DEVELOPMENTS HALTED
MEXICAN SITUATION SEEMS TO
BE AT STANDSTILL.
Peace Conference Awaits Result Of
Negotiations Between Villa and

The Mexican situation Monday
night appeared to be at standstlI.
It was generally believed at Wash
ington that no arrangements for
meeting to settle Mexico's internal
troubles could be made until the con-
ference at Torreon between Villa and
Carranza's generals conclude an ad-
iustment of differences between the
Constitutionalist leaders. This prob
ably will consume several more days.
DR.. Romulo S. Naon, Argentine
minister, one of the South American
mediators, discussed mediation at
length with Secretary Bryan. After
the conference Mr.. Naon reiterated
his expression of hope that Carranza
and Villa soon would adjust their
troubles and that Carranza would be
authorized by the leaders of the rev.
olution to send delegates to confer
with Huerta's representatives. Should
the Joint conference between Huer-
tistas and Carranzistas eventually be
arranged, it is believed it will be held
in New York.
Meagre reports of Sundays cleo
ton in that part of Mexico controlled
by Huerta, in which Gen. Huerta is
said to have been reelected, though
by such a scant vote that the cleo
tion may be declared void, caused no
excitement in official circles. Presi-
dent Wilson smilingly declined to
comment upon it. There was an un-
dercurrent report, however, that the
election was designed to pave the
way for some stratagem by Huerta.
The rumor still persisted that he
contemplated turning the office over
to Pedro Lascurain and leaving the
country. Unofficial reports were cir
culated that a special train bearing
members Of Gen. Huerta's family and
families of some of his generals had
left Mexico City during the day for
Puerto Mexico.
An echo Of trouble arising over the
printing and misdirection Of 30,OOO,-
900 pesos Of Constitutionalist money
in washington came Monday when a
warrant was issued and forwarded to
Ell Paso for the arrest of Santiago
V. Winfield, an agent of the Consti-
tutionalist treasury department,
charging him with embezzlement.
When President Wilson was asked
to comment on Sundays election in
Mexico he laughed and said: Il
hardly think any comment from me
is necessary"
When asked if he knew anything
rof Gen. Huerta's plans for leaving
Mexico, he smiled again and said:
"I am afraid I am not in his conf
dence." The president refused to
discuss mediation, saying the media
tors were in recess at present in the
hope that the warning factions will
get together.

VOTED AGAINST BLEASE
MENDEL SMITH DENIES POLITI-
CAL RUMOR ABOUT HIM.
Called Off Business Engagement in
Order to Fight Blease as National
Committeeman.

The citizens Of Kershaw county,
the home of N. L. Smith, gave Mr..
Smith splendid ovation Friday. In
speaking Mr.. Irby said he had heard,
in Laurens. that Mendel L. Smith
had begged the Blease kershaw
county convention to elect him del
egate to the State convention, be-
cause not to do so would hurt him,
and further that he promised to go
to Richmond, Va, and let his alter
nate serve, it being said to have been
the determination Of the county to
send up only Blease delegates.
A Smith supporter questioned the
truth Of the statement, and Mr. Irby
said he would give Mr.. Smith a
chance to deny it if he wanted to.
Laying aside his flowers Mr.. Smith
arose and facing the audience, which
had grown quiet, said:
cat the time the State convention
met in Columbia two years ago I did
have a business engagement in Rich
mond, but when I heard, on the
streets, that Blease was a candidate
for delegate to the national conven-
tion I cancelled my engagement in
Richmond, went to the State conven-
tion as delegate from Kershaw and
voted against Cole L. Blease for del
egate to the national convention"
A shout went up and an ovation
lasting several minutes was given to
Mr.. Smith. 1t was several minutes
before the applause and Cheers quiet
ed.
Mr.. Irby, facing the audience,
said: ''I heard the report in Lau-
rens and I meant to give Mendel
Smith an opportunity to deny it in
his home town. If it yere true I
meant to tel. it on every stump in
South Carolina Supporters of Mr..
Smith rushed up to shake his hand
on his manly reply.
