
reply from the mediators today to
the offer of Carrasza to send dele
gates to Niagara Falls.

of the Americans in sspousing a con-
stitutionalist for provisional president
of Mexico, were declared without
foundation today wnen the mediators
and delegates resumed their sessions.
Emilio Rabasa, head of the Mexican
delegation, authorized the statement
that no charges of bad faith against
the United States had been made at
any time. He insisted the Mexican
delegates had not wired for permis-
sion to withdraw and that the nego.
tions had never reached such stage.
He added that until the American
plan was submitted in writing last
week the Mexican delegates had no
intimation of the desire of the United
States that constitutionalist be chos-
en-.
Augustin Rodriguez, another of the
Mexican delegates, was emphatic in
his statement that the Mexican dele
gates were not preparing to withdraw
He said they would exhaust every eff
fort and make every concession within
reason to arrive at a peaceful solution.
All sides are practically agreed now
that on the selection of a provisional
president of Mexico the success or
failure depends. The Huerta dele
gates have suggested five names. The
Americans have informally suggested
several but are waiting for complete
list from Washington.
