ENJOYS CALL FOR
THREE NFEREES
UNITED STATES. HUERTA AND
cARRANzA ARE ASKED TO AP'
POINT REPRESENTATIVES,.

Washington, May 3-The three
South American enyoys who have
undertaken the task Of pacifying
Mexico by diplomacy, today made
another decisive move in their plan
by requesting the United States gov
Ierpment. General Huerta and Gen
eral Carranza to appoint represent
atlyes 10 confer with them in Wash
ington.
Ambassador Da Cana Of Brazil
and Ministers Naon and Suarez OF
Arg.nrine and Chile, respectively,
called on Secretary Bryan, asking
him to designate the United States
representative to attend conferences
Of the medators. At the same time
they telegraphed to the head of the
government in Mexico City, as well
kas the constltutionalist chief, to the
same effect.
80 announcement Of the subjects
10 he considered By the representa-
dves Of the three parties to the
mediation, or Of the powers or func-
tong Of the new envoys was made,
excapt for the following brief state
ment which was issued through the
state department On the authority
Of the three diplomats.
The mediators have delivered t.
this government and are sending to
General Huerta and General Carran-
"a requests that representatives be
Iaupointed TO confer with the media
tors"
Follows Al l-day Session.
The proposal was the result OF an
alI-day session Of the South Ameri-
can envoys, the suggestion having
been made to them from various
quarters that louch time would be
saved and the problem of exchanging
views simplifed such a process.
The ENJOYS felt confident tonigh
that the step they had taken woult
meet with favor by all concerned
believing there could be no objection
TO a move calculated chiefly to facil
itale the progress of the work.
Thus far the responses from Gen
cral Huerta and General Carranzi
have not been clear as to whete
the differences between the unite'
| States and Mexico arising out o
the Tampico incident alone woul'
be considered by them, or whethe
they would consent TO a general dis
cussion Of the Mexican problem. b
scnding representatives here sue
difficulties would be bridged oYeI
for I'm an informal conference Wit
the medators everything pertainin
fo Mexico could be discussed befor
the stage of formal proposals wa
reached.
incidentally it is known that tn
modiators intend to concentrate thei
attention to the broad subject G
pacirying Mexico, hoping that tn
differences which arose between tn
IIuorta government and the Unite
states might become secondary I
view of a solution Of the entir
Mexican problem.
No Intra Mexico Truce.
Meantime. although the Unite
states and General Huerta hav
agreed to a cessation of hostilitie'
no word has come from either Hu
erta or Carranza in response to tn
proposal for an armistice betwee
the Mexican factions themselves
The Mcd,ators, however, are conf
dent their work can so ahead !
spite of this obstacle.
should General Huerta and Gen
eral Carranza decide to send speci;
,nyovs here. II may take at leaS
= ten days for them to get here, an
in the interim it is not believed vita
points will be reached by the med
ators.
While the day was spent by III
mcdiators in considering re pro
posals to gather here representative
of all factions, official Washinsto
and diplomatic circles were inter
ostcd in the resignation of SenC
Lopez Portillo Rojas from ii
portfolio Of minister of foreign a
fairs in the Huerta cabinet. II Wa
variously interpreted, some seeing
Il an indication Of liuerta's inter
| ton to brook no suggestion for h
own retirement, as Senior Porul
was active in the mediation pr'
| liminaries, and others suggesting
| might be the means Of selecting Il
| Mexican cabinet officer as a speoi
representative Of Huerta to conf
| with the Washington mediators.
