NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. June a.
Gen. CarTanZa and the constitution
alists still held the center OF the me
diation stage today, and as a result
OF fiery statement issued by the
rebel leader in Durango, yesterday, 1t
was believed certain ne had brought
matters nearer TO crisis. BY reiter-
ating In the strongest terms his dec
laration that il is not within the prov
ince OF the mediation conferences to
deal with internal affairs OF Mexico
and his positive declaration that he
will not recognize any provisional
government agreed upon here or sub
init to the proposal that Huerta be
candidate for president, he has
again touched the delicate point In
the mediation proceedings
The A-B-C ENJOYS have taken the
position from the first that CarranZa
sought TO convey the impression that
the effort toward pacitying Mexico
through mediation was a joke. They
have resented this. II the mediators
were seeking through Washington a

the conference here as an invita-
tional affair. They invited Carranza
and he declined. Now, they have in.

not expect TO force his way in.
Emilio Rabasa, OF the Mexican del

might issue a statement this after
noon. He said IL would not deal with
the constitutionalist issue. but declin.
