WILL WAIT ANOTHER WEEK, BUT FOR WHAT PURPOSE IS
 NOT MADE VERY PLAIN.
PRESIDENT TALKS HOPEFUL
Evident That the Meeting of the Me diators Together Now is to Await Further Developements in the Swift Changing Situation in Mexico.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 20.-In- stead of adjourning abruptly as ex- pected the mediation proceedings will be prolonged perhaps for another week.
 The change was brought about as a result of the visit of Minister Naon of Argentina, to Washington, where he conferred with President Wilson and Secretary Bryan.
 Dr. Naon brought back a spirit Of optimism and some new ideas which he imparted to Ambassador Da Cana of Brazil and Minister Suarez of Chile, It was announced after their talk that ther would be no confer ences until MonGay The Argentine envoy reiterated the hopefulness he expressed earlier in the day
 The determination reached is to keep the mediation board from for mai adjournment though there may be a recess in another week or so while the search is continued for per sons eligible according to ideas set forth in the conferences for provi- sional president of Mexico.
 Although no definite plan has been framed, all parties expressed wish to make renewed efforts to effect a compromise.
 There is every reason to believe that the friction between Carranza and Villa, and the report that Gen eral Huerta intended to retire in fa- vor of Pedro Lascurain, affected the mediators in their decision The pos sibility of developments in Mexico in the immediate future which might change the entire aspect of the prob lem here also has been taken into consideration
 The suggestion that the mediators waive for the time being the question of the personnel and try to agree on all the other parts of the peace pro- gram is much in favor After it is complete the discussion would revert 10 names for the provisional presi- dency. If no agreement were reached, all members of the media ton colony would delight in a recess while the search for names was con tinued
 channel of communication be- tween the American government and the Huerta government would be pre- served if the friction of continued sessions were maintained. This would be pleasing to both govern ments. it is said, since relations can not be resumed on the usual diplo- matic basis in cases of emergency
 The mediation conference need not be dissolved, it Is said, but might be continued indefinitely so as to avoid resumption of hostilities at Vera Cruz, even though American troops should not be withdrawn.
 Dr. Naon's ideas, it is believed have not crystallized into a definite proposal. The impression here is that his chief object in protesting op- timism is to prevent the deadlock be- tween the Americans and Mexicans from precipitately ending the negotia- tions.
 The American view is best re flected by the statement of President Wilson that "the outlook is more hopeful"
 The view of the Huerta govern ment as expressed by MT. Rabasa is that the Mexican delegation will not take the initiative if the conference is to break up. Dr, Naon summed up the situation from the mediators' point of view when he predicted that the negotiation would be continued another two weeks.
 It rests with the mediators whether the conferences shall be continued. If after the rejection of the Ameri- can and Mexican proposals the me diators plan should meet the sam 3 fate, the conferences automatically would be ended, but there is no need for the mediators to subject their plan to the test until they are ready. Probably their plan will be with drawn for revision and thus a definite issue can be delayed as long as de sired.
 All parties to mediation have re ferred to the determination not to yield on any point which was pro
