OBJECT Of VISIT
HERE IS unknown
Consul Si|Iiman Has Not Ad-
vised President Why He Is
Hurrying to Washington.

John r. Silliman, consul at Saltillo
and President Wilson's personal rep
resentative in Mexico. has not advised
the President of the object of the hur-
ried trip he is making to Washington.
He asked the State Department for per-
mission to come without saying why,
and is expected here tomorrow.
Officials here were awaiting with in
terest today further reports from the
peace conference at Aguasca1ientes.
Little attention is being paid to the
lighting around Naco between Gov
Maytorena and Gen. Hill.
The conference which opens today at
guascalientes between representatives
of Carranza and Villa must decide
whether or not peace is to be restored
in Mexico. in the opinion of officials
here. Administration officials believed
that an agreement would be reached
providing for the selection of Fer
nando Iglesias Calderon as provisional
picking questions.
No official of the State Department
could he found who recognized the
name of Richard II. Cole. reported in
St Louis en- route to Washington from
Mexico City.
Officials generally declined to COM
nent on Coles statement that the ad-
ministration had been ready for some
time to recognize CarranZa, but it was
intimated that the question of recog-
milton was not being considered at
this time.
Neither administration officials nor
constitutionalist representatives attach
much significance to the action of the
conference of southern chiefs in Mexico
City Saturday in refusing to accept the
resignation of Gen. Carranza as first
chief. 1t was pointed out that had
the resignation been accepted it would
have left the government without any
official head and seriously complicated
the situation.
That Fernando Iglesias Calderon. de-
spite his refusal to accept the pro
visional government in the manner in
II to him. would assume that office
was firmly believed.
Calderon's Selection Expected.
1t was predicted that the peace con-
ventiop scheduled to convene in Mexi-
CO City October 10 would in all prob
ability reconsider Carranza's resigna-
ton and select Calderon as provisional
president. The latter has agreed to
accept the post if offered by represen-
tatives of both factions, and observers
here believe he is the only man whose
name has been considered so far whose
standing with the supporters of both
Villa and Carranza is such as to in
sure their cooperation in preparing
the distracted republic for a general
election.
